During March, Scenic Hudson continues hosting presentations that share information about the group’s Foodshed Conservation Plan, a blueprint for ramping up local agriculture through preserving farmland, with the presentation “Soil Regeneration to Help Your Garden,” from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3 at the River Center at Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park in Beacon.

Scenic Hudson hosts farmer Benjamin Banks-Dobson of Stone House Farm in Livingston, who will talk about the importance of maintaining healthy topsoil for farming and gardening.
