Did you know, every $1 spent on upstream mitigation saves $6-$10 in downstream repair costs?
Flood mitigation is cheaper than flood repair!
This workshop is presented in partnership with CCE Ulster County.
Walk through the farm identifying sites of concern, how they plan on managing them, and the work they will put in to manage the water and erosion on the property and all the work they've already done.
Mastwood Farm received the Ulster Resilience grant and from that built a storm water embankment pond to decrease field flooding/erosion, added 10 more acres of tree crop plantings and purchased a Ventrac mower that is specialized in mowing across slopes that matches our on contour orchard design for flood mitigation.
We will be touring all those elements and talking about the other tree crop systems they planted out there.
