We’re excited to be part of an effort to help inspire women to tell the story of women in agriculture through the Stewardship Ambassador program. Do you have various experiences with conservation practices (e.g. CRP, cover crops, etc.) on your farm? Do you want to help other women gain the knowledge and confidence to take conservation action on their land? If so, this opportunity is for you!
If the following sounds like you, you’re the type of woman we’re seeking to step up and serve as one of the Stewardship Ambassadors:
1) You want to tell your conservation story,
2) You’re open to talk with the media, and
3) You want training on tips and tools to prepare you for speaking to a range of audiences.
Ambassadors (ideally 3 in North Dakota and 3 in South Dakota) will be asked to speak to small or large groups of women landowners and others to share their expertise and engage other women in conversations about conservation. For your time, stipends will be provided for these speaking engagements. Landowners with experience with and/or interest in land access and equity considerations with land ownership and growing food are encouraged to participate. If you’re interested in this opportunity to empower others, please let NPSAS know today. If you’d like more information, email Krysti Mikkonen.
