SUMMARY:Strategies for Identifying and Managing Insect Pests
DESCRIPTION:Even though insects can cause damage to our plants\, not all of them are bad! Learn how to look for signs of insects\, why identification is required to know if an insect is beneficial or a pest\, and what you can do about it! We will also talk about different control methods and options. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Climate Readiness Assessment in Monroe County
DESCRIPTION:While climate change is a global issue\, ultimately all climate impacts are local. Climate-mediated weather events are affecting communities across Wisconsin with unique impacts driven by local factors such as topography\, geology\, land use and access to planning and preparedness resources. \nThe 2021 Monroe County Climate Readiness and Rural Economic Opportunity Assessment (CRREOA) was a pilot effort to conduct a rapid\, comprehensive assessment that brought together climate readiness and conservation-based economic opportunities at a county level. This collaborative effort was initiated in Monroe County\, with support from 10 local\, state and federal organizations. Members of the Monroe County CRREOA team will share the results of their assessment and implications for use of local climate assessments in community climate preparedness. \nInfo here.

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:Moving Rural Communities FORWARD: Future Opportunities for Rural Workforce and Rural Development Through Extension
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar you will learn about the FORWARD project\, including ways that Cooperative Extension professionals will identify and address the needs of low-income workers and employers in rural communities. You’ll hear how three pilot models are working in the rural communities of Oregon\, Arkansas\, and Indiana\, leveraging extension to build capacity to engage community stakeholders and use local data to design career pathways that provide low-income rural worker-learners with skills needed to obtain and succeed in local\, in-demand jobs that provide a path to social and economic mobility. \nThis project offers the potential for leverage and sustainable impact because it focuses on building capacity for Cooperative Extension to collaborate with their communities to address the workforce issues facing lo-resource rural communities – a high priority! \nInfo here.
