Level 2 Programming Resource List:  Presentation Materials

Programming at Level 2 is a more active level of information dissemination, where Yardwaste Managers inform the community about proper yardwaste management and not only create awareness, but increase knowledge and personal commitment of community members.  This may involve giving presentations to existing groups who have an interest, such as local gardening groups, elementary school classes, civic organizations, homeowners, or other interested groups;  writing articles for the local newspaper; or doing spots on public access television. The following materials are available as presentation aids.
