Residents in LaSalle Parish will have the opportunity to gain practical agricultural skills during an upcoming fencing workshop designed for both beginners and experienced landowners alike.

The workshop is set for Saturday, April 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at a property located on Baker Four Farm Road in Jena. Organizers say the event will focus on teaching participants how to properly build net wire fencing through a relaxed, hands-on learning environment.

Hosted in partnership with the Louisiana Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative and the LSU AgCenter, the workshop aims to support local farmers, ranchers, and landowners with practical knowledge that can be applied immediately on their properties.

Participants will not only learn fencing techniques but will also have the chance to network with others in the agricultural community. Organizers emphasize that no prior experience is necessary, making the event especially welcoming for newcomers interested in improving their land management skills.

The cost to attend is $20 per person, which includes lunch.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to register in advance through the Louisiana Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative’s website.

Local officials and agricultural leaders say events like this continue to strengthen LaSalle Parish’s farming community by providing accessible education and fostering collaboration among residents
