<p class="MsoNormal">In response to COVID-19, Ohio State’s travel restrictions have been extended throughout 2020. Perhaps obviously, the likelihood of my travel to speak in person at any county pond clinics around the state throughout the rest of this year
is now extremely slim.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The couple of virtual pond clinics I did using Zoom this spring were quite successful. With attendees joining using a computer or smart phone from the comfort of their own homes, attendance at any of these clinics from anyplace is easily
possible (where travel from one corner of the state to another isn’t necessarily). I am pressing other county collaborators to consider doing similar and will keep you apprised as those efforts unfold.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime, do remember that you’re welcome to discuss your own pond-/lake-management issues in person, one-on-one, with me each Tuesday afternoon–evening. If interested, click here for details:
