Scientists, engineers, and technicians employed in the water resources arena will convene at Granlibakken
Conference Center in Tahoe City, Calif., for training in snow sampling, avalanche recognition, outdoor
survival, and emergency care. The class takes place the week of January 11-16, 2009.
Those interested in establishing or improving wildlife habitat on farm or ranchland are invited to apply for
help through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service. The new sign up period for the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program runs through Friday, January 23, 2009.
For more than 70 years, NRCS has
delivered conservation assistance to farmers, ranchers and other landowners. Now they are taking
"conservation delivery" to a whole new level using kiosks in business locations
and mobile field offices that can drive the full range of technical services
right up to a customer’s farm or ranch. The kiosk and a fully equipped mobile office are on display this
week at the annual conference of California's Association of
Resource Conservation Districts (CARCD) and
Resource Conservation and Development
(RC&D) Councils at the Riverside Convention Center.
