DESCRIPTION:The public is welcome to view the entries between 11 am and noon\, on April 13\, 2019\, and to attend the awards ceremony which will follow the final tabulation of the judging scores.  \nGrayson LandCare has announced the Twelfth Annual Land Stewardship Competition. All students grades 8-12 enrolled in a school in Grayson County (Grayson County Schools\, Galax City Schools\, Oak Hill Academy) or who are residents of Grayson County and homeschooled are encouraged to participate. The Land Stewardship Fair will be held Saturday\, April 13\, 2019\, at Grayson Co. High School Cafeteria\, in Independence\, VA. \nAt the fair\, students will present their projects to the judges and cash prizes will be awarded to first ($1000)\, second ($500)\, and third place ($250) winners along with up to 5 commendation prizes of $50.

Any questions about the competition should be sent to Harriet Meinecke hhmeinecke@gmail.com. \nThe competition\, which is sponsored by Grayson LandCare and resembles a science fair\, encourages our local students to explore real economic\, environmental\, and social problems facing Grayson County and suggest innovative solutions that can really work in our local communities. Contestants are invited to think creatively about how we can be good stewards of our land and still meet the triple bottom line of sustainability―being economically successful\, protecting our environment\, and promoting community involvement and well-being. \nThe competition has grown tremendously since it began twelve years ago. Topics in past years have included such ideas as establishing a community garden\, raising honey bees for profit\, setting up a garden at the local nursing home\, organic poultry farms\, raising meat rabbits\, energy efficient homes\, programs to improve water quality in lakes and ponds\, recycling\, wind energy\, bird watching and tourism\, improving riparian buffers\, farmers markets\, a community coffee shop\, and many more. \nGrayson LandCare\, a non-profit organization\, welcomes financial support to help cover the cost of the competition (donations of any size are welcomed). Donations should be sent to Grayson LandCare\, PO Box 373\, Independence\, VA 24348.

SUMMARY:Film Series: Symbiotic Earth
DESCRIPTION:The First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward. \nFirst Fridays at 7:00 pm\, April through August at Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax. \nApril 5th\nSymbiotic Earth\n \nSymbiotic Earth explores the life and ideas of scientific rebel Lynn Margulis who challenged entrenched theories of male-dominated science. As a young scientist in the 1960s\, Margulis was ridiculed when she first proposed that symbiosis – when organisms live and work together — was a key driver of evolution\, but she persisted. Through numerous collaborations\, she caused a seismic shift in our understanding of life. \nMargulis’ symbiotic narrative presents an alternative to the destructive worldview that has led to climate change and extreme capitalism. With James Lovelock\, she developed the Gaia Theory that all life is interconnected and interdependent. Her vision offers bold insights into health\, society\, and nature\, and inspires creative approaches to our pressing environmental and social crises. \n

SUMMARY:Opioid Analgesics: Pain and Abuse
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Linda Dykstra\, Kenan Professor Emeritus in Psychology and Neuroscience\, University of North Carolina (UNC) @ Chapel Hill will give a presentation titled: Opioid Analgesics: Pain and Abuse. Linda and her husband\, Bill Hylander\, became members of Grayson Landcare upon retiring to Grayson County where they own a farm in the Spring Valley community. \nLinda received her PhD from the University of Chicago in 1972 and moved to North Carolina the following year to accept a position at UNC. During her 40+ years at UNC\, Linda’s research interests focused on the behavioral pharmacology of opioid analgesics and the relationship between their analgesic effects and their abuse potential\, in particular\, their tendency to produce tolerance and dependence. At UNC\, Linda also taught courses in Drugs and Human Behavior and directed a training grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse that provided predoctoral training in research on drug abuse. She also served as the Dean of the Graduate School\, overseeing UNC’s numerous masters and doctoral programs. Although she is officially retired from UNC\, she continues to serve as co-director for a postdoctoral training program at UNC and to team teach a course in Behavioral Pharmacology offered jointly between UNC and the Wake Forest School of Medicine. \nAlthough we are well aware of the opioid epidemic and its devastating consequences at both local and national levels\, we often lack basic knowledge of the drugs within the opioid class. Within this extensive class of drugs are opioids that have legitimate clinical applications\, however\, there are others which are responsible for the current opioid epidemic and yet others which can provide effective treatments for “opioid use disorder”. This presentation will provide background information about the opioids\, their analgesic effects\, their unique pharmacological profiles as well as their tendency to produce tolerance and dependence and lead to abuse. The presentation will also discuss current initiatives to reduce opioid abuse as well as some of the interventions available for individuals seeking treatment for “opioid use disorder (OUD).”

SUMMARY:The Community Food Forest Handbook
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Bukowski is a researcher\, author\, educator\, and communicator. She is currently wrapping up her Ph.D. at the College of Natural Resources and the Environment at Virginia Tech\, where she co-taught an agroforestry and whole-farm-planning course that incorporated permaculture principles. She studied with Dave Jacke on food forest design\, has a certificate in Collaborative Community Leadership\, and is a trained facilitator. \n\nCatherine previously co-coordinated a forest farming virtual community for the online Cooperative Extension network and now sits on the Board of Directors for the Association of Temperate Agroforestry. She has worked internationally in community development and agroforestry as a researcher in Costa Rica\, Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras and program manager for Trees for the Future. Her latest accomplishment is the publication of The Community Food Forest Handbook: How to Plan\, Organize\, and Nurture Edible Gathering Places which can be purchased in advance of its July 2018 publication at www.communityfoodforests.com/handbook\nFueled by the popularity of permaculture\, agroecology\, and agroforestry- community food forests are capturing the imaginations of people in neighborhoods\, towns\, and cities across the United States. Along with community gardens and farmers markets\, community food forests can help create access to nutritious fresh food and promote environmental sustainability. But perhaps their most important outcome is the educational opportunities they provide in the process. They are interactive learning grounds focused on food- and eco-literacy as well as civic engagement for creating change in local food systems and urban green infrastructure. While interest in installing community food forests in public spaces is on the rise\, the best ways to organize and lead groups of people to successfully create a food forest project has received little attention—and that is the focus of The Community Food Forest Handbook! \nJoin us November 19th for a presentation about the book and book signing.

SUMMARY:First Friday Film Series: Inhabit A Permaculture Perspective

For those familiar\, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what’s possible – what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar\, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone\, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces. \nThe First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward.  Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax.
