Hello Wild Side Readers,
If you are new to this blog, I share information on Ohio’s wildlife, but as an educator, I also create posts related to education events I present at. Recently, I presented at the 2024 Ohio Turf Foundation and Green Industry Short Course annual conference. I presented two topics – one was titled, ‘Groundhogs and Other Ground Squirrels in the Landscape,’ and the other ‘General Wildlife Problems in the Landscape’. Below are the slide sets for both presentations, as well as additional information that I referenced during my presentations.
I hope these resources are helpful, and if you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me (my contact info is at the end of each slide set). Enjoy!
