Subject: Tampa Bay Community Food Systems Internship Opportunity

 

 

Tampa Bay Community Food Systems Internship Opportunity

The Tampa Bay Community Food Systems Internship is a collaborative opportunity for students from local colleges and universities to work with community-based organizations to learn about local and global food systems. Coordinators from UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program, Eckerd College, and USF St. Petersburg match students with sites supervisors from community-based food organizations.

The internship focuses on several areas in the food system: Food Production, Distribution, Food Access, Food Justice, Education, Policy, and Resource Recovery. Through instruction with a community organization site supervisor, students are encouraged to develop expertise in the most relevant area of the food system for them, yet also utilize systems thinking to engage and consider the food system as a whole. Interns engage in weekly team site experiences as well as create and present on a capstone project that enhances one or more aspects of the food system in Pinellas County. To be considered for this internship, you can fill out the Food Systems Internship Application
.

This collaborative project between University of Florida IFAS Extension and Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services seeks to educate residents on how to identify and better control air potato vines, and to gather data important to current research and air potato leaf beetle tracking.

The website contains educational videos and a blog to educate the participants and keep them updated.

FLORIDA TREE FARM PROGRAM PREPARING FOR 2019 AUDIT
The Florida Tree Farm Program is preparing for a 2019 audit. The purpose of the audit is to verify that certified Tree Farms are compliant with the 2015-2020 Standards of Sustainability. A relatively small sample of Tree Farms will be selected for the audit. The audit team will visit selected Tree Farms to review the landowners' management plans and conduct a brief interview. The inspector of the property and a Florida Tree Farm representative will accompany the auditor. We will begin the audit process in January 2019. Selected sample Tree Farm landowners will receive a phone call in early January 2019.

To make sure this audit goes well it is extremely important for ALL certified Tree Farms in the state to have a current written management plan. Current means updated in the last 5 years. Contact your Florida Forest Service County Forester, consultant, or your Tree Farm District Representative if you need an update to your management plan, or if you have not been inspected since 2014

15)   From UF/IFAS: While our Invasive and Non-native Plants You Should Know Recognition Cards (UF/IFAS Publication #SP 431) have been around for some time, we only recently completed a Spanish language version. While we do not have the funds to print this recognition card deck, you may view it as a PDF file at Plantas Invasivas y No-nativas que Usted Debe Conocer (Tarjetas para indentificacion) – PDF only. Although it is 184 pages in its entirety, you may also print excerpts such as the plant pages you are most interested in. For example, Ardisia crenata is on pp. 23-24. Direct your printer to print only those 2 pages. You can select "fit to page" to get a full page version or not, to get a 3" x 4" version.
