Management of algae, hydrilla and other aquatic vegetation is often necessary for even the healthiest of Florida's waterways. This vegetation, if not properly maintained, can lead to flooding during the rainy season. Improper management may also result in fish kills and decreased aesthetic & property values.

On August 7th, Ken Gioeli, Natural Resources Extension Agent with the University of Florida St Lucie County Extension, will be teaching a course designed to prepare students to successfully complete the Aquatic Weed Control Pesticide Licensing Exam. Several special topics will be addressed including

Aquatic Weed Identification
Equipment Calibration Calculations
Herbicide Selection
Environmental Safety

$15 registration fee. Pre-registration is required. Call (772) 462-1660 to pre-register. Pesticide licensing exam available after training.

When: August 7, 2008
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m..
Where: St Lucie County Extension -8400 Picos Road, Ste 101, Fort Pierce
