Reporting Master Gardener Hours

All master gardener trainees and certified master gardeners need to report their hours.
Beginning in 2010 certified master gardeners need to have 6 Education hours and 12 Volunteer hours in order to maintain certification.The on line reporting system allows you to report Education or Volunteer hours. You can sign in to record hours in the right hand column under Recording Volunteer and Education Hours. Just click on the U. of A.
If you have any questions or concerns about the new reporting system, please contact Brenda Smith (A - M) or Sue Madden (N - Z). Their contacts are listed at the bottom of the blog under Contacts.


Ideas for hours------
--Attend monthly meetings
--Work on an association committee
--Work at an informational booth for the Master Gardeners
--Be a speaker about gardening topics at a variety of venues
--Host a garden tour
--Work at a fundraising event (Plant Sale - Garden Tour).

Be creative! There are many ways to fulfill your hours. Just remember for volunteering it needs to be a non-profit endeavor or an approved for profit site.

Coconino County Parks & Recreation Master Plan

Hello colleague,
 
The Coconino County Parks and Recreation Department is conducting a county-wide parks and recreation master plan.  The purpose of the master plan is to:
 
  1. Identify existing conditions relative to parks and recreation throughout the County.
  2. Understand the County’s parks and recreation related needs.
  3. Identify existing and future resources throughout the County that may address parks and recreation needs.
  4. Identify how Coconino County Parks and Recreation can help facilitate the fulfillment of County parks and recreation needs.
 
Our goal is to reach every community in order to understand their unique conditions and needs.  To this end, we have several public input meetings scheduled in Flagstaff (see attached flyer for dates, times and locations) and we hope you are able to attend one of them.  We also ask that you share this information and the flyer with individuals or distribution lists of people you think would be interested in providing input into the master plan.
 
Thanking you in advance for your participation and support.
