We are excited to offer the third annual ART Train-the-Trainer Course on October 25, 2024. In this course, participants will learn how to organize and conduct an Agriculture Rescue Training Event of their own. Participants will walk through presentations, materials and content, and each of the workshops with the ART trainers at the farm location. The Train-the-Trainer Course is separate from the Friday evening presentations and Saturday workshop components of the Agriculture Rescue Training Event. Attendance is limited to 20 participants.
