April 17, 2015 from 10:00 to 3:00 p.m. 3rd annual High Tunnel

workshop and high tunnel tour. The workshop was held at the Costilla

Public Health conference room and the high tunnel tour was done at the

Arnold Valdez farm.

Our 4th workshop is planned for the 2015 fall for harvest season P6210011 in September

or possibly October. The district was awarded a Natural Resouces grant

to support our 2015 planned workshops. These workshops are held in order to

educate local farmers/landowners who currently have, plan to add and who are

interested in High Tunnels and High Tunnel growing. NRCS currently has some

contracts with some of the farmers who applied for funds through the NRCS EQUIP

program and have applications submitted for approval. The Costilla Conservation

District with the Rio Culebra Cooperative and NRCS have collaborated in order to

educate anyone who is interested in learning about crop growing in High Tunnels also

known as Hoop Houses.

This event will take place on June 6-9, 2014 with RGWSCEI assisted by Trinchera

Ranch in hosting a 2 week event which educates teachers within the area on

conservation. This allows teachers involved in the event 3 credit hours for

attending. Teachers are taken to different locations during the education period of

the event to tour the surrounding areas.

November 10-14, 2013 in Loveland, CO. District board and staff who attended were

Harold Anderson-Board President, James Fischer-Board Secretary/Treasurer,

Chris Benton-DCT and Lydia Benton-Office/Business Manager.
