Two Texas Department of Agriculture Integrated Pest Management (IPM) continuing education credits for pesticide applicators are available. 
The Feb. 18 program presentations will focus on the Bois d’Arc Lake watershed and will discuss basic watershed function, water quality, and specific best management practices that can be implemented to help minimize bacterial contamination originating from livestock and feral hogs. 
The Bois d’Arc Lake Watershed Partnership includes Fannin County, Fannin County Soil and Water Conservation District, Cities of Bonham and Honey Grove, Texas A&amp;M AgriLife, NTMWD and other stakeholders. “The Partnership was formed early in 2021 to guide development of the Bois d’Arc Lake Watershed Protection Plan. said David Cowan, Watershed Manager for North Texas Municipal Water District. 
“The goal of the Lone Star Healthy Streams program is to educate Texas livestock producers and landowners about how to best protect Texas waterways from bacterial contamination associated with beef cattle, horses, and feral hogs,” said Leanne Wiley, AgriLife Extension program specialist and Lone Star Healthy Streams instructor, Bryan-College Station. 
Funding for this effort is provided through a Clean Water Act §319(h) Nonpoint Source Grant administered by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
