Registration password: nursery20
Please join us for presentations on pest management topics from our two nursery agents Tim Waller and Bill Errickson, Spotted Lanternfly updates from Steve Rettke, and water related updates from Sal Mangiafico. Given the current state of in-person meetings we are aiming to make this as educational and painless as possible. We would like everyone to feel comfortable with this online format for future meetings. We plan to have a longer meeting in late September (+2hr) to hear from more nursery specialists and provide another opportunity to obtain pesticide credits.
