SUMMARY:[Western Monarch Science Group] Western Monarch Count announcement
DESCRIPTION:[Western Monarch Science Group] Western Monarch Count announcement \nJanuary 30\, 2025 \n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM \nJoin the Xerces Society\’s western monarch team for the highly anticipated announcement of Fall 2024 monarch count tallies! Every year since 1997\, community scientists and conservation professionals have joined forces via the Western Monarch Count (WMC) to survey overwintering western monarchs and their habitats. Surveys are conducted at the same time each year while monarchs are clustered\, allowing scientists to compare population estimates across time and geography. Hear all about this season\’s findings\, volunteer highlights\, updates related to the recent ESA proposed listing\, and more! We hope to see you there. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Getting into the Weeds: Sorting out the details of soil conditions & management considerations
DESCRIPTION:Getting into the Weeds: Sorting out the details of soil conditions & management considerations \nFebruary 12\, 2025 \n11:00 AM CT \nUnderstanding soils – what they are\, how they function\, how they degrade\, and how to steward them back to health – empowers restoration professionals to design and implement more resilient and self-sustaining ecosystem restoration projects. This series of classes will build from the ground up a holistic knowledge of soils that will enable students to understand how and when to choose soil stewardship techniques and most importantly why they work based on soil science. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:UAA Webinar: Evaluating the use of eDNA as a monitoring technique for pollinators on rights-of-way
DESCRIPTION:UAA Webinar: Evaluating the use of eDNA as a monitoring technique for pollinators on rights-of-way \nMarch 19\, 2025 \n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CDT \nUtility Rights-of-Way (ROW) comprise significant landholdings in the U.S. and may serve as important habitat for pollinators. Pollinators are typically surveyed on ROWs using traditional techniques such as trapping or visual observations. However\, environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging technique to detect species and monitor biodiversity through traces of DNA left behind in the environment and may provide a new method for assessing pollinators. This webinar will share results from several field studies evaluating the use of eDNA for pollinator monitoring. \nRegister Here!
