Bugs with Attitude: July 8-10th, 2009 Midvale, Utah
The Salt Lake County Weed Program is excited to offer a free teacher workshop aimed at Utah middle and high school teachers. "Bugs with Attitude" was developed by The Montana Biological Control and Insectary Training Program, also known as The Whitehall Project, and has been used successfully in Montana for the last 13 years. This workshop trains teachers in weed identification and management, with a focus on biological control agents, their collection, rearing, release, and monitoring. The three day workshop will include both time in the classroom, and in the field observing, collecting, and monitoring insects. The workshop will provide teachers with the tools and resources to start their own insectaries.
