Pollinations and Inoculations - Come Help!

Come One, Come All!

Volunteer to help with Hand Pollinations and with controlled inoculations at our Meadowview Research Farms and Throughout the Southern Region!!

 

Dear Members and Volunteers,

 

We are excited to start our pollination/inoculation season with fun and satisfying fieldwork at Meadowview and throughout the southern region.

 

There’s plenty of work going on from early June through early July, so pick some dates that work best for you. Just let me know if you’re looking for something local or if you want to make the trek to Meadowview.

 

Note that although we anticipate various projects going on all month and throughout the region, the exact where and when the work takes place can be dependent on Mother Nature, so try to be flexible.

 

Lodging at Meadowview is provided at Emory and Henry College (just remember to bring your own linens).

 

 

WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN:

 

1^st and 2^nd weeks of June – We are looking for a lot of help with inoculations at Meadowview this year (we have 7000 trees to screen in the Meadowview progeny tests). Whenever at Meadowview, we spend the day in the field having fun and then head out for a well-earned meal (and maybe a beer!).

 

1st week of June through early July – we will collect pollen and conduct controlled pollinations at Meadowview and throughout the region. Again, if you join us at Meadowview, you’re in for a rewarding experience.

 

Let me know if you have any availability during these timeframes.
