Rural Living Workshops

NCCD participated in the 2009-2010 Rural Living Workshops, attended by more than 200 Natrona County residents. The no-cost work shops, sponsored by the Rural Living Team, featured topics such as weed identification and control, irrigation management, Pine Bark beetle recognition and control, subdivision issues, wind breaks, and solar energy.
