This grant, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), is for the primary purpose of supporting comprehensive farmland preservation efforts. It aims to maintain and enhance existing hayfields and a vital kitchen garden through a series of hands-on agricultural activities. These include crucial tasks such as systematic plowing, careful planting, efficient irrigation, diligent weeding, and the harvesting of both hay and various vegetables, all conducted using established protocols. Additionally, a significant component of this grant is dedicated to the essential care and welfare of the park’s livestock, encompassing horses, sheep, and chickens. This initiative is designed to ensure the continuity of sustainable farming practices and bolster food security within the community.
