Horse and livestock owners can learn how to prepare for rain, cold, snow and long winter nights at four free workshops sponsored by the King Conservation District.

Beginning Oct. 14, the district will offer free, hands-on workshops on eco-friendly livestock management

practices focusing on winter preparations. Each workshop runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and will be held at the Woodinville Water District offices. More info: 425-282-1904, paul.borne@kingcd.org, or www.kingcd.org
