SUMMARY:Pollinator Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Pollinator Week 2023 \nJune 19-25\, 2023 \nLearn more here! \nPollinator Partnership is excited to announce that the official Pollinator Week website has been updated and is now live! Pollinator Week will take place June 19-25 this year. Visit our website to download the official 2023 Pollinator Week logos and social media graphics\, register your activities on the new event map\, and download our toolkits and educational resources. \nThis Pollinator Week we will be emphasizing the connections between climate and pollinators. Pollinator populations are decreasing because their food and homes are disappearing\, diseases have increased\, and rising temperatures and natural disasters are affecting their ability to survive – all of which are related to climate change. These are big problems and the efforts that are made around North America and globally during Pollinator Week raises awareness for conservation and can help provide real solutions for the pollinators we all love.

SUMMARY:WHC: From Pest to Pesto: Four Invasive Species You Can Eat!
DESCRIPTION:WHC: From Pest to Pesto: Four Invasive Species You Can Eat! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTue\, Aug 29\, 2023  \n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CDT \n\n\n\n\nRegister for the webinar HERE! \nInvasive plant and animal species can have a devastating effect on ecosystems\, as they outcompete native species for resources and proliferate without any natural predators or controls. Not only do invasive species pose a threat to biodiversity — with 42% of threatened or endangered species at risk because of invasives — but they can also create safety issues for employees and community members. Removing invasive species allows native species to thrive and restores the balance of the ecosystem – but once you’ve hand-pulled those invasive weeds or netted that invasive fish\, did you know you can eat some of them? In this webinar\, WHC staff will share several simple recipes incorporating invasive species found in various parts of the U.S. Learn how to reuse invasive plant and animal species in a way that is good for the environment — and your stomach! What you’ll learn: The importance of removing invasive species Tips for identifying potential invasives A few recipe ideas that utilize invasive plants and animals Who should take this webinar: Corporate conservation programs focused on removing invasive species People interested in foraging for invasive flora and fauna Anyone who wants to try an interesting new recipe Presenters: Erin Allegro\, Senior Manager\, Business Development\, WHC Abigail McBride\, Consultant\, WHC Melissa Scheiber\, Senior Manager\, Events\, WHC Megan Thomas\, Manager\, Content\, WHC

DESCRIPTION:Compensatory Mitigation: Regulatory Landscape \nWednesday\, September 13th\, 2023 \n2:00-3:00PM CDT \nRegister here! \nNote: This is the first webinar in a four-part series co-hosted by the Renewable Wildlife Energy Institute (REWI) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Click the above link to learn more. \nThe initial webinar will focus on the regulatory mechanisms that determine requirements for compensation. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) both require compensatory mitigation for individual species if adverse impacts occur at wind energy facilities. Experts will present U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state-specific policies and regulations\, including recent policy updates for compensatory mitigation under the ESA\, that influence the implementation of compensation measures. Some examples of on-the-ground implementation will also be provided\, including one for California Condor. \nModerator: Shilo Felton\, REWI \nSpeakers: \nShauna Everett (USFWS\, Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office)\nMatthew Stuber (USFWS\, Division of Migratory Birds)\nPeter Sanzenbacher (USFWS\, Palm Springs Fish and Wildlife Office)\nKatrina Smith (California Department of Fish and Wildlife) \n

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Bee City USA - In the Life of Bees: Nesting in Darkness
DESCRIPTION:In the Life of Bees: Nesting in Darkness \nThursday\, October 19 \n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CDT \nRegister here! \nWhen you think of bees\, you probably imagine the things they do on sunny days\, like flying around and pollinating flowers. But this is only half of the story\, as most of the 20\,000 species of bees found around the world nest belowground and spend the majority of their lives in darkness. What are they doing underground? How do they navigate their burrows and communicate with other bees? What happens when it rains? There are many interesting questions surrounding this lifestyle\, and also plenty of uncertainties remaining to be resolved about subterranean living. In this webinar\, we will learn about the diversity of ways that bees live and reproduce belowground\, and we’ll ponder some of those unsolved mysteries. We’ll also talk about how the belowground lifestyle affects threats to bees\, such as exposure to pesticides and pathogens. This webinar will cover some bees you may be familiar with\, such as bumble bees\, but we’ll be focusing our time on soil-nesters who we generally know less about\, including the many solitary bees that do not live in colonies. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \nLearn more and register here today!

SUMMARY:(REWI Webinar Series) Compensatory Mitigation: Grouse Management and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Compensatory Mitigation: Grouse Management and Conservation \nFriday\, October 20th\, 2023 \n1:00-2:00PM CDT \nRegister here! \nNote: This is the third webinar in a four-part series co-hosted by the Renewable Wildlife Energy Institute (REWI) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Click the above link to learn more. \nGrouse are considered an umbrella species because of their close connection to the surrounding habitat. The prairies and sage-brush where grouse reside are disappearing as a result of many stressors\, including invasive species\, climate change\, and human development. Thus\, any new disturbance or loss of habitat can significantly impact the species. Proper siting of wind energy facilities can avoid potential impacts to the species or their habitat\, but it is likely that compensation measures will be needed to ensure there is no net loss. This webinar will bring together representatives from regulatory agencies\, industry\, conservation organizations\, and researchers to discuss the regulatory landscape that guides decision-making around wind energy development and prairie grouse\, and hear about the various mechanisms available to improve the availability of quality habitat. \nModerator: Cris Hein\, NREL \nSpeakers:  \n\nDavid Wolfe (Independent Consultant)\nKaren Tyrell (WEST\, Inc.)\nMatt Preston (Bureau of Land Management)\nKathleen Petter (Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources)
