John Sandford, Weed Coordinator, and Kirsten
Boyle, Student Trainee - Weeds Specialist, attended the WHE Summer
Class in August, 2004. Both are BLM employees from the Butte Field Office which
has worked with the Whitehall project for several years. Over two days
they were immersed in biological control - learning more about life cycles,
collection, releasing, monitoring, and mapping. Other interesting
topics were building insectories and classroom outreach.
