KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Sept 14, 2020 \u2013 Whether you want to learn about the health and beauty benefits of maple, the economic impact of solar energy on Rhode Island\u2019s open space, how to tell good bugs from bad ones in the garden, or how to become a community first responder to help prevent opioid overdose, the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Cooperative Extension<\/a> has something for you this fall.<\/p>\n

In addition to programs on keeping your garden producing through autumn, or putting it to bed in a way that will help maximize your success next season, Cooperative Extension will be offering webinars<\/a> on a variety of topics that will appeal to a wide range of interests. Webinars are offered each Tuesday at 7 p.m. through December. All sessions are free and open to the public. Advance registration is required.<\/p>\n

The transition from in-person to virtual sessions began in the spring when the spread of COVID-19 forced the cancellation of most public events, trainings and workshops. Cooperative Extension has presented more than 20 webinars to date on topics ranging from growing fruits and vegetables to lawn care, and from plant and animal science to how to use the outdoors as a classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are accustomed to bringing the science of the land grant university system to the people of Rhode Island through in-person programs, but the pandemic has hindered our ability to bring people together to learn. On the other hand, it has created an opportunity for our programming to be accessible to those without transportation or time to travel to us,\u201d said Kate Venturini, outreach programs administrator for 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension.<\/p>\n

Webinar events are held live, via Webex, and feature 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, staff and volunteers offering their expertise, followed by interactive question-and-answer sessions. The added benefit of the virtual format is that all events are available online for viewing at Cooperative Extension\u2019s official YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among the offerings this fall are:<\/p>\n
