Join us to learn about how to stay safe while digging in your yard, garden, and farm by learning about the 811 process.

On Friday November 20 from 2 pm - 4 pm, NC811 will lead a workshop at our Forsyth County Extension Office (7232 Forsyth Center Dr, Tobaccoville, NC, 27050) auditorium on pipeline safety. This course applies to anyone doing any kind of digging, including homeowners, businesses, and contractors, and will cover how to mitigate any risk while excavating. 811 is a public safety service that helps prevent damage to underground infrastructure and keep people safe while they dig in their yards, gardens, and farms.

More information can be found from this link (The 811 Process).
