SUMMARY:In The Life Of Wasps: Hunters\, Pollinators\, Masons\, And More
DESCRIPTION:This event will be recorded and posted to: The Xerces Society YouTube channel\n\n\n\nJoin us to learn more about the diverse lives of wasps! Pollinator Conservation Specialists\, Jennifer Hopwood and Rae Powers will outline the roles of wasps\, highlight some key groups\, outline conservation measures\, and address concerns about wasps. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \n\nJennifer Hopwood – Senior Pollinator Conservation Specialist\, NRCS Partner Staff Support\, Roadside Specialist – Xerces Society\nJennifer provides resources and training for pollinator and beneficial insect habitat management and restoration in a variety of landscapes. She oversees a team of four USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service partner biologists and works closely with the NRCS. Jennifer has authored a number of publications and articles\, and is co-author of several books\, including Farming with Native Beneficial Insects\, 100 Plants to Feed the Bees\, and a roadside revegetation manual. Jennifer has a master’s degree in entomology from the University of Kansas. Along with work as a research specialist conducting invertebrate field research and identification\, Jennifer was an instructor in biology and environmental science at Iowa State University and Des Moines Area Community College prior to joining Xerces in 2009. \n\nRae Powers – Pollinator Conservation Specialist\, NRCS Partner Biologist\, Nebraska and South Dakota – Xerces Society\nRae is a Nebraska native with a bachelor’s of science in environmental studies and a master’s of science in ecology from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Her previous environmental work has focused on the function and diversity of the prairie ecosystem; researching the impacts of restoration\, management\, and soils; and experiencing the joys and trials of native plant production. Currently\, Rae works with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff and landowners in Nebraska and South Dakota to create and protect pollinator habitat using farm bill programs. Her environmental work has taken her to the shores of Alaska with the National Wildlife Refuge system\, the lakes of northern Minnesota as a canoe guide\, and\, most recently\, to the wide prairies of Midwest. Her time with the Nebraska Natural Heritage program exposed her to the array of rare and endangered species found in grassland ecosystems\, and her work with The Nature Conservancy and the native seed farm Prairie Legacy\, Inc. focused on the function and diversity of the mixed-grass prairie. When she’s not out in the field\, Rae can often be found reading library books\, at the dog park\, or planting wildflowers in the front y

SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day for Mexico\, Central and South America\, and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:World Migratory Bird Day is an extension of Interntaional Migratory Bird Day\, which focused on the Western Hemispere and started in 1993. Continuing the tradition with IMBD\, WMBD celebrates and brings attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas – bird migration. It includes 700 events and programs dedicated to introducing the public to migratory birds and ways to conserve them. \nAlthough Migratory Bird Day is officially celebrated on the Second Saturday in October for Mexico\, Cenral and South America\, and the Carribean\, as migrating birds return to wintering sites\, birds do not all migrate at the same time. To provide the opportunity to observe birds on stopover sites as they journey\,  you are encouraged to celebrate when the timing is best at your location. WMBD programs and events are hosted nearly every month of the year. \nEvery day is Bird Day!

SUMMARY:Western Butterflies and Lost Species in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Monitoring is essential to our understanding of insects in the modern era\, the Anthropocene\, and monitoring comes in many different forms and serves different purposes. Join Matt Forister\, professor in the Biology Department at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, as he discusses working with North America’s longest-running butterfly monitoring project across Northern California\, and presents major findings with respect to the impacts of climate change and pesticides on butterfly populations. He will also talk about data from projects supported by community scientists\, which are going to be of increasing importance in the coming years. Finally\, Matt will discuss new efforts to organize information on species that appear to be lost\, but\, with effort from scientists and the public\, might be found again. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM MT / 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET \n  \n\nMatt Forister is a professor of biology and insect ecology in the Biology Department at the University of Nevada\, Reno. He has studied butterflies and other insects in the western US for the last 20 years\, and has published more than 100 journal articles and book chapters on issues that include insects adapting to exotic plants and butterflies responding to a changing climate. One of the main concerns for Forister and his graduate students is the collection of data at sites in the Sierra Nevada that have been studied for almost 50 years\, a project originally started by Art Shapiro of UC Davis.
