SUMMARY:Soil and Water Conservation Society Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s conference theme\, “Elevating Conservation to New Heights\,” embraces the mountainous region of the location while emphasizing the shared vision held by conservationists around the world to scale our work\, repair ecosystems\, and create resilient working lands. \nThis year’s event is situated on the Front Range\, where the plains meet the Rocky Mountains and where one can see the vast impacts of a changing climate and increased populations on our natural resources. A central concern for much of this semiarid to arid region is water\, most often the lack of water. The west depends upon irrigation for crop production\, which depletes both surface water and groundwater supplies. Additionally\, competition between urban and agricultural land and water uses has increased as populations and cities grow. Other challenges pressing to the region include wind erosion\, high soil salinity\, rangeland soil health\, brush control\, and wildfire impacts. Here\, the possibilities for partnerships to elevate soil health and water conservation are not only endless\, but necessary. Regional sessions and tours will provide a space to share the latest projects and tools addressing impacts of a changing climate and increased populations on the natural resources of the area. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Our History Meets Our Future - Land Conservation and Climate Resilience in the Coon Valley Watershed
DESCRIPTION:Almost 90 years ago Coon Creek was the site of America’s first watershed level soil conservation project. Hundreds of farmers participated in novel practices such as contour stripping\, alternate cropping\, wildlife plantings\, and runoff management\, and helped establish new farming methods still in evidence today. Fast forward to today\, and the Coon Valley watershed has been ground zero for some of the region’s most destructive flood events of the last decade. \nThe tour will explore the lands where Coon Valley made conservation history. We’ll tour farms and lands in Vernon and Monroe County where today’s land stewards are meeting new challenges caused by climate change. Our tour leaders Bob Micheel\, Ben Wojahn\, and Curt Meine bring together a unique wealth of conservation experience and conservation history. We’ll end the tour with shade and refreshments where we’ll continue the day-long discussion of what yesterday’s lessons and today’s challenges demand from all of us as conservationists. \nInfo here.
