Green Card Training for July 5th, 2024
Terratree is offering Green Card training at a discounted rate of $280 (excl GST plus booking fee). $130 of the fee per person goes back to the Dieback Working Group(DWG) who are a not-for-profit organisation who developed and own the IP for the Green Card training course. The trainer, Joe Grehan, is a DBCA registered Dieback Interpreter and accredited Green Card trainer with DWG.
Green Card Training equips trainees with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage the risk of spreading Dieback as well as other plant pathogens and weeds. The training covers essential topics such as the nature of the disease, its spread and management, relevant guiding documents, and the necessary skills to clean and inspect a vehicle for soil, animal, and plant material, and to follow Dieback hygiene signage. The training comprises a theory session, followed by a practical session where trainees learn how to inspect and clean a vehicle.
The course being offered will include a field trip to ALP Street Reserve in Mt. Helena to look at different Dieback occurrence categories (infested, uninfested and uninterpretable). The course duration is between 4 hours and includes a PowerPoint presentation followed by a vehicle cleardown exercise and site visit (an additional 2-3 hours). At the end of the PowerPoint presentation, there is a short question and answer session, followed by the practical vehicle clean down exercise. On completion of the course attendees receive a Green Card with their name on it which is valid for three years.
The course will be delivered from a conference room at the Crooked Spire Café, which is located at 71 Victoria St, Midland WA 6056, right across from the Midland train station. The café has an excellent range of food and beverages that people can purchase, otherwise people should bring their own lunches and other consumables..
Attendees should bring appropriate PPE for the site visit including long pants and long-sleeved shirt, hat, sunscreen and water and gloves and safety glasses for the clean-down exercise.
