Thurston County is teaming up with Oregon Tilth to bring the Organic Land Care Accreditation Training to Olympia, November 4-8. This five day training will provide professionals with everything they need to know to care for yards, lawns, parks, and other public and private grounds without the use of toxic weed and bug killers.
The training cost is $550 for the entire week and includes locally catered, organic lunches. Landscapers who complete the training and pass the exam will be eligible for Organic Land Care accreditation through Oregon Tilth.
Thurston County will include accredited professionals on their web site and provide ongoing networking opportunities for local practitioners. Register at www.tilth.org or contact Jennifer Johnson at (360) 867-2577, or at johnsoj@co.thurston.wa.us for more information.
