This event is a fantastic opportunity for individuals and families to learn, engage, and take action towards a more sustainable future.”
“By raising awareness and fostering a sense of stewardship, events like these play a vital role in protecting and preserving our natural resources and rural heritage for future generations,” said Commissioner President, Randy Guy. “We hope that residents come out and join us for a great day at the beautiful Summerseat Farm.”
