Kirsten Conrad, the local area’s Agricultural Natural Resource Extension Agent, will lead a discussion for participants to learn how to manage and control “garden critters” affecting vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and lawns. She will look at some of the science-based advice offered in the 2022 “Pest Management Guide: Home Grounds and Animals” published by the Virginia Cooperative Extension (download for free at https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/456/456-018/456-018.html). The program is free. To register, see the Website at https://mgnv.org/rsvp-for-public-education-classes/.
