SUMMARY:Tracking the Golden-winged Warbler
DESCRIPTION:Birds in North America are facing considerable population decline\, with over half of all species declining in the past half-century. This is particularly true for the Golden-winged Warbler\, a neotropical songbird that has experienced over a 70% population decline since 1966. Due to their imperiled status\, they are currently being considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act. To better understand drivers behind their population decline\, and to aid in giving an informed listing decision\, we have initiated a range-wide collaborative effort to assess annual survival of both males and (the more elusive) females through the use of radio telemetry. Join Emily Filiberti\, a Master’s candidate at the University of Maine\, to learn more about her contribution to this widespread effort through deploying and tracking these NanoTags on Golden-winged Warblers in Oneida County. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Integrating Water Quality Management and Natural Hazard Resilience through Nature Based Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Water quality management and natural hazards such as flood\, drought\, wildfire\, etc. can be closely related\, and natural hazards can have major impacts on water resources – both in terms of quality and quantity. When implemented strategically\, nature-based practices can create co-benefits by improving water quality and increasing community resilience to hazards. Understanding these co-benefits can be useful in leveraging resources\, expertise\, and funding across different programs and agencies. \nThis webinar features professionals from across the country that are conducting projects that promote both water quality and hazard resilience. Speakers will discuss a variety work\, including urban green infrastructure and large-scale floodplain restoration projects that address water quality and flood concerns\, as well as research on how communities can integrate nature-based practices into their planning and resource management. Speakers will discuss partnerships they have built across agencies and organizations\, and the creative funding strategies that have been used to support this work. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Coastal Workshop
DESCRIPTION:FEMA has been preparing coastal flood hazard analyses for the Great Lakes coasts for several years. As a result\, Flood Insurance Studies and Flood Insurance Rate Maps for Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan and Lake Superior coastal counties will be revised to include the new analyses over the next few years. \nMost coastal counties on Lake Michigan have already begun the regulatory phase of the process. Local floodplain management regulations will need to be updated to reference the revised data and to include additional minimum floodplain management standards that meet the National Flood Insurance Program minimum criteria for affected communities to continue participating. \nLocal floodplain management officials will need to become familiar with the new types of data\, the new regulations and the implications for development regulation\, hazard mitigation and insurance in the affected areas. Understanding the rules and the potential financial outcomes of development decisions will help local officials counsel property owners\, developers and consultants considering construction and reconstruction of facilities in coastal areas in Wisconsin. \nThis seminar will provide an overview of the National Flood Insurance Program’s approach to identifying and describing Great Lakes coastal hazards. It will also show how to find the needed data for development regulation in coastal hazard areas and explain the National Flood Insurance Program floodplain management standards for coastal hazard areas in detail. In addition\, the seminar will include content regarding the redesigned Flood Insurance rating system\, known as “Risk Rating 2.0\,” with a focus on how the new rating methodology might be viewed by stakeholders making decisions about development in coastal areas. \nLocal officials from affected communities should attend\, including those who may have attended earlier versions of this seminar given in June 2018. We also encourage other stakeholders interested or involved in regulation or design and construction in coastal areas of Wisconsin to attend. \nThe approximate length is 3.5 hours. The session will be led by Frank Shockey\, Senior NFIP Specialist\, FEMA Region 5. Please RSVP to Frank Shockey (Frank.Shockey@fema.dhs.gov) or Brian Cunningham (brian.cunningham@wisconsin.gov) if planning to attend.

SUMMARY:Restoration Success: Linking Social and Ecological Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Understanding why habitat restoration is\, or isn’t\, viewed as successful is a critical piece of evaluating completed projects and garnering support for future projects. Ecological measures alone may not fully describe the success or shortcomings of restoration projects\, and public perceptions of success may be based on an entirely different set of metrics. In fact\, restoration metrics rarely include human dimensions even though community support for restoration can make or break potential future projects\, and affect long-term success of completed ones. \nUsing South Slough NERR (Oregon) and other restoration projects in the region as case studies\, this project deployed a three-pronged approach to understand and improve estuarine restoration outcomes\, which includes synthesis of long-term monitoring data\, comparisons between manager and public perceptions\, and interviews to understand efficacy of ecological metrics. In this webinar\, the project team will talk about their approach to understanding restoration success\, summarize their findings on the values and perceptions associated with estuarine restoration\, and share recommendations for including social and ecological metrics in future restoration projects. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Why Building With Mass Timber is the Best Thing a Company Can do to Sustain America's Working Forests & Their Role as a Natural Climate Solution
DESCRIPTION:This webinar addresses the question: will rising demand for mass timber products result in unsustainable levels of harvesting forests in the United States? Participants will learn the role family forest owners play in ensuring the availability of domestic wood supply and the importance of demand in US timber for sustaining forests in continuing to serve as a natural climate solution. As the prospect of increased utilization of wood products in the built environment\, specifically mass timber and CLT\, as a climate solution surges\, riding the wave is the tremendous potential to boost the demand for domestically sourced timber. \nInfo here.
