While the event is designed for landowners and land managers who have playas on their land, it is also open to individuals who are interested in learning more about this unique natural resource and how playas can help provide clean water for communities.

Participants will learn about how to manage their playas as part of a profitable operation, playa management considerations, and playa conservation programs that can help your bottom line, including the USDA CRP Migratory Birds, Butterflies and Pollinators SAFE program, which is available to landowners in western Kansas and the Oklahoma panhandle. There will also be opportunities to hear directly from landowners and producers about their experiences managing playas and have discussions with agency staff about the pros and cons of various playa conservation programs.
