SUMMARY:Principles of Riverscape Health & Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar we will immerse you deeper into reading riverscapes; specifically\, we will introduce the principles of riverscape health. These principles will be cast in a light to help you better recognize impairments\, articulate the scope of what’s been lost\, and realistically target recovery potential. Then we will introduce low-tech process-based restoration (PBR) as a means of addressing structural starvation so pervasive among many riverscapes today. We will briefly highlight six principles of low-tech PBR\, which help guide restoration planning\, design and implementation and more critically place our actions as ecological restoration practitioners in context. While we will focus on examples of these principles in practice for riverine and riparian ecosystmes\, the mechanistic and functional focus has merit in crossover to restoration of other ecosystems as well. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Drought Decision-Making Tools You Can Use
DESCRIPTION:Learn about two toolkits that support drought monitoring and drought decision-making across the lower 48 states: the Integrated Water Portal and The Climate Toolbox. The Integrated Water Portal brings together water data from several different agencies into a map-driven data exploration and visualization tool that is designed to support drought monitoring at state and basin scales. This site allows users to quickly explore regional and local water conditions with a focus on surface and near-surface supplies. The Climate Toolbox is a set of mapping/graphing tools that can be used to explore climate/hydrology data in real-time with comparisons to the past and insight into the future (sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts and future projections) at gridded locations. The presentation will also feature users’ perspectives\, including how the State of Washington’s Drought Coordinator uses The Climate Toolbox for state drought monitoring \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Small-Scale No-Till Vegetables
DESCRIPTION:Reducing tillage is one of the best ways to improve soil health on your farm. However\, a lot of no-till practices are specific to large-scale row crops and are hard to implement on diversified vegetable farms. In recent years\, the practice of reducing tillage on small-scale vegetable farms has been gaining momentum. Join the Land Stewardship Project for an online presentation and conversation with Les Macare and Els Dobrick of Racing Heart Farm as they share their experiences with implementing no-till practices on their farm in western Wisconsin to increase soil health and efficiency.  RSVP to Annelie Livingston-Anderson at annelie@landstewardshipproject.org

The program will be offered via zoom/video conference \nThe program will train agribusiness professionals in Question\, Persuade\, Refer (QPR). Agriculture professionals and consultants work closely with farmers and are often in a position to recognize acute stress. Given the appropriate training and skills\, they may help recognize when stress is overwhelming\, and could refer farmers to appropriate resources. \nThe mission of the Question\, Persuade\, Refer program is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative\, practical and proven suicide prevention training that can make a positive difference in the life of someone you know. QPR consists of these three skills: Question…a person about suicide\, Persuade…someone to get help and\, Refer…someone to the appropriate resource \nThere is no cost to attend the program. Each session is limited to 20 attendees. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/question-persuade-referqpr-training-for-ag-business-professionals-registration-105261199080?aff=QPR. \nTo request program accommodations in languages other than English\, or based on disability\, contact Maria Jose Fuenzalida at maria.fuenzalidavalenzuela@wisc.edu Dane County\, Elizabeth Binversie at elizabeth.binversie@browncountywi.gov Brown County.

SUMMARY:Gaining Ground - Soil as a Renewable Resource?
DESCRIPTION:The soil health nexus for their soil health digital cafe series. \nCan health of a degraded soil be regenerated? We use the term ‘regenerative agriculture\,’ but what does it mean and does science suggest degraded soils can realistically be brought back to original productivity levels?  If it can\, how long will it take? Tune in to hear from Rick Cruse of the Iowa Water Center as he discusses the time required to potentially regenerate components of a healthy soil and identify the most critical soil degradation processes common with today’s agriculture. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Lake Ice - The Invisible Present and Place
DESCRIPTION:The decline in ice cover on lakes has been an early warning for the onset of today’s climate change. Records of ice-on and ice-off dates and the duration of ice cover were commonly kept by citizens over the last 50 to 150 years often prior to the establishment of weather stations. These records allow us to visualize lake ice in the context of change that occurred over decades to centuries. One Shinto Shrine record began in the 1400s in Japan. Ice records allow us to see what has been happening not only to our lake\, or Wisconsin lakes\, but to lakes around the Northern Hemisphere. Declines already have affected human uses of winter lake ice. Several lakes in Wisconsin experience winters without complete ice cover; such winters are forecast to become more common in Wisconsin’s future. Declines in ice has increased winter drownings\, and has decreased days for winter fishing\, festivals\, skating\, iceboating\, skiing\, walking\, and viewing\, as well as transportation on winter ice roads. Climate change has been eroding a part of our “sense of place” for those of us who include lake ice in our lives. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Invasive Insects: Impacts in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Insects can cause serious damage by feeding on crops\, and insect species that have been introduced from other countries can often cause the most serious economic damage. This webinar will cover some of the basic biology and ecology of invasive species and explain why they are able to outbreak so severely in new areas. We will also discuss different ways of responding to introductions of new pest species using examples from past introductions as case examples of management methods developed to cope with new pests. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Using Wetlands as Solutions to Reduce Flood Damage Risks in the Lake Superior Basin
DESCRIPTION:To help communities find cost-effective solutions to their flooding and infrastructure problems\, the Wisconsin Wetlands Association (WWA) is aiming to promote and demonstrate the concept of Natural Flood Management (NFM) in the Lake Superior Basin. NFM is a watershed-based approach for implementing ‘slow the flow’ practices that incorporate natural river and landscape processes to store water and limit the erosive energy of runoff. In this presentation\, Kyle Magyera will highlight the work of the interdisciplinary partnership WWA has convened to study the impacts of erosion-induced wetland drainage. He’ll also describe how the partnership is identifying opportunities to reconnect floodplains and restore hydrology in headwater wetlands and streams to build climate-resilient natural infrastructure.
