Statewide Lawn Care in-service for CCE Community Horticulture
Monday July 21st (10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) Hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County
This in-service will provide an opportunity for CCE educators working in community horticulture to build their confidence and skill in helping lawn owners implement ecological lawn care practices.
Come with your lawn care questions and be prepared to practice identifying grasses, weeds and diseases as well as trouble shooting issues in the field. Cornell turf team experts Dr. Frank Rossi will be leading this in-service.
We will begin at 10am at CCE Rensselaer, 61 State Street, Troy, NY and take a field trip to nearby lawns in the afternoon. We will end about 3:00 pm.
Registration fee: $25 includes lunch and materials.
Homework
Identify the hot lawn care topics and issues in your county. Bring your clients’ most challenging/frequently asked lawn care questions and issues. We want to share these with the turf team to identify potential solutions and fuel future educational and research efforts.
