SUMMARY:Barrier Removal and Aquatic Organism Passage in Lake Systems
DESCRIPTION:Aquatic species need to move\, oftentimes migrating between different ecosystems and locations throughout their lives. Lakes provide crucial habitat for many species but sometimes the connections between lakes and other systems are blocked – either by a physical barrier like a dam or undersize road culvert\, or by an abiotic barrier like unsuitable water temperatures or poor water quality. This webinar will introduce how different barriers impact aquatic organisms and how barrier removal reconnects critical pathways to support resilient and self-sustaining populations\, often benefitting the human communities connected to these systems. Case studies from the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership will be showcased to demonstrate success of barrier removal projects within lake systems and the response in aquatic organism passage. \n\nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Visible and invisible mending: An intersection of art and ecology
DESCRIPTION:Ecological restoration\, the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem\, is a process of mending. In mending\, there is much promise –- for both lands and people. Nancy Aten’s work practicing ecological restoration\, especially involving wetlands\, interacts with her work as a monotype printmaker — especially around this idea of mending. Join this Wetland Coffee Break to learn more about Nancy’s work and how these domains interact for her. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Identifying Raptors in Fall Migration in Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this course is to learn to identify and monitor raptors during migration. We will especially focus on learning how to identify raptors in flight; that is how we are most likely to see them during their autumn migration. Many field guides are useful for identifying a perched raptor\, but the birds when seen in flight can look quite different from images in standard bird field guides\, and their appearance can be confusing at first. \nInfo here.
