SUMMARY:DEIJ COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE FOR WISCONSIN CONSERVATION
DESCRIPTION:The Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Justice (DEIJ) Community of Practice is a network of Wisconsin conservation organizations committed to engaging in and collectively advancing DEIJ work. \nEstablished in 2021\, the goal of this Community of Practice is to provide an intentional space to learn together\, to set goals for personal and professional growth and improvement\, and to catalyze action for diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and justice within Wisconsin’s conservation sector. \nWe recognize that the conservation field historically has not been inclusive\, equitable\, or diverse\, and we want to take action to change this. This Community of Practice will support organizations with goals such as integrating DEIJ into their operations and programs; making the conservation field more inclusive and diverse; and building relationships with\, amplifying the voices of\, and supporting the work of communities that have historically been excluded from conservation.

SUMMARY:hands with soil Soil biological health is dependent on soil properties and management
DESCRIPTION:How does tillage influence soil biology and overall soil health? Does higher crop diversity influence soil microbial composition and abundance? We examined soil biological health properties and field history data from 310 grower-managed fields in Michigan to help answer these questions. This webinar features research published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal.
