Core Pesticide Training
Join us for a comprehensive pesticide training designed for growers who either possess or require a pesticide applicator's license. Attendees with a valid license will earn three recertification credits upon completion of this three-hour training. For those without a pesticide applicator's license, a core exam will be administered immediately following the training. Please ensure you have a valid ID to participate in the exam.
This training session is free of charge, and punctuality is crucial. The training will commence promptly at 8:00 a.m., so please be on time. To secure your spot, kindly register by contacting Randy Martin at 207-551-3687 or centralaroostookswcd@gmail.com. Hurry, as there is a limit of thirty attendees for each session.
In the event that we exceed the initial thirty registrations, a second training session will be offered on the following Friday, April 12th, at the same time and location. If the first training reaches capacity, you will be given the option to attend the subsequent session. Your commitment to responsible pesticide application is vital, and we look forward to your participation.
