SUMMARY:Wisconsin Farmers Union Budget Organizing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This year\, instead of our annual Farm and Rural Lobby Day\, Wisconsin Farmers Union is engaging members in the biennial budget process. The state budget funds a wide range of public programs and services from education to transportation to conservation. This is a great opportunity for WFU members to advocate for state investment in family farms and rural communities. We are holding three budget organizing workshops throughout the month of March to let you know how you can get involved. During these workshops we will provide an overview of the state budget process\, share WFU budget priorities and talking points\, and help you prepare to get involved through public testimony\, meetings with legislators\, and media work. The same content will be covered in each workshop. Click here for more information.

SUMMARY:Growing Through Change - Sourcing Climate Resilient Seed for Ecologic Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Despite being The Prairie State the Illinois and neighboring states’ prairies have been heavily converted due to human use\, and many of those that remain are degraded. Research in the relatively new discipline of restoration ecology provides insights that practitioners use to restore diversity\, function and resilience to these landscapes influenced by anthropogenic change. A critical function of many restoration projects is the promotion of a diverse plant community\, which frequently requires the introduction of plant material such as seeds and plugs. The availability of appropriate material\, in terms of species\, origins and quantity\, is a limiting factor. Climate change further complicates the matter as land managers try to locate seed to best match future conditions in an effort to increase the resilience of managed sites. Land managers are aware of the complexity of the issue\, but the current literature is extensive and often inaccessible. A general review and synthesis of the current state of the science would bring needed guidance to practitioners and inform seed suppliers and researchers about gaps in native plant materials supply and research. \nFor more information\, follow this link. \n
