SUMMARY:How do crop advisors do conservation?
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered how to engage the private ag consulting world on soil conservation practices? Tune in to a webinar from the Minnesota Office for Soil Health\, to discuss the findings of recent interviews with MN crop advisors who work with conservation practices. Participants will learn what difficulties and opportunities crop advisors see for increasing adoption of practices like reduced tillage and cover crops. A moderated discussion will follow to discuss how local government and agency employees can better engage with private retail or independent crop consultants to promote and implement conservation practices across Minnesota. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Managing Plant Surplus Carbon to Generate Soil Organic Matter in Regenerative Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Soil degradation is a global problem. Intensive\, chemical-based conventional agriculture focuses on aboveground biomass production and yield and overlooks belowground plant carbon input and plant-soil-microbe associations\, leading to declined soil organic matter levels. In this webinar\, Dr. Yichao Rui will explain how regenerative agricultural practices such as judicious use of fertilizers\, incorporation of legumes\, and adaptive grazing can increase SOM levels by enhancing plant surplus carbon. Fine-tuning of agricultural practices may provide an opportunity to facilitate SOM regeneration while optimizing long-term crop yields. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Pastured Pigs for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an introductory conversation about the production and marketing of pigs raised in pasture settings. Pigs can function as a profitable stand-alone enterprise or can be integrated into your existing farm structure to provide a variety of products and make use of marginal lands that would otherwise go unused. Pigs are also ideal for turning agricultural wastes such as spent grain\, whey\, or seconds into a valuable products\, and with proper management\, they can improve the land where they are kept. Come with questions! \nInfo here.

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:Identifying trade‐offs and opportunities for forest carbon and wildlife using a climate change adaptation lens
DESCRIPTION:On a warming planet\, a key challenge natural resource managers face is protecting wildlife while mitigating climate change—as through forest carbon storage—to the greatest extent possible. But in some ecosystems\, habitat restoration for imperiled species may be incompatible with maximizing carbon storage. For example\, promoting early successional forest conditions does not maximize stand-level carbon storage\, whereas uniformly promoting high stocking or mature forest conditions in the name of carbon storage excludes species that require open or young stands. This webinar will briefly review the literature regarding carbon and wildlife trade-offs and then explore four case studies from the Northern Forest region of the United States. In each case\, human activities have largely dampened the influence of natural disturbances; restoring or emulating these disturbances is typically required for habitat restoration even when doing so equates to less carbon storage at the stand level. This talk will propose that applying a climate adaptation lens can help managers and planners navigate these trade-offs and steer away from maladaptive practices that may ultimately reduce adaptive capacity. Instead\, critically evaluating the consequences of stand-level management actions on both carbon and wildlife can then facilitate landscape-scale climate adaptation planning that supports a diversity of habitats alongside opportunities to invest in maximizing forest carbon. \nInfo here.

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.
