Sustainable Idaho: Nature Conservancy

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE NATURE CONSERVANCY

On today’s episode, Madison speaks with Brad Johnson, the Regenerative Agriculture Senior Advisor of the Nature Conservancy, to talk about the Nature Conservancy’s contribution to the new Minico High School farm management program. This episode discusses how, earlier this year, Minico High School, a school in Rupert, built a new agriculture building to help support their growing Future Farmers of America program. With a donation of four-acres adjacent to the building and with help from the Nature Conservancy, students will have the opportunity to operate and run a small farm. Read more about the Nature Conservancy’s role here. To learn more about the Nature Conservancy and what they do, go to The Nature Conservancy in Idaho.
