[TheUWfarm] farm interships, courses etc

Hello Farmers,

On the heels of Devon's announcement I'd also like to let you know that
there are lots of upcoming learning opportunities at the farm:
1. *Farm Lunch seminar - Bio 486;Envir 450* will be offered this spring
- 1 credit Tuesdays 12:30 -1:20
2. *The Urban Farm - Bio 240* will also be offered - 3 credits T/Th -
2:30-3:50
However - for some reason neither of these are up on the course list yet
- if you are interested please keep checking for them - we'll let you
know through the list serve when they are open for enrollment!

3. *The Farm Intership - Bio 399 *- Now is the time to apply for a farm
internship - 3 credits of independent study/work on the farm - see the
attached announcement for details if you are interested in applying!

4. *THE DIRTY DOZEN - spring 2010 -* Time to get involved. The dirty
dozen is a group of 12 or so folks who plan the to-do list on the farm
and help keep it running through volunteer labor. It is a 3 hour /week
commitment -1 hour at 7:30 Monday mornings for farm breakfast, and 2
other hours at a time that is convenient for you. Interested? Please
send me an e-mail explaining your interest. Please let me know if you
are interested by Feb 28th. Preference will be given to students who
are new to the farm. If you have been wishing for a way to get more
involved with the farm this is your opportunity!

Thanks everyone.

Beth

AND YOU?

There's a child in me
that delights
in butterfly wings,
stained glass windows,
blue-green bottles
and sun - through things.
