- Please email Karla (kherzma2@illinois.edu) a copy of your license
- If you attended the herbicide training with Extension in January, Extension has your certification, and you can apply herbicide with the guidance of a licensed individual.
- Participants who wish to use an electric or gas-powered device can only do so using their own equipment and having a signed waiver. All liability is held by the individual.
The Nature Conservancy requires a signed Waiver of Liability to work on site. After registration, you will be emailed a waiver form. We recommend completing the waiver immediately and sending it to kherzma2@illinois.edu. You can also bring your waiver to the workday. Waivers will be available and accepted the morning of the event, but working in the grove will not be permitted without one! *If you have a current waiver that is less than a year old, you do not need to sign a new one.
