Red Maple Farms, in cooperation with the King
County Conservation District, is working to provide a quality facility,
while protecting streams, managing manure, and providing habitat for
beneficial wildlife. By good stewardship of our resources, both horses and
the environment benefit.
What we are doing?
-
Monitoring the amounts of
bedding used and exploring alternative beddings to minimize the total
stall waste produced.
-
Implementing sound manure
disposal options to reduce the potentially harmful effects of runoff on
streams and ground water.
-
Created
a wildlife buffer area around 3/4 of the property which is also used as a
path for horse and human.
-
Continue to educate
ourselves to be better stewards of the land to enhance our property for
our customers, horses, neighborhood, and the environment.
-
