A classroom portion will be followed by field visits to view the applied theory. Speakers will include Peter Coughlan of Maine DOT and David Rocque, the Maine State Soil Scientist. The workshop is being supported in part by a US EPA grant to prevent pollution and improve water quality in the Damariscotta Lake watershed. The $45 fee includes morning coffee and lunch.
