SUMMARY:Communicating for Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on lessons and examples from the first events in this series\, we will consider strategies for making NASA citizen science project communications more inclusive. \n“Inclusive science communication” was defined in a 2020 report by the Metcalf Institute at the University of Rhode Island as “any effort to engage people in science\, tech\, engineering\, math and medicine that is grounded in inclusion\, equity\, and intersectionality.” \nProject websites\, videos\, and other online materials can attract or deter the interest of new participants. This requires making the project opportunity understandable\, which is not easy. Making participation appealing to many audiences – offering a sense of relevance\, significance\, or belonging – requires more thought. Imagining – and then articulating – what your volunteers might expect in return for their time and contributions is likewise important. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Watershed-Based Fisheries Management in the Driftless Region
DESCRIPTION:Stream fish populations reflect not only the abiotic and biotic conditions within and near the stream\, but those across the watershed. Few places is this more apparent than in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region\, which has experienced significant changes in land use\, climate\, and trout populations over the past 100 years. In this presentation\, Kirk Olson (WDNR Fisheries Biologist – La Crosse) will describe the history of conservation and trout fisheries management in the La Crosse Area and current fisheries management efforts emphasizing watershed-based fisheries management. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Restoring The Little Things That Run The World
DESCRIPTION:A recent UN report predicts that as many as 1 million species will disappear from planet earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. The most alarming part of this statistic is that we don’t seem to care\, despite the fact that a world without insects is a world without humans! So how do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators\, herbivores\, detritivores\, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems we depend on? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play\, and describe the simple changes we must make in our landscapes and our attitudes to keep insects on the ground\, in the air and yes\, on our plants. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Growing Seedlings Indoors
DESCRIPTION:Some vegetables should always be planted outside in the ground\, directly from seed (like carrots & radishes). But in our climate\, other vegetables – like tomatoes\, onions and Brussels sprouts – should be planted in pots or trays indoors\, before the weather outside has warmed up. With a good in-home set up and some careful timing\, you can grow healthy seedlings that will be ready to transplant out into your garden! Growing your own seedlings is also a great way to get some beautiful green plants into your home in late winter\, plus it’s often extremely cost-effective. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Benefits of Prairie Strips for Beneficial Insects - Pollinators\, Honeybees\, and Natural Predators
DESCRIPTION:Prairie strips are taking root as a new agricultural conservation practice across the Midwest. These strips of native perennial vegetation\, generally 30 feet or more in width\, are placed along the contour within a farm field or at the field edge to retain rainfall and capture soil and nutrient runoff. \nFor farmers and crop advisors reviewing yield data this winter\, a seeding of native perennial grasses and forbs can provide stable cover for underperforming crop acres along field borders or trouble spots. Portions of fields can now be enrolled in the new Prairie Strips CP-43 practice under the Conservation Reserve Program. \nDuring this three-part webinar series\, experienced advisors will discuss strategies for layout\, site preparation\, seeding\, and management of prairie strips to maintain efficient field operations and maximize farm profitability. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Managing your Community’s Floodplains Webinar: Increased Cost of Compliance Coverage (ICC)
DESCRIPTION:ICC coverage provides payment to help cover the cost of mitigation activities that will reduce the risk of future flood damage to a building. When a building covered by a Standard Flood Insurance Policy suffers a flood loss and is declared to be substantially or repetitively damaged\, ICC will pay up to $30\,000 to bring the building into compliance with State or community floodplain management laws or ordinances. Usually this means elevating or relocating the building so that it is above the base flood elevation (BFE). Non-residential structures may also be floodproofed. ICC coverage applies solely to buildings and only covers the cost of the compliance measures undertaken. It is filed separately from the normal flood insurance claim. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Assessing the Toxicity of PFAS Chemicals to Aquatic Organisms
DESCRIPTION:Among the many questions surrounding per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are their potential effects on aquatic communities. While much of the initial research effort has focused on ecological effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)\, there is a much wider range of PFAS that can occur in the environment―both as a result of more recently developed compounds and the breakdown products of other PFAS. Effective management of PFAS in aquatic systems requires understanding of the potential effects of a more complete range of PFAS chemicals. \nEPA is working to explore the relationships between PFAS toxicity and chemical structure for several aquatic species to help identify and predict the toxicity of PFAS and PFAS mixtures of greatest ecological concern in support of the development of water quality guidelines. This involves measuring the toxicity of PFAS with varying structural features\, determining variation in sensitivity across species\, and grouping PFAS chemicals by their inferred toxic modes of action (MoA). This webinar will discuss initial findings that sublethal toxicity is strongly related to fluorinated chain length as well as the structure of the non-fluorinated “head” group\, and that differences in toxicity of certain PFAS across structures suggest that multiple PFAS MoAs likely exist. \nInfo here.
