2025 Cultivating Resilience Winter Conference

The Ottawa Conservation District, Allegan Conservation District, and ODC Network are partnering together again with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), MSU Extension, and Ottawa County to host the 2025 Cultivating Resilience Winter Conference! This event is a day of learning and networking for the agricultural community, allowing West Michigan farmers to discover proven strategies to boost soil health and protect your land for future generations.
