Dear Mike and Brian,

As the Ohio SARE coordinators, could you help spread the word on this SARE funded training course? On May 23, the Xerces Society will be offering its one-day course in Ohio on promoting conservation biocontrol on farms. Xerces had funding through NCR-SARE to offer this course in all the North Central states. The course is coming up quickly, and I'd really appreciate your help on promotion. This course is geared specifically for farmers and those that work closely with farmers to provide a solid base of knowledge and practices to promote beneficial insects on farms. I'll be instructing the course, and I look forward to bringing this topic to Ohio farmers!

Also, would you be interested in having some SARE publications available at the course? I often mention many of the great SARE pubs during the course. If this is a possibility, let me know and we can figure the details out.

Course details can be found below and at the registration link.
