SUMMARY:Understanding Bird Populations and How They Change
DESCRIPTION:October 11 – November 1 (Tuesdays\, 7:00 – 8:30 pm each week) \nIn less than a single human lifetime\, 2.9 billion breeding adult birds have been lost from the United States and Canada\, across every ecosystem\, and including some of the most abundant and familiar bird species. In this course we will examine how we determine the abundance and distribution of different bird species\, for both bird populations in Wisconsin and at the national level. State and federal monitoring programs will also be discussed. We will also consider how bird populations have changed\, what species are currently “at-risk” and why\, and how monitoring programs can be used in management and conservation. We will also review the many organizations that work on studying bird populations. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Sand County Foundation’s Leadership for Midwestern Watersheds is a popular forum for professionals who lead projects that reduce agricultural runoff in watersheds of the central United States. \nLeadership for Midwestern Watersheds is developing a “community of practice” among conservation practitioners who work to improve water quality with landowners\, agencies\, and businesses\, one watershed at a time. \nThe annual LMW meeting series features presentations and facilitated discussions on subjects essential to successful watershed projects. Examples include: farmer engagement\, geospatial planning tools\, project financing\, and water quality monitoring. To date\, more than 300 attendees from Illinois\, Indiana\, Iowa\, Minnesota\, Wisconsin and beyond have participated\, including many watershed projects supported by state nutrient reduction programs and USDA-NRCS Landscape Conservation Initiatives. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:More than the sum of their parts? Interactions of invasive species and other environmental change
DESCRIPTION:International concern about the consequences of human-induced global environmental changes has prompted a renewed focus on reducing ecological effects of biological invasions\, climate change\, and nutrient pollution. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relative magnitude of invasion plus another environmental change on native organisms relative to invasion or environmental change effects alone. The good news is that the bad news isn’t quite as bad as we thought\, and that tangible local-scale invasive species management is beneficial even with other environmental changes. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Wisconsin DNR Technical Standard 1072 Horizontal Directional Drilling
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources published a new technical standard that provides criteria for projects employing horizontal directional drilling (HDD). The standard includes procedures and practices to protect water quality by reducing sediment discharge from work areas\, reducing potential for runoff to carry construction materials into waters of the state\, and clarifying expectations for spill prevention and response procedures that are relevant to HDD construction methods. This includes practices to reduce the risk of runoff carrying drilling fluid from inadvertent releases (IRs)\, also known as a frac-out or inadvertent return\, to water resources through prevention and response planning. \nWI DNR staff will be leading this training. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Invasive Mussel Collaborative Tools and Accomplishments
DESCRIPTION:Research Work Group presented by Ashley Elgin\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \nThe IMC Research Work Group is tasked with coordinating and prioritizing research to maximize and advance dreissenid control outcomes. We recently developed a project inventory to collate information on dreissenid mussel-related projects across organizations and regions. We also worked with managers and researchers to rank dreissenid mussel research priorities\, the results of which can help inform future research efforts. \nToxicity Test Work Group presented by Diane Waller\, U.S. Geological Survey \nThe IMC Toxicity Testing Work Group is tasked with developing a framework for dreissenid testing which will provide guidance for researchers on testing and reporting methods and inform managers and regulatory agencies on how toxicity data on molluscicides have been generated. We developed a database of dreissenid toxicity studies\, both laboratory and open water studies\, that will be accessible on the IMC website. We also drafted a guidance document on “best practices” for toxicity testing based on published standard methods\, a literature review\, and recommendations from an expert panel. \nCoastal Site Priorities Work Group: Tools for Identifying Priority Sites for Experimental Mussel Control in the Great Lakes presented by Jeff Tyson\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission \nThe presentation will cover the process that the Coastal Site Priorities Working Group used to identify appropriate sites to implement experimental invasive mussel control. Additionally\, the presentation will cover the tools developed for customizing experimental invasive mussel site priority development based upon agency or researcher specified priorities. \nInfo here.
