Resourceful Communities launches its third Peer Learning Visit on October 27-28 in Bladen, Pender and Wayne Counties. Focused on sustainable agriculture, the program provides on-site learning opportunities for partners.
A small group (15-20 people) from partner organizations will visit peer host sites to talk with sustainable ag practitioners and resource professionals. Host partners will discuss start-up, challenges, resources and take-home strategies.
Please note that on-site farm tours require some walking on uneven terrain. These sites are not handicap accessible. Site visits will take place rain or shine.
Application Process: If you are interested in participating, email Resourceful Communities to receive an application. Completed forms must be returned by ***October 13***. We will notify applicants by October 15.
Cost: Resourceful Communities will provide lodging, meals and mileage reimbursement for participants. Transportation will be provided during the trip.

Resourceful Communities has helped partners establish NC's first community forest on a 532-acre parcel in Hoke County. Community forestry engages local partners in planning, management and stewardship. Adjacent to forestlands with the second largest US population of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, this community forest will restore habitat and provide economic, recreational and educational opportunities and more.
Watch the UNC-TV report about Hoke Community Forest and learn about benefits to the community and future plans for the forest.
