SUMMARY:Cranes Over Indiana a IWF Member Gathering
DESCRIPTION:An evening with Lauren Benedict\, International Crane Foundation\, learning about Indiana’s conservation of Sandhill and Whooping Cranes. \n \nJoin us after work for a casual gathering with food/beverages\, comradery\, music\, and a presentation from the International Crane Foundation about Indiana’s role in protecting our migrating cranes and their habitats. \nCranes over Indiana: Indiana’s wetlands are home to Sandhill Cranes and endangered Whooping Cranes. In the not-so-distant past\, both Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes faced near extinction throughout North America as they battled with increasing threats of unregulated hunting and habitat loss. Thanks to widespread conservation efforts\, Sandhill Cranes are now one of the most populous crane species in the world\, and Whooping Crane populations\, while still endangered\, are slowly growing. Today Indiana residents see around 60\,000-80\,000 Sandhill Cranes and 30 Whooping Cranes each year! Unfortunately\, Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes continue to face threats in Indiana and across their flyway. Following this presentation\, you will be able to identify Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes\, know the history of both species\, understand the current work our crane conservation partners are doing to protect cranes in Indiana and throughout their flyways and find out how you can be an ambassador for cranes in Indiana as a volunteer and citizen scientist. \n \n                                       Agenda \n5:00 PM – 5:45 PM\, Welcome + food/beverage + music \n5:45 PM – 6:30 PM\, Cranes Over Indiana with Lauren Benedict\, Outreach Biologist Assistant\, Indiana \n6:30 PM – 8:00 PM\, Music + mingle \nNot an IWF member?

SUMMARY:PARTNER EVENT - Indiana Wetlands II: Where are we now? Virtual Forum
DESCRIPTION:Much has happened since the first co-hosted forum with IWF Affiliate: White River Alliance and Purdue in February. First\, the passage of SEA 389. This was followed by the establishment of Governor Holcomb’s Wetland Taskforce. \nThe repeal of the Navigable Waters Protection Rule\, a 2020 rule that narrowed the definition of “Waters of the United States (WOTUS)” which left isolated wetlands and ephemeral streams at risk. In this follow up forum\, researchers from several Indiana universities join with environmental management professionals and policy experts to discuss wetland hydrology and ecology\, how wetland footprints are affected by changing legislation\, and how resulting ecosystem services are lost or gained.  The speakers will also address recent legislation and identify future management issues. \nRegistration required. Register here.\nPlatform: WebEx
