SUMMARY:Healthy Soils for a Sustainable Future: Soil Health and Greenhouse Gases
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is intended to help technicians and educators work with landowners to help them better understand and navigate methods for reducing GHG emissions from soil through soil carbon and N management while also addressing other social or economic considerations. Soils are fundamental to a secure future. With limited agricultural land and a changing climate\, it is critical that we maintain our soils to ensure a resilient future for all. Improved soil carbon and nitrogen management increases soil health\, increases grower profits\, increases adaptability to extreme weather\, and reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to the atmosphere\, reducing climate change and its impacts.\nFind out more here.

SUMMARY:How Did We Get Here?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a light-hearted but historically accurate overview of the evolution of county land conservation programs from the perspective of two “seasoned” County Conservationists\, with a focus on nonpoint pollution. Why did Wisconsin abolish Soil & Water Conservation Districts in 1982? Why does that make us unique nationally? What have been key program developments since? Who were the key players? What have been some of our biggest challenges\, accomplishments\, and setbacks? As we plan to address our current and future program challenges\, attendees will gain a better appreciation of our rich history\, and the lessons learned along the way. Presenters are Perry Lindquist\, Waukesha Co.\, and Dan Masterpole\, Chippewa Co. \nRegister here by noon on October 8.

SUMMARY:The History and Ecology of the Horicon Marsh
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Horicon Marsh is one of creation\, destruction\, and revival. Created by the glaciers yet scarred by humans\, this important wetland has been restored by conservationists who had the foresight to think about the future of this wetland. Despite the degradation\, Horicon Marsh was listed as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 1990 and is one of the best of the best wetlands in the world. Though significantly changed\, it is a true testament to the resiliency of nature when allowed to be preserved. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Leaf-Free Streets: Reducing Urban Phosphorus
DESCRIPTION:Trees have long been a valued feature of the urban landscape. They provide a host of benefits such as habitat\, aesthetics\, energy savings\, and noise reduction. Trees are also an important part of the urban hydrologic cycle. The functions and value of trees have recently gained attention as viable tools in the management of urban stormwater. Research on the interactions between urban trees and stormwater quantity and quality has revealed a double-edged sword. A community with dense overhead tree canopy may benefit from reduced stormwater runoff volume through interception\, transpiration\, and infiltration but may also suffer from excess nutrients leached to nearby receiving waters from leaf litter. This presentation will highlight ongoing research that will help environmental managers assess how municipal leaf collection and street cleaning programs can limit the amount of phosphorus in stormwater runoff. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Advancing Wisconsin's Rural Bioeconomy
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin’s agricultural expertise and abundant natural resources offer fertile ground for building an enhanced bioeconomy that is sustainable\, resilient\, and — by utilizing waste streams as feedstocks for new products — circular. This emerging economic model based on the utilization of renewable organic material has the potential to accelerate rural economic development in many ways. New technologies could transform local\, renewable waste materials and non-food crops into new revenue streams for farmers and producers. Existing industries could access new markets with novel bio-based or biodegradable materials\, growing their economic impact and job base. Converting organic materials into valuable products would keep excess nutrients off the landscape and out of our waterways\, improving water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Join us to learn and discuss how a circular bioeconomy can make Wisconsin and other rural communities more resilient\, sustainable\, and prosperous.\n\nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:The Power of Birds to Amplify Conservation\, Stewardship\, and Community Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to tap into a network of 46 million Americans who contribute nearly $80 billion to the U.S. economy annually? If so\, it may be time for your land trust to consider (or reconsider) birds. Birdwatching is one of the fastest-growing hobbies in North America with over half of birders under the age of 54. Through its conserved lands\, land trusts have a natural connection to the birding community and the ability to conserve wildlife within these habitats. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Quantifying Conservation Effects on Multiple Wetland Ecosystem Services
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight the Integrated Landscape Modeling Partnership (ILMP) and its application to wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region in the northern Great Plains. The ILMP is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)\, and its aim is to identify\, evaluate\, and develop geospatial models to quantify services derived from wetland ecosystems and to determine the effects of conservation practice implementation. This webinar will explore wetland ecosystem services\, conservation benefits\, and the tradeoffs inherent in conservation practice implementation and wetlands restoration. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:The Door Peninsula Coastal Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:What comes to mind when you hear Door County? Your first thoughts might be of wineries\, quaint shops\, and bluff overlooks. But you may not be aware that the peninsula also boasts a Wetland of International Importance. The Door Peninsula Coastal Wetlands Ramsar Site is a 11\,443-acre wetland complex that occupies a major section of the Lake Michigan shoreline in Door County. Stretching from Newport State Park southward to The Ridges Sanctuary\, the site contains several regionally- and globally-significant wetland communities including Great Lakes ridge and swale\, northern sedge meadow\, calcareous fens\, boreal rich fens\, northern wet-mesic forest\, and Great Lakes alkaline shoreline among others. The Door Peninsula Coastal Wetlands Ramsar Site also houses 15 plant species listed as threatened or endangered by the State of Wisconsin and three plant and animal species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Join Kari Hagenow to explore the “quiet side” of Door County. Learn what makes this site so special\, the threats that these wetlands continue to face\, and how you can be a good steward while visiting this beautiful and diverse place. \nLearn more here.
