We'd like to announce the final workshops in the Sustainable
Agriculture
Series.  We have had one request not to send the hunting info due to
personal feelings about the issue, but since this is a list-serve, we
are unable to control who it is sent to (sorry).  Please delete this
e-mail if you have no interest in hunting.

First up:


On Sunday November 2nd from 2 to 4 pm the Youth Garden Project and
WabiSabi will sponsor a closer look at Castle Valley Creamery, the
folks
behind the fabulous goat cheese sold at the Moab Farmers’ Market.
Erik
Secrist will be on hand to answer all your questions about goat
husbandry
and cheese-making. The entire afternoon will be spent at the
Creamery;
to
carpool from Moab, meet at YGP at 1:30 pm.  Cost is $5; please RSVP
to
YGP
at 259-BEAN (2326) or to [hidden email].


Second:


On Saturday November 8 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm Scott Anderson and
Trish
Hedin will lead a workshop on the basics of ethical hunting and
butchering.  Trish writes, “Fall is synonymous with hunting, a time
when
game is fattening up for winter and when locals are bringing in their
protein for the season ahead.  Local hunters and the Division of
Wildlife
Resources will introduce you to the basics of hunting and butchering.
During the workshop, you'll be acquainted to the game species of
Utah,
hunting privileges within the state and how to go about getting a
tag.
We
will introduce the various weapons that are used for hunting both
mammals
and birds, what weapons are appropriate, cost and an ethical range in
which to hunt game animals.  We will also bring in the basic concepts
of
game species that exist around Moab, their habitat, behavior patterns
and
what it takes to track a game animal.  Lastly (for those that aren't
ready
for the butchering aspect, they can leave at this junction) we'll
introduce butchering of game using a domesticated animal.  The entire
workshop will hinge on the concepts of ethical hunting (having a tag,
shooting at an appropriate range, tracking and hunting during
appropriate
conditions, and avoiding waste during butchering).  We believe that
hunting is a key component to providing a sustainable community in
correlation with providing healthy and sustainable game flocks and
herds.”
  The workshop will be held at YGP; please RSVP to YGP at 259-BEAN
(2326)
or to [hidden email] by November 1st to reserve a
spot.
A minimum of 8 people are needed for the workshop to be held; please
call
or email today if you are interested.


And then:


Join us Saturday November 15th at 11am, TreeUtah, the Youth Garden
Project and WabiSabi will sponsor a tree planting workshop.  Learn
the
basics of proper planting, pruning, selection and care for trees here
in Moab.  We will plant five trees of various sizes during the
workshop.  Lunch will be provided and this workshop is FREE!  To RSVP
for the tree planting, please call 259-2326.  A huge thanks to
TreeUtah
for providing the trees for this planting!


Finally:


There has been some interest expressed in a workshop on veganism.
Sara
Melnicoff writes that it was "for the animals [that], after 31 years
as
a
vegetarian, I took the extra step of going vegan about 5 years ago.
I
feel so much better physically, emotionally, and spiritually."  While
the
workshop series for 2008 is complete, if you are interested in
attending
(or teaching!) a workshop next year on eating vegan, please feel free
to let me know by
emailing [hidden email].


Thanks, everyone!  Enjoy your fall, and please do RSVP if you'd like
to
participate in either of the upcoming workshops.


Katie
