In this two-day weekend workshop, you'll join a small class to receive hands-on training in effective crew leadership as well as basic ecological restoration tasks including basic planting, seeding, and erosion control techniques. Workshop topics are directly applicable to any nonprofit or agency restoration project! Please note this training includes a self-paced, online component prior to the workshop in order to maximize efficiency and on-the-ground coursework. The online course takes an estimated 5-6 hours to complete. Trainees must register for, and complete, both the online coursework and the field training day on September 16-17 to be certified as a Crew Leader for Ecological Restoration. This training costs $100. This training is free for all Weld County residents. Please email Ellen (ellen@voc.org) if you are a Weld County resident.
