Introduction to Tractor Safety is designed to teach participants how to prevent accidents, identify hazards, and understand safe tractor practices. After completing the introductory class, students will be eligible to advance to Level 2 and receive certification in the future after completing driving hours between the two courses.

The course is open to anyone aged 13 and older. 4-H enrollment forms will be distributed prior to the course and are expected to be completed by the second class. The registration fee is $25 ($10 for current Ulster 4-H members), which includes the Student Manual. Space is limited to the first 20 paid registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. Sorry, no refunds.

Adults are welcome to audit the class with a $10 donation to 4-H; however, manuals will not be provided to adults.

Match 19th, 24th, 31st & April 7th at the Stone Ridge Firehouse from 7 PM to 9 PM
