| Impact Report | Pesticide Safety The agent assisted the City of Roswell’s Spring River Zoo staff with their annual Pest Control Study Session and Continuing Education Workshop conducted in two separate sessions. The study session was designed to prepare individuals that did not currently hold a pesticide license for testing to obtain a public pesticide applicator license. The agent presented a program on “Basic Botany.” The Continuing Education Workshop was a refresher course for those already licensed with the New Mexico Department of Agriculture for pesticide application for pest control. The class enabled attendees to receive enough continuing education units to renew their public license. The agent presented a program on “Pesticide Safety”. Approximately 40 attendees gained knowledge of plant characteristics, basic identification, and safe pesticide storage and usage to enable them to be safer, more knowledgeable pesticide handlers. |
