Support the Chicken Apprenticeship

We are raising some funds to support our Chicken Apprenticeship Program on IOBY! The money will be used to purchase needed supplies and cover the cost of a chicken fieldtrip for the apprentices... AND there is a dollar for dollar match from the New York Restoration Project!
