Using a farm case study, participants will learn strategies to design habitat restoration projects that address multiple resource concerns simultaneously.
Using a farm case study, participants will learn strategies to design habitat restoration projects that address multiple resource concerns simultaneously. The idea is not necessarily to create a different practice or habitat project for each resource concern, but rather how to address multiple concerns within a single project. For this webinar, the case study will be a native grassland / meadow (conservation cover) restoration project adjacent to an almond orchard in California’s Central Valley. Speakers will highlight how the project was designed to improve soil health, prevent run-off into waterways, be attractive to pollinators and other beneficial insects, and sequester carbon.
