There is a non-toxic solution.   Read the full article and get your Free subscription at Vermonthomegardener.com   Vermont Fish & Wildlife Community Wildlife Programs online.   The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department Community Wildlife Program is proud to announce the schedule for our Fall educational series of webinars and trainings. This year we've got five new topics planned and will be offering several sessions of each. Look at our schedule and register<https://anr.vermont.gov/content/trainings>.   Webinars:   1) Seeing Beyond Boundaries: Understanding Your Land At Different Scales,  2)  Woods, Waters & Wildlife putting the pieces together,  3)  Enhancing your Backyard, Back Forty & Beyond,  4) Wildlife Road Crossings, and  5) Updating your town plan for Act 171. Trainings: In addition to our webinar series, we're also offering two trainings online this fall, NR1 Vermont's Ecology and Environment; An Introduction to Town Planning for Natural Resources. and NR2 Caring for Natural Resources: Taking Action in Your Community that offer a more in-depth look at this material with exciting hands-on activities and short presentations. Each training involves attending three live sessions (held online) and do a bit of homework between sessions to explore additional tools. This year, thanks to inspiration from a VPA webinar, we've put the course out on a MIRO whiteboard, so we'll be able to interact with the content in a shared space. We'll be able to map out concepts and see how they're interrelated and it gives us a platform to use anything from video and maps to other websites, pdfs and more. The training is a combination of short presentations, hands-on activities and role playing as well as exploring a few web tools (like BioFinder).
