Events and Activities : IRVM Hydro-seeder demonstration cancelled; may be rescheduled

The display of the Hydro seeder has been delayed again due to the weather; we may announce a rescheduled time later, at least 48 hours in advance of the event.

Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management (IRVM) committee is taking the opportunity to display their new Hydro seeder on the roadway at the Benton County Conservation Boards’ Nature Center at Rodgers Park. Anyone is welcome to attend and see this piece of equipment in use. The IRVM committee is also hopeful that landowners will welcome the re-planting of prairie in their ditches to help with habitat restoration. For more information on that topic please contact either Ann Jorgensen at 319-472-3903 or the county engineer Myron Praizek or www.uni.edu/irvm

When: 5:30 pm Thursday June 6 (rescheduled from last week, due to flooding)

What: Demonstration of the IRVM hydro-seeder at the Nature Center.
