NEW HAMPSHIRE NEWS 



Grants Available 



In the 1998 session of the New 

 Hampshire State Legislature, an in- 

 tegrated pest management (IPM) 

 program was created. It was the 

 desire of the legislature to promote 

 IPM and reduce reliance on pesti- 

 cides. The New Hampshire De- 

 partment of Agriculture, Markets, 

 and Food, the New Hampshire 

 Pesticide Control Board, and the 

 Division of Pesticide Control share 

 this interest and will be adminis- 

 tering this program. 



The program consists of small 

 grants that will be awarded to the 

 best project proposals. Examples of 

 projects that might fulfill the re- 

 quirements of a grant would include 

 IPM seminars, original IPM 

 projects, publication of outreach ma- 

 terials, etc. There are two deadlines 



for application submittal, which are 

 July 2, 1999, and October 1, 1999. 

 The purpose of this grant program 

 is to initiate interest from a wide 

 range of people, including home- 

 owners, schools, structural pest com- 

 panies, agricultural entities, etc. 



The Department has grant appli- 

 cations that can be obtained in two 

 ways: one is to call the Division of 

 Pesticide Control at 603-271-3550 

 and have information mailed to you; 

 the other is to download the appli- 

 cation from UNH's Cooperative Ex- 

 tension website at http://ceinfo.unh. 

 edu/IPMLinks.htm. 



Please contact Peter Paveglio at 

 the above number for more infor- 

 mation on this program. 



Bigger, Better. .. and Biennial 



The Mount Washington Valley 



Garden Trail, until now a yearly 

 event in which gardening enthusi- 

 asts could follow a clearly marked 

 map to view the entries in a gar- 

 dening competition covering the 

 entire mountain region, will not 

 take place this year. 



Instead, 1999 will be an time of 

 rethinking and restructuring. With 

 new energies and enthusiasm, the 

 Garden Trail promises to be back in 

 2000, bigger and better than ever. 



People interested in being part of 

 this biennial event should contact 

 Joan Sherman at 603-367-4764.
