| Dr. Bob Bors, 2014 Haskap Day Field Tour, U of SK |
A sabbatical has been officially approved
for Dr. Bob Bors. From July 1, 2015
until June 30, 2016 Bob will be working on finishing up a grower’s manual for Haskap! He is also planning on visiting Haskap growers, as his
schedule allows. In conjunction
with these visits he would like to offer seminars as well as to provide advice
in the field. If a grower’s group, for
example, were able to host a seminar, he would then be able to visit numerous
sites in that region. If, however, there
is no grower’s group in your area this should not deter you from sending him an
invitation if you are willing to invite others to your orchard who will benefit
from his visit.
If you are interested in hosting an event
or in inviting him to spend some time in your orchard you are invited to email
him at Bob.bors@usask.ca so that he can
start a database for possible visits. In
the subject line please add the words: Sabbatical Visit. Please describe to him your
interest and/or experience with Haskap. He
will need to know your location (your nearest town is good enough). If he is able to be in your region he will be
contacting you.
Remember, we at Haskap Canada ideally consider
that Haskap is a resource that is able to improve an entire community as a
whole. Growers who also provide information
and assistance to others in their region help an entire community to achieve a
healthier, more bountiful life. Your
invitation to him should ideally reflect your experience at having done so, or
your plans to do so.
During his sabbatical he will also be
attending gene banks and nursery industry opportunities. The invitation on this post is specifically
aimed at growers who care about their respective communities.
What a great opportunity! I guess that doctors still do make house
calls!!!
