Please make plans to attend the Nevada Woody Biomass Collaborative’s teleconference/meeting on Thursday, September 2, 2010, from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. We will be meeting in Ely, Las Vegas and Carson City at UNR’s Cooperative Extension Offices (addresses below). We will be fortunate to have the USFS’s leading authority on the Fuel’s For Schools program, Dave Atkins, from Missoula, Montana, in person in Carson City. Dave will explain the program, how it worked (and, cases points, where it didn’t). Nevada has only one such program still operating and needs more to make use of locally-sourced woody biomass.
Dusty Moller will be in Carson City, giving a review of woody biomass happenings over the past months as well as previewing the upcoming Pinyon/Juniper Summit that’s slated for December in Ely, Nevada. We’ll be getting updates from Nevada Department of Forestry, BLM and USFS attendees and the rest of our utilization partners. So, mark your calendars, post your Facebooks and Blackberries or chalk mark your sundial, Tweet—whatever it takes to get you to one of these Coop Extension locations, on time, on Thursday, September 2, from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M.:
Ely: 996 Compton Street
Carson City: 2621 Northgate Lane
Las Vegas: 8050 S Maryland Parkway (@ Windmill Lane exit on the 215)
