Participants will gain an understanding of conservation pre-planning activities with an emphasis on assembling data from available resources before going out to the field.
Sound conservation planning is imperative to ensure treatment of natural resources to a sustainable level. With an ever increasing competition for time to adequately plan, conservationists need to be well prepared in advance to meeting with customers on the landscape. Participants in this webinar will have a better understanding of the resources available for them to be more efficient and effective in the planning process. Discussion will include locating and using in-office information such as GIS tools, maps, aerial photography, soils descriptions, FOTG information, etc. to assist with resource inventory and tools to take to the field for identifying opportunities and inventorying resources (clinometer, hand level, plant ID books, camera, etc.).
This webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
