Aerator Workshop |
|
Every summer we offer local educators
the chance to earn 1 PTSB credit by attending a two day workshop geared towards
natural resources and outdoor education. We strive to bring in
professionals from several areas of instruction and to provide for a
great time! Last year we learned about Forest Fire Ecology, Nature
Journaling, Water Quality, Sheep Ranching, and Project WILD.
Please plan to attend, and give us your ideas! |
This is a continuously offered workshop for those wishing to rent the Lawson Aerator, and is mandatory before renting. The workshop may be with a group of those interested or a one on one presentation and covers the operation and maintenance of the Aerator. To learn more about the Aerator, click here. To schedule a workshop, or to talk to us about renting the aerator, please call us at (307) 787-3794 X4. |

Septic Workshop |
|
 Jeff Lewis discussing K line irrigation at the Irrigation Technology Workshop |
| On March 27th we provided a workshop addressing Fecal Coliform and E. coli in the Blacks Fork and Smiths Fork rivers (presented by Doug Miyamoto, Watershed Coordinator, Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts), and septic system information (presented by Don Ezola, the then Uinta County Compliance Officer) to address the issue of faulty septic systems contaminating local waters. This was followed up with a cost share septic system remediation program offered to local landowners that qualified and wanted to participate. Find out more about this program! | ||
Garden Workshop |
|
Irrigation Technology Workshop |
| As a part of Soil and Water Stewardship Week, UCCD put on a gardeners workshop in May of 2006. We invited Barb Martinez (Master Gardener, Evanston) and Chris Aimone (Wyoming Weed and Pest, District Supervisor) to discuss gardening techniques, native plants, noxious weeds, soil preparation, tree care, and fertilizers and pesticides. We would love to continue to offer this workshop if enough people are interested, so please email us if you would like to see this workshop offered again! | The Uinta County Conservation District and the Blacks Fork/ Smiths Fork Water Quality Steering Committee hosted an Irrigation Technology Workshop on Feb 21st 2007. Jeff Lewis with NRCS discussed new technologies in irrigation with the potential to enhance operation and improve local water quality. Bo Bowman with the Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural Land Trust discussed Conservation Easements, tax assistance and estate planning. Thank you for attending! | |
