More SDSU

Collaborators with the College are in Carmen Pampa to help us design a system of land restoration that will help farmers in the region make use of degraded land in their communities. Here are some more pictures from the visit.

Our visitors did workshops about land restoration and how to measure success. In this photo, our faculty, some students and visitors from South Dakota share lunch.




Here South Dakota State professor Dr. Neil Reese explains the fine points of plant pressing to our student Vicente Manrique as volunteer Kate interprets.




Dr. Tom Schumacher from South Dakota State University explains the importance of organic matter in a restoration demonstration in the field.




Karla Witt from Sisseton Wapehton College, volunteers Kate and Sam and the head of tourism Jose Luis took on some young men from Carmen Pampa in B-ball -- and won!
