The Office of Campus Sustainability and Center for Community Health and Well-being invite you to take a "crash course" in chicken keeping. Learn about breeds and care as well as coop design and county legislation – you'll get enough info to know if keeping chickens is right for you. Plus, you'll learn the next steps to having your own flock!

RSVP at Sustainably Flourishing: Summer Brown Bags.
