News Release
SYRACUSE – Spring is the perfect time to reconnect with the land we call home, and the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation’s March Conservation & Coffee gathering offers a welcoming place to start.
Join WACF from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, March 7, at the WACF Levinson-LaBrosse Education Center, 11586 SR 13, Syracuse, for a free morning of learning, conversation and community – breakfast included.
This month’s theme, “Living on the Land – How to Take Care of It,” brings together two professionals who work daily to protect and restore natural spaces.
Jody Overmyer of the Marshall County Soil and Water Conservation District will share practical insights on the power of native plants — how they strengthen soil, support wildlife and help homeowners create resilient landscapes.
Cecilie Keenan of Kosciusko Wetland and Woodland Invasive Plants will follow with a discussion on invasive species, how they spread and what individuals can do to stop them.
Whether you’re a gardener, a lakeshore resident or simply someone who enjoys the outdoors, this free event offers practical ways to care for the land beneath your feet.
Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation and leave inspired to make a difference this spring.
