| CCI BRANCH Field Day July 17 - Its a Weed Pull! Looking for Volunteers....Reply by June 14th Cariboo Central Interior |
BCIA CCI Branch: Professional Development field day!
Well, it’s a weed pull . . . but before you get too disenchanted, this is no ordinary event . . .
I’m looking for a group of volunteers to join myself and Shirley Hamblin on July 17th to target and pull field scabious along the beautiful Buck Creek corridor (south of Houston). Sounds good doesn’t it? And if a day in the sun along the waterway isn’t enough, we’re planning on a BBQ and beverage service afterwards to reward everyone’s efforts. Last year’s event was funded by the Northwest Invasive Plant Council (NWIPC), and I’m fairly positive we’ll manage to get a few hundred dollars again this year to cover gas, food and drink.
This is a chance to get out in the field, connect with fellow agrologists and earn some PD hours all at the same time! All you have to do is commit one day to getting your hands dirty.
If you are interested in this event, please reply to Ryan.Holmes@gov.bc.ca by June 14. I will need to develop the proposal for NWIPC with the appropriate numbers. Thanks all, and enjoy your spring ;)
