A Note From The Oldham County Conservation District
We have moved to a great new office location: 1002 Buckner Center, Suite 4 (next to OCHS practice soccer field). This space in the heart of Buckner offers room outside for public events and is much easier to find!
Reminder…the Conservation District has several year-round programs such as vouchers for free soil testing, cost-sharing programs for land management, pollinator habitat installation, and free composting bins. Call (502) 222-5123 or email oldhamswcd@gmail.com for more information.
Private Pesticide Applicator Training/Certification
March 23 at 9:00 a.m. is the next online opportunity to get your Private Applicator Certification renewed. Email traci.missun@uky.edu to get the meeting link and password. In-person, individual appointments are available for those who cannot complete recertification online. Those needing a Private Pesticide Applicator license who have never been certified before can complete required training online: entomology.ca.uky.edu/content/psep-covid-19-private-applicator-training-plan
