[Education] [Communications] PLEASE ADVISE: Questions about COVID-19 and the Growing Season

Wed Apr 1 15:47:40 CDT 2020

Hola Maria,

We’re awaiting a Spanish translation for the NeighborSpace/CCGA guidelines. I’ll send it to you as soon as it’s available.
I will also reach out to Sarah Batka and see if there are versions of the U of I Extension resources in Spanish. I did not see anything on their website.

Take care,
Amy
