The workshop will be held in State College, Pennsylvania beginning Monday, September 8 and ending Wednesday, September 10.

The workshop is modeled after a successful program in the southern region, hosted by North Carolina State University. The overall goal of the program is to demonstrate and provide participants with new interactive training presentations that they can then use for their own pesticide safety education programming. The Northeastern Pesticide Safety Education Center will provide training and materials that participants can immediately put to use in their own county or region. Hands-on training activities will be a major thrust of this training program.
