Joey Slowik, an integrated pest management technician with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, will share best practices for designing your garden to discourage slug incursions. He also will discuss ways to whittle their populations and other management strategies.
The webinar will be offered at noon on Wednesday, April 30, via Zoom. or visit .
