The Longleaf Alliance’s Longleaf Academy Courses offered in 2013
The LLA is currently offering 2 different courses for the first part of 2013. We are working on additional courses for the second half of 2013. Keep checking our website as new courses are added (www.longleafalliance.org).
Who should attend? Federal and state agency personnel, nursery reps, private landowners, and private natural resource professionals such as consultants, industry employees, TIMO’s, REIT’s, and NGO’s throughout the longleaf natural range.
The Longleaf 101 course is an in-depth classroom and field instruction in “all things longleaf”. The intent is to better prepare natural resource professionals to address management issues specific to longleaf forests.
The Herbicides and Longleaf 201 course will help you select herbicides for ecological restoration: rates, timing, active ingredients, and application methods that target weed species while minimizing impact to desired species and families. Additional topics include: calibration, equipment, safety, invasive species control, surfactants and adjuvants, minimizing damage to longleaf pine, and case studies.
