Engaging with the agricultural community in Fredericksburg

On June 1st, the COAST Card team and Global Sustainability Scholars attended the 2024 Community Ag Outreach event in Fredericksburg, VA. The event was hosted by the Tri-County/City Soil and Water Conservation District and Patawomeck Indian Tribe. Our table was interactive, following a listening session format which allowed attendees to identify watershed values, threats, visions, and actions, and to share their experiences with agriculture. This was an opportunity to engage with farmers, landowners, and local public and private organizations involved in conservation. The site also featured the Patawomeck Museum and Cultural Center, an outdoor Living History Village, and gardens.
