UW Extension to Host Webinar Series on Managing Landscapes in Drought

Starting Thursday, June 11, the University of Wyoming Extension will host a free three-part webinar series focused on caring for gardens, trees and turf during drought. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, much of Wyoming is currently considered to be in moderate to extreme drought conditions. The new webinar series, featuring experts from UW Extension, Colorado State University and Utah State University, is designed to help Wyoming residents navigate the challenges of maintaining landscapes under hot, dry conditions with limited water resources. Webinars, presented via Zoom, will take place from  6-7 pm on June 11, 18 and 25. 

June 11 will be Setting Up Drip Irrigation for Drought-Resistant Landscapes and Gardens, presented by UW Extension State Small Acreage Horticulture Specialist Jeff Edwards, June 18 will focus on Managing Trees Through Drought, presented by Alison O’Connor, Professor of Horticulture for Colorado State University Extension and June 25 will be Managing Turf Through Drought, presented by Kelly Kopp, Utah State University Extension Water Conservation and Turf Grass Specialist.

Although the webinars are free and open to the public, registration is required. Registration can be completed here.
