SUMMARY:Dam Removal Prioritization with Multiple Objectives
DESCRIPTION:Proactive and transparent decision making about the long-term management of dams is critical for successfully managing this aging infrastructure and presents an opportunity to apply Engineering with Nature principles to the end of the infrastructure lifecycle. This webinar will provide an overview of the state of dams and dam removals in the US\, present results from the review of existing decision support tools and introduce a web application developed to support structured decision making for dams. \nLaura Catherine Naslund is a PhD candidate in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. Her current research examines the contribution of small dams and their reservoirs to greenhouse gas emissions from freshwaters. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Farmland Forever: Agricultural Conservation Easements
DESCRIPTION:You’ve worked very hard to steward your land\, build the soil\, raise your family\, and to feed your community. The land where you live and work is central to that. Join our conversation on December 15th to explore how to preserve your land and your legacy in perpetuity. Agricultural conservation easements can protect your land from becoming a shopping mall or golf course while having financial benefits as well. Make sure your farmland stays farmland\, for your community and for the next generation of farmers. Hear from experienced farmer Dick Cates\, whose farm is protected by agricultural conservation easements\, and from Alison Volk\, who works with American Farmland Trust to protect farmland. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Restoring wetland amphipods to revive wetland habitats
DESCRIPTION:Amphipods are important wetland invertebrates that indicate water quality and healthy aquatic plant habitats and are a key food for waterfowl. Our research will describe new findings relating amphipods to plant diversity\, nuisance wetland fishes\, insecticide contamination\, and waterfowl wetland use. We also share our experimental attempts to ‘stock’ or do ‘conservation translocation’ of amphipods as a wetland restoration tool. Dr. Danelle Larson is a federal research ecologist and the aquatic vegetation monitoring lead for the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program. She documents how aquatic plant communities are structured and why as well as the influences of plants on other aspects of the ecosystem. Her research has spanned a variety of aquatic ecosystems to provide the best available science to inform the management and restoration of wildlife habitats. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Midwest Cover Crop Council & South Dakota Soil Health Coalition Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Midwest Cover Crops Council seeks to significantly increase the amount of continuous living cover on the Upper Midwestern agricultural landscape. From cities to the countryside\, this transition in landscape design will produce numerous ecological benefits\, including improvements in water\, air and soil quality. As the public grows increasingly aware of our collective ecological footprint and its relationship to climate change and water quality\, the effort to add living cover to our landscape can generate new sources of renewable energy\, mitigate greenhouse gases\, reduce the use of agricultural chemicals\, and provide novel income streams for rural communities. In an era where the Mississippi River Basin and Great Lakes watershed suffer from serious environmental degradation\, this shift in agricultural systems can play a significant and positive role in revitalizing and restoring our lakes\, rivers\, fields\, and communities. To effectively achieve our aim of broad adoption of cover crops by farmers\, we will build a vital and effective regional collaboration of agencies\, individuals and the general public. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Renew Wisconsin Energy Summit
DESCRIPTION:The enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) opens a new chapter in the transition to a clean energy future. Departing from its own history of advancing incremental\, bite-sized initiatives to advance clean energy at the margins\, Congress stepped up and delivered sweeping legislation commensurate with the climate challenge at hand. The IRA provides a systematic and interwoven tapestry of policies for accelerating and sustaining private investments in clean energy deployment\, manufacturing\, and workforce development over the next ten years. The intention of this law is to build an entire economy out of the clean energy transformation that will occur in all 50 states. Our 2023 summit\, titled “Sizing up the Clean Energy Transformation\,” will take a close look at the forces unleashed by this landmark law and assess their impact on Wisconsin’s energy landscape. \nInfo here.
