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
