T.L. Storer - Regenerative Agriculture Camp
“Regenerative Agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances ecosystem services. It aims to capture carbon in the soil and above-ground biomass (plants), reversing current global trends of atmospheric accumulation of CO2 causing climate change. At the same time, it offers increased yields, resilience to climate instability, and higher health and vitality for farming and ranching communities.” - Terra Genesis International

The course will include topics from the following merit badges: American Business, Animal Science, Astronomy, Communication, Environmental Science, Farm Mechanics, Forestry, Insect Study, Mammal Study, Nature, Plant Science, Public Speaking, Soil and Water Conservation, Sustainability, Truck Transportation, Veterinary Medicine & Weather.
Scouts should be prepared for 4-5 hours per day of farm work, it will be April in New England so it will be muddy, we will be around hay, cattle, goats, donkeys and sheep. While there are several merit badge opportunities during this week, some will require additional work outside of the camp, the TL Storer staff will be available to help Scouts complete any partial merit badges after the camp week.
Space in this course is limited.
