SUMMARY:Cleaning Up: Involving Community and Ecology in Remediation Projects
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, remediation efforts are designed to protect communities from the impacts of historical contamination through cleanup efforts. Land managers and agencies alike are increasingly recognizing the value of incorporating biodiversity and community considerations into both the cleanup itself as well as the end-use of the land. In this webinar you will hear from our expert speaker about selecting these kinds of beneficial outcomes for remediation sites\, featuring a case study of a landfill where both community and ecological considerations are being incorporated into the site’s use. \nYou’ll learn: • The kinds of ecological end uses that can be pursued as part of remedial efforts • What tools are available to land managers to model potential ecological outcomes and make decisions about the best ones to incorporate into a remediation site • How to work with the community to select and implement ecosystem services and beneficial end uses for remediation sites \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Entomological Society of America: Annual Meeting: Entomology 2020
DESCRIPTION:Orlando\, FL\nSubmissions for Program Symposia are now open and due Thursday\, January 31\, 2020.\nSubmissions should reflect the meeting theme\, Entomology for All. Organizers are encouraged to be innovative and thoughtful in proposing appealing sessions that are inclusive and display the diversity of entomological science in terms of speaker locality and background (gender\, ethnicity\, career stage\, etc.)\, professional affiliation (ESA members and non-members)\, professional identity (traditional entomologists or “individuals who work with arthropods but do not consider themselves entomologists”)\, and showcase international and/or cross-disciplinary collaborations. \nThis is a competitive process. We encourage organizers to be creative\, inventive and thoughtful in creating session proposals that are engaging and forward-focused. Failure to provide a comprehensive proposal may result in your submission being left out of the 2020 program. \nProgram Symposia will be announced by Thursday\, February 28. \nMore info here.
