SUMMARY:International Monarch Monitoring Blitz
DESCRIPTION:The International Monarch Monitoring Blitz aims to provide a valuable snapshot for scientists of monarch population status across the monarch migration paths in Canada\, Mexico\, and the United States. \nThe Blitz is an initiative from the Trinational Monarch Conservation Partnership\, created through the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. \nEach country has something to learn from monitoring monarchs during the same time period\, and comparing these observations year-to-year. Observations reported in Canada and the northern United States provide scientists with a snapshot of the peak breeding monarch population and the presence of milkweed. Reports from the southern United States document whether early migration and breeding are occurring. Data collected in Mexico document any monarch breeding taking place in traditionally migratory areas. \nMore info here

SUMMARY:EPA Webinar: Going Wild: The Conservation Co-benefits of Green Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:1:00 – 2:30 PM\, EDT \nImpervious surfaces such as sidewalks\, roofs\, streets\, and parking lots are ubiquitous throughout the built environment. Stormwater runoff originating from these surfaces is a significant source of water pollution\, and the impact of that pollution creates repercussions that ripple beyond the human sphere. Wildlife that depend on clean\, abundant water resources—including species that are of recreational and economic value—cannot thrive in contaminated water bodies. Green infrastructure offers tools that can manage stormwater runoff\, improve water quality for wildlife\, restore wildlife habitat to the built environment\, and invite beneficial species such as pollinating insects\, birds\, and fish back to the places we live.  \nIn this webcast\, Mark Grey with the Seattle’s Clean Lake Union and Rebecca Masterman with the University of Minnesota’s Bee Squad will discuss how green infrastructure practices can restore wildlife habitat to the urban landscape and improve water quality for both humans and wildlife alike. \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Iowa Prairie Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Our world is changing rapidly\, and the highly fragmented nature of Tallgrass Prairie will greatly reduce the ability of this ecosystem to respond to these changes. As a result\, the future of Tallgrass Prairie will depend heavily on our actions in the coming decades. The 2019 Iowa Prairie Conference\, with a theme of “Ensuring the Future of Prairie\,” will be held at Central College\, in Pella\, on August 8 to 10\, 2019. The Iowa Prairie Conference is open to anyone interested in prairies. Natural resource managers\, educators\, students\, and prairie enthusiasts will gather for education\, discussion\, field trips\, and networking opportunities. \nMore info/Register here \n

SUMMARY:ROWHWG: A Series of Guiding Webinars on Habitat Implementation: Using the Pollinator Habitat Scorecard
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will introduce the recently finalized Pollinator Scorecard developed by the Rights-of-Way as Habitat Working Group’s Metrics & Targets Task Force. The Pollinator Scorecard provides a method for evaluating habitat quality and the compatibility of vegetation management with pollinator habitat on \nenergy and transportation lands. Key topics will include: an overview of the multi-tiered scorecard\, step-by-step instructions on using the scorecard\, and other considerations and recommendations.  \nOur panel of presenters will include the Technical Team that led the Pollinator Scorecard development: \n– Iris Caldwell\, Program Manager – Sustainable Landscapes\, University of Illinois at Chicago \n– Dan Salas\, Senior Principal\, Cardno \n– Erik Anderson\, Senior Associate\, Environmental Incentives \n– Alison Cariveau\, Science Coordinator\, Monarch Joint Venture \n– Sydney Mucha\, Conservation Planning Manager\, Wildlife Habitat Council \n– Hannah Stout\, Conservation Entomologist\, Penn State University \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:MJV Webinar- Urban Monarch Butterfly Conservation
DESCRIPTION:1pm Central\, 12pm Mountain\, 11am Pacific \nWe often think of urban areas as dead zones for wildlife habitat. However\, cities can play a surprising role in conserving monarchs and pollinators. In this webinar\, we\’ll hear success stories and how you can get involved in conserving monarchs in cities from the Field Museum\’s Urban Monarch Conservation program\, the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge\, and the National Wildlife Federation\’s Mayor\’s Monarch Pledge. \nPresenters:  \nAbigail Derby-Lewis\, Senior Conservation Ecologist and Senior Program Manager\, The Field Museum\nPatrick Fitzgerald\, Senior Director of Community Wildlife\, The National Wildlife Federation \nTo register click here. \nWe recommend conducting a browser and basic network test at the WebEx test meeting site: https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html The WebEx link for the MJV/NCTC webinar will be provided via e-mail to registered participants the day prior to the webinar.
