GEORGETOWN — The Sussex Conservation District and the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension will hold two free workshops on turfgrass and stormwater best management practices. John Emerson, turfgrass nutrient management extension agent at UDCE, will present turfgrass best management practices including the four R’s of fertilizer, integrated pest management, responsible water use and soil amendments on Friday, Oct. 8.

Jessica Watson, sediment and stormwater program manager at SCD, will cover stormwater facilities and maintenance on Thursday, Nov. 4. Both workshops will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m., via Zoom, registration is required to receive the event link.

The workshops are designed to provide technical resources to aid property owners, homeowner associations and property maintenance companies.

“Educating property owners inspires them to be better stewards of their land and shows them how their actions impact the neighborhood and watershed,”  Mr. Emerson said.

“We encourage communities and property owners to become informed so they can identify problems early, before they become costly to repair,” Ms. Watson said.

Delaware nutrient management credits are pending.

For more information or to register, visit online or call Siobhan Kelley, communications and outreach specialist at SCD, 302-856-2105 ext. 122.
