When
Local, regional, and national experts will share their knowledge with YOU. The primary purpose of this regional 3-day Short Course is to explore the ecology and management of noxious, invasive weeds that threaten economic and ecologic interests of the southwestern U.S. The course is broken into 2 tracks – beginning (i.e., Track 1), for those wanting to learn about the various species of interest and basic management options invasive plants, and advanced (i.e., Track 2), for those interested in going beyond plant ID and basic management principles. Although the short course is presented in 2 tracks you will be free to tailor your attendance in a way that best fits your needs. This year (2021) we will once again be offering the course completely on-line (via ZOOM). You will still be getting the same information you have in previous in-person short courses from local, regional, and national experts -- the main difference is that there will unfortunately be no field trip to Durango, CO and no meals or snacks will be provided. Instead, the classroom portion of the short course will be presented via zoom during 3, half-day sessions, July 20, 21, and 22, 2021 (see draft agenda below -- NOTE THAT ALL TIMES ARE MOUNTAIN TIME!!). Note that next year (2022), we fully intend to be back in Farmington, NM to offer the Short Course, live and in-person! This year's agenda will be submitted to the Arizona and New Mexico Departments of Agriculture for CEU evaluation (pending). Please check back here periodically for updates on the actual CEUs that you can earn. We hope to know more about CEUs by the first week in July.
