    Stress has many causes and is a serious problem for those involved in agriculture. Unfortunately many folks try to deal with this quietly, showing a stiff upper lip, and by themselves – not the healthiest route to take. Join us in learning more about how to identify stressors, understanding ways to help yourself, and equally important, how to identify signs so you may be able to help your friends and colleagues.

    This FREE one day “CT Ag Wellness Summit: Helping You to Help Others” is for farmers, producers, and ag service providers. Attached is the flyer and registration information. This important summit is a collaboration between the UConn Dept. of Extension and Dept. of Plant Science & LA, CT Department of Agriculture, CT Farm Bureau, Farm Credit East, CT Veterinary Medical Association, Tufts Veterinary Medical Center, CT NOFA, USDA-Risk Management Agency and CT Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services.

    Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 2:00pm
    Room 130, UConn Biology/Physics Building
    91 North Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06269

    Join us for a very special Saturday presentation by Dr. Robert Thorson on the natural history of UConn!

    In his recent UConn Magazine feature, Dr. Thorson tells the story of the pre-agricultural origins of the UConn campus. Thorson takes the long view in "The Shape of Storrs,” making a direct link between our emotional attachment to the scenery of Horsebarn Hill, the physical layout of campus, Dairy Bar ice cream, and the special soil that made the 1698 Storrs Family farm successful enough to outlast others. In this unique public talk, he will share the fascinating story that explains why Charles and Augustus Storrs would ultimately have the opportunity to donate their land for an agricultural school in 1881.

    Robert Thorson is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at UConn, where his work supports many departments, including Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Anthropology, and the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History. Beyond campus and the classroom, he is also a prolific author and columnist, author of Stone by Stone: The Magnificent History in New England's Stone Walls, Beyond Walden: The Hidden History of America's Kettle Lakes and Ponds, The Boatman: Henry David Thoreau’s River Years and other well-known books.

    Post-Talk Reception
    3:00-4:30pm in the Biology/Physics Lobby

    Following the presentation, please plan to stay for a free public reception hosted by the Museum with the Institute of the Environment at UConn. Continue the conversation with other attendees and have a chance to meet Dr. Thorson over light refreshments. He will also have a special display of objects to accompany the story—from local gneiss bedrock to our present-day hill!
