Subject: For MG listserv: Online USDA Chestnut Course available

Hello- I wanted to pass on this educational opportunity to you all. This is a course that is self-paced and online that is suggested to take at least an hour. It may be of interest to you all for some novel continuing education. Have a great week, Natalie

By the way, there will be lots of live and online MG content coming up this year as well. We are tweaking our schedule right now and will share dates and as many of the topics as we can next week.
