SUMMARY:Farming Native Seed for the Future: Considering Evolutionary Potential and Ecological Function
DESCRIPTION:Agricultural seed production is needed to meet ambitious restoration goals\, which will require more seeds than can be harvested from wild populations. However\, there may be direct conflicts between traits that are favorable in conventional agriculture and those that are adaptive in restoration settings\, which could have long-lasting impacts on restored communities. Here\, we review some of these evolutionary and ecological conflicts and suggest research directions needed to meld the needs of agriculturalists and restoration practitioners. Partnerships between ecologists\, engineers\, breeders\, and growers are essential to develop best practices for providing seeds for successful native species restoration. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Northeast Drought Early Warning System
DESCRIPTION:A four year (2022 – 2026) strategic action plan for the Northeast\, the Drought Early Warning System will soon be released by the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS). This plan identifies outcomes and activities that will move national and regional drought response from a reactive posture to a more proactive posture. Within NIDIS\, a regional Drought Early Warning System utilizes new and existing networks of federal\, tribal\, state\, local\, and academic partnerships to make climate and drought science accessible and useful for decision makers and stakeholders. This webinar will highlight touchpoints with the mission of the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center. These touchpoints include eco-drought research and drought monitoring\, work with indigenous peoples on climate adaptation\, improving stream flow forecasts to enhance water management and much more. As a part of the “whole of government” approach to climate resilience\, our agencies can leverage these touchpoints to address drought impacts both in the Northeast and across the nation. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Optimizing Ecosystem Service Provisioning through Tree Planting Strategies that account for Community Health and Demographics
DESCRIPTION:Increasing relevance of ecosystem services in decision-making requires interdisciplinary efforts that are grounded in community needs. The City of Cincinnati has over 300\,000 residents and would like to implement tree planting to promote resilience. To ensure resilience goals are pursued in an equitable and socially just manner\, the City of Cincinnati engaged in an interdisciplinary partnership where planners\, foresters\, GIS specialists and environmental justice scholars determined neighborhoods to prioritize for tree planting based on need for flood prevention\, heat mitigation\, and air purification. The assessment accounted for access\, susceptibility\, and equity patterns\, and integrated tree canopy\, demographic\, health\, and risk data to assess community need. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Apple Grafting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:There was a time in America when the ability to increase apple trees through grafting was common knowledge. Imagine a time when friends and neighbors shared their favorite trees freely with each other. And\, if you had a tree that was truly wonderful\, you could simply graft 10 or 20 more for your own orchard. Through the apple grafting workshop offered by Seed Savers Exchange\, those days can return. With a good knife and some practice\, anyone can graft new trees. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Whooping crane conservation in Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:Join Whooping Crane Outreach Coordinator Stephanie Schmidt to learn about the International Crane Foundation’s whooping crane reintroduction and community building efforts in Wisconsin and beyond. The whooping crane is a charismatic wetland species and a large white bird around 5 feet tall\, making it the tallest bird in North America. In the 1940s the population reached an all-time low of around 20 birds\, but through federal protections and collaborative efforts\, this population is now around 800 individuals in the wild and in captivity. The International Crane Foundation is also working with communities in the Whooping crane’s flyways to create stewardship and guardianship for these incredible birds. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Soil Talk 2.0 for Women Farmland Owners
DESCRIPTION:Do you need to have better conversations with your farmer? Learn how equipment\, weather\, and the timing of planting and termination can impact your soil health journey. Learn how better soil health is like insurance for your topsoil. We’ll dig into cover crops\, strip-till or no-till\, new types of soil testing\, and how you can discuss them with your farmer. A surprise guest will help you test your skills! \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:The Policy Context for Bioenergy
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive discussion of relevant policies for forest bioenergy must include the entire life cycle of the material\, including land use and feedstock production (i.e.\, harvesting woody biomass) as well as energy production. The use of the residuals of wood product manufacturing has a long history as a sustainable thermal bioenergy source\, but new bioenergy processes (e.g.\, the use of wood pellets) have emerged. To achieve deep decarbonization\, providing alternatives to fossil fuel use as well as promoting carbon sequestration will be necessary. The net benefit of forest bioenergy as an alternative to fossil fuel use has generated controversy\, not least of which is how the carbon flows through the life cycle. Policy vehicles that address land use issues\, carbon accounting\, Federal vs state-based oversight and the positioning of forest bioenergy as a renewable fuel will be explored. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Value Chains - Regenerative Grazing Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:Join the Embarras Grazing Partnership for a two-part series examining value chains and the profitability potential of pasture-based livestock production! \nIn Part 1\, we will discuss value chains for pasture-based livestock. Jodee Smith\, Assistant Director of the IU Food Institute\, will share the top ways producers can develop or join a market-based food system. We’ll also get a first-hand account from grazier Joseph Fischer of Fischer Farms. Joseph will discuss their operation and how they have found their place in the value chain. \nInfo here.
