Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the BFCC Agrivoltaics Project!
We invite the community to join us for the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating our new Agrivoltaics Project!
Wednesday, August 19, 2026
11:00 AM
BFCC Agriculture Building (East Campus)
This new 21.42 kW-DC / 17.3 kW-AC solar energy system will support our Forest Food Site while demonstrating how renewable energy can work alongside agriculture, water conservation, and sustainable land management.
The project was thoughtfully designed to minimize disturbance to the site while creating opportunities for education, hands-on learning, pollinator habitat, improved water efficiency, and healthier soils. The solar panels can also provide a cooler microclimate beneath the system, supporting both the site and solar energy production.
Join us for speeches and the ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00 a.m., followed by lunch at the gray building east of the Garden.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this exciting step toward renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and hands-on learning at BFCC!
