Designing Habitat for Multiple Benefits: Wildlife, Soil, Water and Carbon

Wild Farm Alliance is pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar we are presenting along with Xerces Society, NRCS, and UC Davis Extension.

What: Designing Habitat for Multiple Benefits: Wildlife, Soil, Water and Carbon
When: Jan 24, 2017, 11:00 am (PST)

Using a farm case study, participants will learn strategies to design habitat restoration projects that address multiple resource concerns simultaneously. The idea is not necessarily to create a different practice or habitat project for each resource concern, but rather how to address multiple concerns within a single project.

For this webinar, the case study will be a native grassland / meadow (conservation cover) restoration project adjacent to an almond orchard in California’s Central Valley. Speakers will highlight how the project was designed to improve soil health, prevent run-off into waterways, be attractive to pollinators and other beneficial insects, and sequester carbon.

Presenters Include:

Jessa Kay Cruz, Senior Pollinator Conservation Specialist, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Sacramento, CA

Jo Ann Baumgartner, Executive Director, Wild Farm Alliance, Watsonville, CA

Karen Lowell, Area 2 Agronomist, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Salinas, CA

Louise Jackson, Professor and Extension Specialist, Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, University of California Division of Agricultural and Natural Resources, Davis, CA
