Monitoring Monarch Butterflies Webinar hosted by Idaho F&G
2025-05-28 20:00 - 22:00 | Zoom
Idaho Fish and Game needs your help to adopt milkweed patches across the Gem State and monitor the milkweed throughout summer 2025. The survey kicks off July 1 and goes through Aug. 15. Volunteer community scientists will need to check their sites one to three times during this time frame in order to document crucial information, like stem counts, health of the patch itself and count butterflies.
Fish and Game manages a very broad range of wildlife, and monarch butterflies are not exempt from these efforts. The information you collect will help the agency in any future assessments of milkweed and monarchs for any ESA listing decision.
If becoming a community scientist seems like it’ll add too much to your plate this summer, don’t sweat it. Getting signed up is super easy. Fish and Game will be hosting a virtual training webinar on Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will also be a slew of online training videos and documents to review at your leisure.

Protecting Water and Biodiversity through Corporate Stewardship
2025-05-29 12:30 - 13:30 | Zoom
Water is our most vital resource – foundational to life and the well-being of ecosystems across the globe. With more than half of the global population living within 3 kilometers of a freshwater source, increasing pressures on these resources underscore the urgent need for responsible and innovative stewardship. While the importance of water is widely recognized, deepening our understanding of its role in sustaining ecosystems is critical for guiding informed and sustainable decision making.
Join us for a dynamic discussion on how businesses are taking the lead in protecting water and biodiversity, the two essential pillars of a healthy ecosystem. Hear from sustainability leaders at Dow and Ecolab, as they share powerful, real-world projects examples, including the Loch Leven nature-based solution and Gulf Coast restoration efforts.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how innovative corporate action is making a measurable impact. We’ll wrap up the webinar with a brief Q&A session to answer your questions and spark further dialogue.
What you’ll learn:

How companies are mapping, managing, and monitoring water systems.
Importance of engaging local communities and prioritizing environmental equity and justice.
Environmental remediation with a focus on post-remediation land conservation.

Who should take this webinar:

Corporate sustainability representatives who want to align with natural resource management and impact.
Community advocates seeking to better understand the connection between water stewardship and biodiversity.
Private and public sector professionals looking for insights into nature-based solutions, cross-sector collaboration, and the long-term impact of responsible resource management.
