In this 2 hour webinar we will discuss the various types of winter kill, focusing on those that are most likely to occur in central and eastern Oregon. We will introduce the environmental conditions that lead to each type of winter kill, what strategies exist for preventing winter kill from occurring, and how to optimize your recovery time. Ample time for questions and discussion will be provided throughout the webinar. You may also send in questions ahead of time to ogcsa@ogcsa.org
