I am happy to announce that Celestine Duncan
from Helena, MT will be joining us in Custer County on Wednesday,
May 30, 2012 to teach a Weed Identification & Control Course (see
attached flyer for additional information). Celestine brings with her a large
variety of live plants (weeds) that she grows in her greenhouses in Montana.
This provides a great, hands-on learning environment for those in attendance.
Besides weed identification, Celestine will be covering
integrated weed management, new herbicides on the market, important
considerations for herbicide application, and sprayer calibration.
The class will be held at the Y Inn Dining Room
from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Lunch will be served. 4
re-certification credits have been applied for. Cost of the workshop is
$20/person. This fee includes lunch and all course materials.
This is a great opportunity and not one that comes along
every year! I hope you will consider attending and taking full advantage of
Celestine’s weed & plant knowledge!!
Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested!
You do not have to be a “weed sprayer” to attend!
