2015 Workshops
Costilla Conservation District & Rio Culebra Coop. "High Tunnel" Workshop
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 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.

Teachers Workshop
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.
