SILTFest Fairfield, on Friday, September 17, 6-9 p.m., is a free event for area residents who are interested in actively supporting the Sustainable Iowa Land Trust, whose mission is to permanently protect land to grow healthy food.

Speakers will include SILT Executive Director Suzan Erem, SILT Board President Stuart Valentine, and landowners Sara and Jim Anderson.
