How to participate
The webinar is free, but pre-registration is required.
Can’t make it on August 16th? No problem! Please register anyway for access to the recording. You do not need to request the recording – all registrants will automatically receive a link to the recording by email several days after the webinar.
This webinar will be held via Zoom. Connection instructions will be provided upon registration.
Important: Many participants are becoming frustrated about not receiving the registration confirmation, access instructions, and recording information emails and finding later that those emails were in their spam folders. This is especially a problem if you have a gmail account. If you do not see these emails, you need to check your spam folder.
This webinar was made possible in part by funding from King Conservation District.
