* All Extension faculty are invited to attend the forest health workshop
to be held on May 23, in conjunction with the Arizona Agriculture
Extension Association meeting. You do not have to be a AAEA member to
attend this workshop. Arizona Cooperative Extension, in cooperation with
the School of Renewable Natural Resources, received a contract with USFS
in forest health. The field trip will be led by entomologists and plant
pathologists from USFS, Flagstaff. Come and learn how to keep our forests
healthy --- and how to keep them from burning this summer. Please RSVP to:
Doug Rautenkranz, Interim Forest Health Coordinator,
rautenkr@email.arizona.edu.
* "RangeView" Remote Sensing Training -- May 28, 2002 - Tucson
(Biosciences East instructional lab). The training will introduce remote
sensing and the use of satellite imagery, primarily for natural resource
applications (for you more Ag-focused agents, a specially tailored
training for agriculture applications will be scheduled for late summer,
but this May 28 training would be an excellent introduction). Contact
Barron Orr for details, barron@cals.arizona.edu.
* The State Ag Literacy Committee will pay the $50 registration fee for
state educators to attend three popular workshops: Food, Land, People;
Project Learning Tree; and Project Wet. June 26-27 at the Maricopa County
Extension office. Contact Vic Jimenez (vjimenez@cals.arizona.edu) or Monica
Pastor (mpastor@cals.arizona.edu) for details.
* Deadlines for proposals to Deborah Young: Program proposals - May 15;
Working Group proposals - June 1.
