This webinar will highlight projects in the national environmental markets and conservation finance priority area of the Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program. This program was established to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative conservation approaches and technologies for U.S. producers on farms, ranches, and forest land. CIG projects lead to the transfer of conservation technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches to agriculture producers and the private sector. In addition, the projects often help NRCS with updating or changing manuals and guides, and modernizing conservation standards. In general, the program will fund pilot projects, demonstrations and research. Join us to learn about two fascinating CIG funded projects: Ducks Unlimited's Wetland Carbon Feasibility Analysis, and the Xerces Society's Bee Better Certified program.
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center. Contact Jennifer Ryan, Science & Technology Training Library content manager, for more information about this webinar.
