Thunder Bay Community Pasture Walk and Field Day
July 30 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
NOFIA invites you to the Thunder Bay Community Pasture Walk and Field Day, in collaboration with OMAFA and Lakehead University, along with the board of the Thunder Bay Community Pastures.
The event will highlight the ongoing pasture improvements as the pasture management adapts towards a rotational grazing system as well as key research projects taking place on the pasture. The Living Labs project on carbon sequestrations in soil will be highlighted, as well as the final season of research for the rotational grazing project with Lakehead University.
OMAFA’s Christine O’Reilly will be on hand to discuss optimal management of forages and the research around the use and calibration of a rising plate meter. This will be contrasted with the remote sensing data being collected by drone and analyzed by Lakehead’s labs.
The event will start at the pasture with a walk and demonstration, with a talk to follow at the nearby O’Connor Hall.
*This event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Rotational Grazing
