SUMMARY:NFIP Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet minimum NFIP floodplain management criteria. Compliance problems may be program deficiencies or violations that occur on individual properties. Program deficiencies and violations are considered to be substantive if they could result in increased flood damage or flood heights during base flood conditions. The webinar will cover common compliance issues and steps community officials can take to remedy violations and/or program deficiencies. If a community with identified program deficiencies\, violations\, or both does not take action to restore compliance with NFIP criteria\, FEMA’s Community Compliance Program provides the mechanism for action. Unresolved compliance issues could result in a community’s probation or suspension from the NFIP. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Upper Mississippi River restoration history: From dam planning to partnership successes
DESCRIPTION:Most people have a mental picture of the Mississippi River shaped through the writings of Mark Twain\, media images of floods\, school lessons in geography\, and/or personal experience. Many\, however\, are not aware of how extensively humans have altered the river’s ecosystem and what it takes to make a large floodplain river like the Mississippi a more sustainable ecosystem. Mississippi River habitat restoration is an art that blends an understanding of historical events\, science\, insight\, communication\, and societal desires. In this presentation\, Mississippi River Habitat Specialist Jeff Janvrin will touch on these topics and highlight examples of progress through partnerships in recent decades. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Walking on Two Legs: An Indigenous Framework to Guide Research and Restoration in Fire-adapted Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide\, Indigenous peoples are leading the revitalization of their/our cultures through the restoration of ecosystems in which they are embedded\, including in response to increasing “megafires.” Yet\, despite growing recognition that just and effective conservation is only possible through partnerships with\, or led by\, Indigenous peoples\, decolonizing approaches to restoration have received insufficient attention. Further\, reconciliation will be incomplete without Indigenous-led restoration of Indigenous lands\, knowledges\, and cultures. In this webinar\, we will introduce the concept of “walking on two legs” to guide restoration scientists and practitioners in advancing the interconnected processes of Indigenous-led restoration and reconciliation in Indigenous territories. As an action-oriented framework articulated by Secwépemc Elder Ronald E. Ignace\, “walking on two legs” seeks to bring Indigenous knowledges into balance with western scientific knowledge in service of upholding an Indigenous stewardship ethic that is embedded in Indigenous ways of relating to land and embodies principles of respect\, reciprocity\, and responsibility. Grounding our discussion in the context of fire-adapted ecosystems of western Canada and unceded and traditional Secwépemc territory\, Secwepemcúl̓ecw\, we will share two case studies of collaborative and Indigenous-led research and restoration to demonstrate how “walking on two legs” provides a pathway to uphold respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples\, knowledges\, and territories through Indigenous-led restoration. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Industrial Hemp into our Rotation
DESCRIPTION:Our research has shown that industrial hemp offers a host of soil health benefits\, including exceptional weed suppression as a cover crop – but how can it fit into a crop rotation\, and is it profitable? Join us to discuss opportunities for growing\, marketing\, and incorporating industrial hemp into your crop rotation. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Nature-Based Shoreline Approaches in Cold Climates
DESCRIPTION:NOAA’s Coastal Resilience Grants are helping communities interested in increasing resilience to sea level rise\, erosion\, and flood events. This free webinar is part of a series designed to share lessons learned from these projects. REGISTER HERE \nNature-based shoreline approaches are more prevalent in the Mid-Atlantic\, Southeast\, and Gulf regions\, but this is changing for many Great Lakes and New England communities. As these areas are starting to use these approaches more frequently\, they can benefit from discussions about the techniques and performance in colder climate regions. \nThis webinar focuses on how cold climate regions are advancing the science and use of nature-based shoreline approaches. Learn about two projects that 1) identified Great Lakes nature-based shoreline techniques and considerations; and 2) conducted monitoring to provide a greater understanding of the effectiveness\, impacts\, benefits\, and limitations of living shoreline approaches in New England. Both projects will share local examples and resources.

SUMMARY:When Self-Help Isn't Enough
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is designed to reduce avoidable delays in receiving appropriate mental health care. In this session that is tailored for members of the agricultural community\, participants will learn to identify and address the internal roadblocks one may experience when making the decision to seek professional assistance with mental health issues. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Carbon Markets
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will introduce carbon offset credits and markets with an emphasis on forest carbon offset projects in the United States. The presentation will define carbon offsets and forest management practices that qualify for offset projects. The presentation then will walk-through the steps to developing a forest carbon project whose offset credits are traded in the voluntary and compliance markets. The webinar will also cover emerging programs and current trends in forest carbon offset programs. \nInfo here.
