SUMMARY:Certified Wildlife Habitat Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Certified Wildlife Habitat Workshop is a unique educational opportunity for individuals and families who are interested in protecting the natural beauty and local wildlife of Indiana. Program participants will learn about native plants and animals\, explore the links between their communities and larger ecosytems\, and discover how to create wild-life friendly habitats. The workshop will be presented by Indiana Wildlife Federation’s Habitat Programs Manager Aaron Stump.\n\n\nOur native species are best suited for the soil and weather conditions in Indiana and are the perfect plants to grow in your yard. They require no fertilizer\, no pesticides\, and less water than non-native species\, all while attracting and supporting Indiana’s wildlife. Aaron’s expertise in native plants and Indiana habitats will be a great resource for anyone interested in transforming their outdoor space into wildlife oasis.

SUMMARY:Indiana Wetland Advocacy\, Preservation\, and Restoration

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

SUMMARY:Mapping Climate & Environmental Justice: Lessons Learned from Local & Regional Tools
DESCRIPTION:PARTNER EVENT: National Wildlife Federation – Federal policymakers are giving increasing focus to environmental justice mapping tools\, recognizing their potential in furthering environmental and climate justice. These tools can reveal what kinds of communities are (and aren’t) at risk from environmental hazards\, and the compounded pollution and climate burdens some communities face. These tools can also help policymakers understand where environmental justice communities are located\, and where climate impacts are being felt first and worst—information that should help inform the ambitious climate priorities of the Biden-Harris administration. \nThis webinar will highlight lessons learned from existing local and regional mapping tools and efforts to inform these current national discussions.
