  Donna The Buffalo is not just a band, rather one might say that Donna The Buffalo has become a lifestyle for its members and audiences. Since 1989, the roots rockers have played thousands of shows and countless festivals including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride, Austin City Limits Festival, Merle Fest, and Philadelphia Folk Festival.
  They’ve opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Jim Lauderdale, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth to name a few. They also toured with Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen to help raise awareness about increased corporate spending in politics.
  In 1991, the band started the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY. The four day festival has become an annual destination for over 15,000 music lovers every year and was started as an AIDS benefit. It continues as a benefit for arts and education. To date, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now one of three Grassroots Festivals; the Bi-annual Shakori Hills fest in North Carolina and Virginia Key festival in Florida. In 2016 GrassRoots Culture Camp was introduced in Trumansburg, New York as four days of music, art, dance and movement workshops, including nightly dinners and dances.

  Forests, Farms, and Floods: Agroforestry and Water in Tompkins County

  Newfield Public Library, 198 Main St, Newfield, NY 14867, USA

  Join Harry Greene of Propagate for a presentation and discussion about forests, farms, and floods. How can we grow good food while reducing flood risk? Yards, farms, pastures, and roads all affect the creeks and lakes downstream. Every few years, Tompkins County experiences extreme rain and flash flooding, and almost every year we’re faced with challenging water quality in Cayuga Lake. Can the landscapes that grow our food also catch runoff and slow stormwater? Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and farming. It scales up to production agriculture, and it scales down to our backyards. Trees hold onto soil and absorb intense rains, but are they profitable for farms and society?
