SUMMARY:Preparing for and Adapting to Future Floods with Natural Flood Management
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about opportunities to mitigate flood risks to communities and infrastructure with cost-effective\, nature-based solutions? In this session\, participants will learn about Natural Flood Management (NFM)\, an emerging concept that involves using a combination of multiple practices\, in different parts of the watershed\, to increase the landscape’s ability to store and manage water. You’ll hear about watershed-scale risk assessments and NFM demonstration projects that are underway in Ashland County to identify infrastructure vulnerabilities and prioritize where flood risks can be minimized through upstream hydrologic restoration actions. The panel will also discuss benefit-cost data\, screening tools\, infrastructure design approaches\, and other resources that can help your community tap into hazard mitigation\, disaster recovery\, and climate adaptation funding. \nFollow this link to learn more.

SUMMARY:Badger Swine Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin may be known as the dairy state\, but ties to swine production in Wisconsin run deep. Historically\, immigrant populations demanded pork for the manufacture of sausage and other products\, leading to as much as 80% of all Wisconsin farms having pigs on the farm in the early twentieth century. Pig farming looks different today with less total farms that have pigs on them\, but raising pigs continues to be an important part of agriculture in Wisconsin. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Leading for Racial Equity Series: Learning and deconstructing structures of power and privilege in state and local government
DESCRIPTION:Even when we don’t recognize them\, many of our local government programs are built on structures of power and privilege.

SUMMARY:Complexities in Predicting Harmful Algal Blooms
DESCRIPTION:Predicting when and where conditions are ripe for harmful algal blooms would ideally reduce the bloom’s impact on water quality and mitigation costs\, so why is harmful algal bloom prediction so complex? \nTune into our upcoming webinar to hear from Justin Chaffin\, Senior Researcher and Research Coordinator at Ohio State University and Stone Laboratory and Katie Foreman\, Physical Scientist at the US EPA\, as they discuss their research on the ecology and physiology of harmful algal blooms and how this work can be used to help solve the prediction puzzle! \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Practices for Protecting Local Farmland
DESCRIPTION:Farmland protection is critical to preserving our ability to grow food for our communities in the future\, among many other benefits including mitigating climate change and that sustainable agriculture can provide. Proactively protecting farmland is more important now more than ever\, given accelerating farmland loss and increasing urban development pressure on peri-urban and rural landscapes in Wisconsin and across the US. Wisconsin’s state and local governments have unique opportunities to enact innovative farmland protection measures\, and the opportunity to position our state as a leader in safeguarding the future of agriculture. Learn about local-\, regional-\, and state-level opportunities in farmland protection\, hear about innovative local government programs that are working to protect farmland\, and engage in a peer discussion about possible solutions. \nInfo here.
