Agrilife extension offers online rainwater harvesting course for livestock, wildlife
COLLEGE STATION — The Texas AgriLife Extension Service is offering three opportunities for small-acreage landholders to participate in an online course on rainwater collection for livestock and wildlife.
The four-lesson “Rainwater Harvesting for Livestock and Wildlife” course, which can be taken from anywhere there is reliable Internet access, is designed to be completed over a four-week period, according to Justin Mechell, the AgriLife Extension program specialist in College Station coordinating course offerings.
“Though we have made these four lessons to where they can be reasonably completed in the four-week time frame we have established, the course may be completed more quickly if desired,” he said. “If a participant is planning on using a dial-up Internet connections, that’s OK, but download times for course materials may be lengthy.”
