Hi there - I have a four acre farm and would like to convert a portion of land ( about an acre) from active ag to meadow land. I was hoping there might be an informative resource to help me incorporate and bolster our native species, and perhaps recommendations on how to responsibly maintain the area as we are close to several watersheds. Any and all insights are appreciated - thank you!
