They are also applied by communities seeking enhanced benefits from the natural resources they manage. Ronda will provide an overview of community plans that have led to urban water projects including comprehensive plans\, park system master plans\, economic development strategic plans\, resiliency plans\, property management plans and more. Case studies from the lower Midwest will be shared to illustrate how wetlands and other water resources are being managed by communities of all sizes as green infrastructure and for other ecosystem services. \nSpeaker: Ronda Burnett URL:https://www.nalms.org/event/august-2023-webinar-conservation-planning-in-municipalities-case-studies-of-urban-wetlands-waterways/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nalms.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/aug-web-extra-picture.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230729T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230729T163000 DTSTAMP:20260405T115452 CREATED:20230615T021411Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230619T163035Z UID:26053-1690642800-1690648200@www.nalms.org SUMMARY:Creek Walk DESCRIPTION:Come with us on a hike to Walnut Creek from Brown’s Farm and learn all about the impact of this important water resource.\nDate: Saturday\, July 29\nTime: 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.\nAge: Adults and children 8 years and up\nLocation: Brown’s Farm\nSupporting Donor Fee: $5\nProgram Fee: $7 URL:https://www.nalms.org/event/creek-walk/ LOCATION:NY ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.nalms.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/awcw.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230724T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230727T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T115452 CREATED:20230616T140018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230619T162845Z UID:26119-1690185600-1690477200@www.nalms.org SUMMARY:2023 APMS 63rd Annual Meeting DESCRIPTION:We will kick things off on the evening of Monday July 24th with the President’s Reception at Punch Bowl Social\, one of Indy’s premier meeting spots.

Once each quarter\, in March\, July\, September\, and December\, the monthly SWS webinar is open for non-members to attend (and at no cost)\, as well. \nAvenir is a mixed-use development in Palm Beach Gardens\, Florida. The parent property was comprised of 4\,763 +/- acres of highly altered lands\, ditched and drained to support various agricultural uses for over 50 years. Over 50% of the property (2\,400 +/- acres) was set aside for habitat restoration\, wetland mitigation\, and conservation. This webinar focuses on the approach\, design\, and implementation of the native habitat restoration and conservation elements of the project. \nFrom a regional perspective\, the Avenir habitat restoration project is uniquely situated in the broader landscape such that the benefits to the regional ecology are much greater than the sum of its parts. The parent property was the only remaining privately owned parcel in a regional continuum of publicly owned and managed conservation properties extending from Lake Okeechobee to the Atlantic Ocean. For over 40 years prior to the Avenir project\, the parent property was the subject of multiple conservation acquisition efforts by local\, state\, and federal entities. This “missing link” in the regional ecology now functions as a wildlife corridor connection\, an enhancement to water storage and water quality for the Northern Everglades system\, and renewed habitat for a diverse assemblage of wildlife including several species listed as threatened or endangered. Of significant importance is the fact that this has been achieved without expenditure of public funds for acquisition\, restoration\, and long-term management. \nWe will describe the base conditions\, habitat restoration techniques\, successes\, and learning experiences in this ongoing project. A combination of invasive species eradication and hydrologic restoration actions will be discussed along with the adaptive management approaches developed as the project has progressed. \nSpeaker: Edward R.

An amphibian-centric look at restoration in geographically isolated wetlands DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for SWS members only. \nGeographically isolated wetlands provide a critical habitat for pond-breeding amphibians\, a taxa of broad conservation concern. Restoration of wetlands typically includes goals to recover the wetlands’ physiochemical\, hydrological\, and ecological functions. However\, for pond-breeding amphibians\, successful restoration should also result in sustained populations\, which is difficult to assess and infrequently reported. In this talk\, I will provide a broad overview of restoration practices addressing hydrology\, vegetation\, and ecological processes within these unique environments and across spatial scales. Then I will summarize the evidence\, and discuss the limitations\, for evaluating successful restoration within the context of amphibian conservation. Finally\, I will share some recommendations for researchers and practitioners to leverage prior successes and establish systematic data collection and dissemination. \nSpeaker: Angela Burrows URL:https://www.nalms.org/event/women-in-wetlands-section-webinar-does-restoration-work-an-amphibian-centric-look-at-restoration-in-geographically-isolated-wetlands/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.nalms.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/thumbnail-Angela-Burrow-terrapin-April-2021.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230709T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230709T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T115452 CREATED:20230615T132026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230619T163000Z UID:26064-1688918400-1688922000@www.nalms.org SUMMARY:Garden Seedlings DESCRIPTION:Each session will revolve around a topic that is sure to captivate young explorers!
