Join us for a conversation on the role of forests in addressing climate change and how technology can make forest carbon projects more credible. Topics being presented are as follows: The rationale for investing in innovative forest projects How to participate in innovative solutions for climate change The top criteria for vetting forest carbon solutions […]
Explore the impacts of changing weather and climatic patterns on the Great Lakes and specifically on the Lake Michigan migratory flyway. Our keynote will provide an overarching overview of the climate crisis and our panel of experts will provide the most recent scientific data. Our interactive afternoon session with LMS practitioners will provide the tools […]
This workshop will bring together natural resource managers from across the lakeshore to dig into the effects of climate change on forests and forest carbon; develop strategies for adapting our forests to climate change; and work toward shared goals of diverse, healthy forests, and migratory bird habitats.
The climate is changing, and it is impacting forests in many ways. The magnitude of continued accelerated change requires adaptation strategies aim to maintain healthy and productive forests. As forests are placed under additional stress, it is also critical that we consider how wildlife may respond to a shifting climate and important forest habitats that they depend on.
It is critical to maintain and support practices available to farms that help make them more resilient to the effects of a changing climate. Improved feed management has the capacity to save money through greater feed efficiency. Combining this with better manure management also offers farms the opportunity to better adapt to extreme weather, while […]
This webinar will discuss how the increasing unpredictability of seasonal environmental cues in lakes will lead to mistimed ecological interactions and evolutionary selection pressures that may reduce the response diversity of ecosystems.
This webinar is intended to help technicians and educators work with landowners to help them better understand and navigate methods for reducing GHG emissions from soil through soil carbon and N management while also addressing other social or economic considerations.
Tune in to hear lessons learned along with program deliverables and impacts. This webinar will also cover the issue of methane production in beef cattle and some specific techniques that either increase or decrease production per day, per body weight, and per production outcome (like weight gain).
How do species adapt to changing climates and how can we help them? Some of our best examples come from the end of the last ice age when the world warmed by 5-10F. Learn how past climates and ecosystems are studied, what has been learned, and insights for today. Learn more here.
Discovery Farms Programs in Wisconsin and Minnesota are excited to bring to you a virtual conference series this winter. Join them on seven Wednesdays for one hour each week as we cover topics like water quality, soil health, climate change, and more!
It’s a complex world, and the need for clear communication has never been greater. This learning series provides opportunities to build your science communication skills and reflect on how to tell meaningful stories about your work. Hosted by the Lake Superior Reserve’s Coastal Training Program and the Lake Superior Collaborative, this series is designed to help you gain […]
In agricultural watersheds, shifting climate patterns present an immediate and localized risk to both farm productivity and downstream aquatic ecosystems. During this webinar, Dr. Mark Williams of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service will present research exploring long-term trends in rainfall amount, intensity and timing within the Maumee River-Western Lake Erie Basin. The research findings indicate that […]
