Last Friday, we hosted a Soil Health Field Day at the Wayne County Farm! 🚜

Attendees learned about how multispectral imaging with drones is used to look at plant health, soil testing, soil biology, and about some common pasture plants. 🌱🔬🪏

A big thank you to Drone Deployment Services, LLC, Stroud Water Research Center, and Penn State Extension Wayne County for making this day such a successful learning experience for all!

Funding for this project was provided by a mini-grant from the PA Department of Environmental Protection.

Our Watershed Specialist was able to be a part of this fun afternoon with Pike-Wayne Trout Unlimited and a local 4-H chapter! 🍀

The 4-H club learned about fly tying, casting, and aquatic organisms. Some participants even got to practice their new skills and caught fish afterwards! 🎣🐟
