Ground Squirrel & Gopher Management, San Martin - 12/6/18
This workshop covered ground squirrel and gopher management, particularly for agriculture and public lands. The day included lectures as well as hands-on activities and live demonstrations of effective technologies. We discussed the range of management options, regulatory requirements, and how to develop an IPM plan with different control methods for different spaces.
Thank you to all our partners who helped make this workshop such a success, but especially IGI and the County of Santa Clara.
