PMC Happenings

To Top or Not to Top

On March 22, twelve people participated in the Pruning Workshop hosted at the BPMC. Although the weather and snowfall during the previous night kept a few people who had registered from attending, the afternoon hands-on pruning portion on the Center’s trees and shrubs went very well. Attendees were from Red Lodge, Joliet, Bridger, Billings, Columbus, and Mammoth Hot Springs; and they learned how to make proper cuts, tree anatomy, when to prune, etc.. Plans are for annual spring workshops to be held at the BPMC, covering an assortment of agronomic or horticulture topics that we see a training need for, so please “stay tuned” for future announcements!

Mark Your Calendars!

The Bridger PMC will host their biennial Field Day beginning at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 18th. Participants will have an excellent opportunity throughout the day to take part in different tours focusing on foundation seed production, seed processing and cleaning equipment, weed control, horticulture plantings, technology development, ongoing research studies, and cooperative and future projects. Lunch will be provided with an RSVP no later than June 11. See the attachment to this newsletter for more information.
