The links associated with the titles will open using the Internet browser on your computer or mobile device. There is a link at the bottom of this email message that allows you to "unsubscribe" from this email newsletter service. We take spam seriously and do not wish to add more clutter to your email inbox.

The workshop is being held three times this spring in a different region of the state. The workshops begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. and officially start at 9 a.m. and end by 4:00 p.m. or earlier. Participants can bring their own lunch, snacks and drinks, or can order a simple lunch at the door for $15 (cash only please). Classroom sessions, equipment demonstrations and field tours are all included in the program. Advanced registration is required because seating is limited.
