Native plants are gaining popularity, and a Charlottesville homeowner has made them the focus of her residential landscape. She documents her gardens on Plants Map.On May 20th & 21st the State Envirothon, was held on the beautiful campus of Ferrum College in Ferrum, VA. Thirteen Envirothon teams from across the state came well prepared, giving it their very best efforts at every skill station – Aquatics, Forestry, Soils, Wildlife and the 2018 special topic, Pastureland Management. Louisa County High School placed 3rd in the State with a 1st place in Soils. Western Albemarle High School placed 7th, a solid achievement for their first time competition at the state level. Congratulations!
TJSWCD extends our best wishes to Jamestown High School Envirothon team who will represent the state of Virginia at the National Envirothon in Idaho in July.

A big thank you to all the participants, sponsors, speakers and partner agencies that came out to Scottsville to take part in our 2018 Spring Field Day yesterday!
Attendees learned about pasture optimization, forage and weed identification, soil fertility and were able to see a successful rotational grazing system in practice.
We would like to give a very special thanks to the Coleman family of C-Stock Farm for graciously opening up their beautiful farm to us.
