Chestnut Street, Lisbon, Ohio from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Under
Ohio law horses, ponies, llamas, and alpacas are defined as
livestock.
Like any other livestock owners, owners of these animals need to begin
making environmental, conservation, and natural resource issues a
priority. On average, one horse generates 8 tons of manure
per year.
Managers,
operators, or horse owners of even one horse interested in developing
and implementing practices that are economically viable,
environmentally friendly, and socially acceptable, should contact the
Columbiana SWCD at 330-332-8732 or toll free 1-877-345-1198.
The
registration fee for the program was $5.00 which included lunch,
refreshments, and program materials. Registration must be
received by
