National Wildlife Control Training Program
- Teacher: Kirsten Smith
- Teacher: Lynn Braband
- Teacher: Raj Smith
The National Wildlife Control Training Program is a self directed course designed for State licensing agencies and the National Wildlife Control Operators Association who will learn Fundamentals of wildlife control and Species specific control techniques. Teachers include: Raj Smith and Paul Curtis, Cornell University. Scott Hygnstrom and Stephen Vantassel, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. For information or to enroll contact raj.smith@cornell.edu.- After completing the Nevada Pesticide Applicator Safety Training course, learners will be prepared to take the Nevada Pesticide Applicator's Certification Exam.
Topics include general pesticide safety information, Nevada-specific laws, and integrated pest management information specific to Nevada. This is a self-directed course designed for workers seeking pesticide applicator certification. For more information contact Susan Donaldson, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, at donaldsons@unce.unr.edu. - This course consists of learning aids to help Homeowners, School Administrators, school staff and others understand the properties of Urban Integrated Pest Management. Learning interactions show homeowners how they can start using exclusion methods to prevent pests from entering their home.
Invasive Plant Early Detection and Rapid Response Training
- Teacher: Hilary Parkinson
- Teacher: Millie Veltkamp
Welcome to Invasive Plant Early Detection and Rapid Response Training. These courses are part of a state-wide effort to promote early detection and rapid response (EDRR) across the state of Montana and the region. The goal of EDRR is to recognize high priority plants and take actions to manage them while populations are still small, meaning they can be eradicated or controlled with much less cost financially and environmentally. In order to make EDRR work, you need to know how to identify plants you encounter in the field. Therefore, the first course in this 3-course series is an introduction to plant identification, covering essential plant anatomy terms to help you identify weeds. The second course describes diagnostic features of Montana’s Priority 1A-2A species, and the last course covers Montana’s Priority 2B-3 species. You must take the courses sequentially in the order presented and pass them with at least 70% before proceeding to the next course. You may retake a course as many times as necessary to advance.
