Brix Happy Hour Celebration for Wisconsin Women in Conservation Week!

Join WiWiC in celebrating Wisconsin Women in Conservation Week, July 5-11, as proclaimed by the Governor. This will be our fifth year meeting at Brix Cider to celebrate this week recognizing the incredible women conservationists, farmers, gardeners, and educators who are doing the good work of earth stewardship in the state! We always have a great time enjoying Brix snacks and connecting with friends old and new.

This is an informal gathering at Brix Cider - outside, weather permitting.

The host of this event will be WiWiC Project Lead and Michael Fields Agricultural Institute (MFAI) Education Director Dr. Esther S. Durairaj. She will be joined by Dr. Mrill Ingram, an environmental writer and geographer who is also MFAI's Participatory Action Research Scientist. Ingram will share what she has learned through five years of leading the Wisconsin Cover Crop Data Network, a farmer-driven citizen science project. But the main event will be YOU - sharing updates about how you're doing and how your conservation efforts are going. Bring business cards and brochures, news to share and ways to care. Event is free but registration is appreciated.

All WiWiC events are FAMILY FRIENDLY! Feel free to bring kids, spouses, friends, and neighbors. Delicious food, cider, rootbeer floats, and cocktails will all be available for purchase.

You don’t have to be a woman to celebrate the accomplishments of women! We invite everyone to come learn, share, support, and connect with others committed to healthy people, soils, and spaces.
