Small Acreage Management Volunteer Program
Now Accepting Applications for 2010
Small acreage properties (greater than 1 acre) are numerous in Boulder County.  These property owners are in need of information related to pasture and weed management, fire mitigation and other issues.  Each year the Boulder County Extension office offers training to prepare volunteers to field phone calls from small acreage owners that provide options for pasture/grazing management, identify weeds and weed management.  Volunteers also write articles for the small acreage newsletter, assist with the crops show at the county fair and other projects.

The Small Acreage Management (SAM) volunteer program is accepting applications for the March 2010 training.  Please visit: http://www.extension.colostate.edu/boulder/AG/smallacreage.shtml for a detailed brochure on the program and an application.  Application deadline is February 12, 2010.
