North Island Agrologist Thom ODell
April 3 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Event by Hornby Island Farmland Trust Society
1765 Sollans Road, V0R1Z0
Duration: 2 hr
The role of an agrologist is to help farmers become more economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
Our local north island agrologist, Thom O’Dell, is extremely knowledgable and experienced. Besides earning a Ph.D. in Botany and Plant Pathology he has had decades of experience as a grower having done everything from micropropagation to starting orchards. In addition to working for the Ministry of Agriculture & Food, he also owns Nature Tech Nursery in Merville where he propagates, grows and does research on nut trees and other perennial food producing plants. Bring all your questions! Thom may also have time to do a few site visits while he is here
