SUMMARY:Wildlife Habitat Council: Easy Steps to Start Using Drones to Manage Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST \nMonitoring for invasive species is an important aspect of habitat management\, but can be challenging on large or inaccessible areas. Drone imagery can save many man-hours of survey time\, typically done on foot\, and often in remote areas. Their ability to fly slow and low provides high quality imagery and information in a very site-specific manner. Join us on this webinar to learn how the latest in drone technology can facilitate remote monitoring for invasive species. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow to use new drone software and cameras for remote monitoring of invasive species\nWhat data you can expect to gather when using drones for monitoring\nHow to use the data to make informed decisions about invasive species management\n\nMore info/Register here.

SUMMARY:MJV Webinar: The Florida Monarch Population
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:   \nJaret C. Daniels\, Ph.D.\, Curator and Program Director\, McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity\, Florida Museum of Natural History \nMany efforts to enhance monarch recovery have focused on priority regions including California\, along the I-35 corridor from Texas to Minnesota\, and in the agricultural Midwest. Expanding the geographic focus to the Deep South\, including Florida with its unique monarch populations and often equally unique issues\, is needed for effective conservation planning. This webinar will provide an overview of the monarch populations in Florida\, some of the unique issues facing Florida monarchs\, and key takeaways from recent studies addressing long-term trends\, roadside habitat\, and the proliferation of commercially available non-native milkweed. Additional information will be provided on a few collaborative initiatives planned or underway. \nTo register click here.

SUMMARY:ELA Mid-Atlantic Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Delaware Center for Horticulture\, 1810 N Dupont Street\nWilmington\, DE 19806\n8:30 am EST – 4:00 pm EST \nAs native bees struggle alongside European honey bees for survival\, their reduced numbers put natural ecosystems and agricultural systems at risk. And bees are not the only pollinators that are suffering. Beetles\, butterflies\, ants\, birds\, and bats all help with pollination and all are experiencing environmental stresses. \nIn response\, landscape professionals and concerned homeowners across the country are learning more about the habitat needs of all pollinators – and using that knowledge to make planting decisions. \nJoin ELA to learn from four pollinator experts what we can do to support pollinators. \nMore info/Purchase Tickets here.
