Clarion Conservation District: Roots So Deep

(Clarion, PA) – A FREE showing of the documentary, “Roots So Deep”, will be held on March 11th from 6:30pm - 9:00pm at the Trinity Point Church of God (180 West Trinity Drive, Clarion, PA).

This exciting documentary focuses on different management practices at neighboring farms, with scientists collecting data on everything from soil organic matter, insects, birds, plant diversity, etc. After the data is collected and shown to the farmers, poignant conversations ensue that challenge farmers to consider new ways of management beyond the traditional mindset that has been handed down through the generations.

This showing is free to the public, with snacks available for purchase. The event is hosted by the Western PA Grazing Conference Committee comprised of partners from USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS), Jefferson, Clarion, Clearfield Conservation Districts, NW & SW PA Project Grass, Penn State Extension, local farmers, and grant support from PA Grazing Lands Coalition.
