St. Lucie Extension hosts course on best management practices for green industries on May 1
The UF-IFAS Extension St. Lucie County will offer a training session on best management practices for commercial landscapers, the general public, and municipal staff on Thursday, May 1 at 8:30 a.m.
This training is designed to educate anyone working in lawn maintenance, landscaping, pest control, or municipal land management on best management practices.
The goal of these best practices is to reduce nonpoint source pollution from fertilizer or pesticide application by implementing eco-friendly landscaping. This training also offers continuing education units (CEUs).
This workshop aims to provide the mandatory training and administer the required exam.
Once you have met the training requirements and passed the exam, you will receive a Best Management Practices certification card.
Upon receiving it, you may apply for your fertilizer license from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).
