More Sandpit Management Workshops

March 6, 2017 daryl bauer

I blogged about a sandpit management workshop last week.  I intended that would be the only blog post about that, but within a half day after posting, I discovered there were more workshops scheduled.  So, I need to get the word out about those too:

Sandpits can be excellent fisheries and are very important fisheries resources in Nebraska!
