The S-130 and S-190 courses are required by most county, state, and federal natural resources agencies, so this is a great opportunity for aspiring natural resource professionals. Bring a lunch, water bottles and be prepared for hiking outdoors. We will still do all field activities in less-than-ideal weather. Students and aspiring natural resources professionals - you may use this training certificate to participate on McHenry County Conservation District prescribed burns without registering as a volunteer. Prerequisite: You must complete the online portion of the S-130 course prior to attending (about 20 hours). Directions are on the flyer/enrollment form below. To Sign Up: Fill out and return the enrollment form to Kathy Bott at kbott@illinois.edu by February 9th. Cost: $380 Information flyer and enrollment form
