Managing for wildlife has multiple benefits, including more economic opportunities for landowners, greater land productivity and sustainability, and clean water. Managing for quail requires maintaining sufficient vegetative cover on the land to provide food and shelter, which also catches more rainfall and allows water to infiltrate into the ground and allow the land to act like a ‘sponge.’ Two North Texas water districts have constructed large wetlands to efficiently purify and extend the water supply for North Texas, while at the same time creating significant wildlife habitat. These examples, along with current projects by Trinity Waters and other partners, enhances the ability for the rural lands of the Trinity River basin to meet the water needs for 45% of Texans.

Participants will explore how LCA's are used to determine which fuel pathways will meet the greenhouse gas reduction thresholds under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2). The main goal of LCA's are to identify feedstock production scenarios with the lowest environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change may also impact their populations and distribution. U.S. Forest Service Research Ecologist Susan C. Loeb, will discuss the plight of different bat species as well as the results of recent studies on the effects of forest management and other disturbances on their populations and how forest management can be used to create habitat. Loeb will also discuss a new plan to monitor bat populations at local, regional, and continental scales that will assist managers and policy makers in developing better conservation and management strategies for these important species.

The history of the Trinity River is one of severe pollution which caused the river to be labeled “septic” back in the 1960’s. Though many advances in wastewater technology and pollution control have significantly improved water quality in the river, problems still exist. To address these issues, Trinity Waters, a landowner organization, is partnering with several agencies and corporations to promote the benefits of rural land stewardship for improving the quality and quantity of water that ultimately ends up in urban faucets. An overview of watershed protection strategies will be discussed to inform participants of how these strategies can guide these efforts.

Typically, sediment is the primary pollutant of focus for forestry BMPs. This webinar provides legislative and policy background for forestry BMPs and applied research findings regarding the effectiveness of BMPs for reducing sediment from a variety of forest operational activities. Forest operational activities that will be discussed include preharvest planning, harvesting, haul roads, skid trails, decks, firelines, stream crossings, and SMZs. This webinar is designed to outline basic BMPs to persons not familiar with the general activities and to provide recent BMP research findings to practicing forestland managers.
