Anyone working on the cranberry bogs (bogs that have been treated within 30 days) that does not have a MA Pesticide Certification needs to have worker protection training each year.  This will be a handler training and will allow workers to help apply general use pesticide and apply Roundup (glyphosate) or spot treat with Intensity or Stinger.  Krystal DeMoranville will be running hybrid trainings in the AD Makepeace room here at the Station; you can choose to join by Zoom or in-person.  This training can be done with each person on a smartphone or computer, or in a group setting around a screen.  Paperwork will be completed to cover EPA WPS requirements.
