<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">From large bulldozers to small ATVs, habitat management often necessitates the use of heavy machinery. And safely transporting and using that equipment ensures we protect the people and the land engaged in this critical work! In this episode, the fourth in our Habitat Safety Miniseries, Adam visits with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Heavy Equipment Manager for Region 3 in the upper Midwest, Clint DeMenge. Clint shares his knowledge from a career operating and training others to safely operate all kinds of heavy equipment to help habitat managers think about safely transporting and operating equipment! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Give us some feedback or potential topics you would like to here by filling out our listener survey:</span> <a href= "https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oteinFuEzFCDmm"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oteinFuEzFCDmm</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Resources mentioned in the show:</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Determine if you need a CDL and how to get one by searching your state DOT.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Herbicides can be a critical tool for habitat management, especially when it comes to invasive species. But their use does not come without risk to the applicator or the environment. In this episode, Adam visits with Dr. Fred Whitford, clinical engagement professor and director of the pesticide programs at Purdue University. Fred talks through the critical steps of making sure you’re using the right tool at the right time to confront the right challenge and then how to do it safely for you and the environment! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Give us some feedback or potential topics you would like to here by filling out our listener survey:</span> <a href= "https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oteinFuEzFCDmm"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oteinFuEzFCDmm</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Resources mentioned in the show:</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">You can learn more about Integrated Pest Management from regional hubs indexed at this site:</span> <a href= "https://www.ipmcenters.org/"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> https://www.ipmcenters.org/</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Basic PPE for Pesticide use article from Iowa State:</span> <a href= "https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/Basic-PPE-for-Pesticide-Use"> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/Basic-PPE-for-Pesticide-Use</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Fred mentioned state certification manuals – Here’s resources from his unit at Purdue:</span> <a href= "https://ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/ppp/resources/training-manuals/"> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">https://ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/ppp/resources/training-manuals/</span></a> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Search online for those in your states too.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Learn more about the unit Fred works in here:</span> <a href= "https://ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/ppp/?_ga=2.195774693.850525591.1725366513-410479841.1725366508"> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">https://ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/ppp</span></a><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"> </span></p>
