Webinar: Wildlife Road Crossings

In this webinar, we’ll dive into the science and planning of wildlife road crossings. First, we’ll look at the field science of road ecology and what we’ve learned from years of camera trapping along roads and inside/under bridges and culverts. We’ll also look at the computer models in Vermont Conservation Design to understand these concepts in a landscape context. Lastly, we'll explore how Vermont towns are improving and planning for wildlife movement across local roads. 
Presenters: Jens Hilke & Andy Wood

Webinar: Enhancing your Backyard, Back Forty & Beyond

In this webinar, we’ll focus on how private landowners can learn more about managing their property whether it’s a large parcel or confined to the backyard. We’ll look at concepts like improving pollinator habitat, enhancing wildlife habitat, and releasing mast trees while briefly using BioFinder to learn more about what ecological concepts might be at play.

Webinar: Woods, Waters & Wildlife putting the pieces together

In this webinar, we’ll focus on the natural community and species scale components that are present on private lands. We’ll learn more about available data in BioFinder and see what that looks like on the ground and how an understanding of these issues might affect how you manage your land.

Webinar: Seeing Beyond Boundaries: Understanding Your Land At Different Scales

In this webinar, we’ll help landowners see their parcel at different scales. We’ll begin on the ground, talking with landowners about their stories of the land, then we’ll zoom out to use BioFinder to see the ecological context in which the parcel sits, looking at how that can provide additional information for land management.

Webinar: Updating your town plan for Act 171

Since January 1st, 2018, towns and RPCs are required to identify forest blocks and habitat connectors, as well as plan for development in those places in ways that minimize forest fragmentation. This requirement asks towns to look at the larger patterns of forests and dive into the science of what is known about connectivity in their region at multiple scales. Some of the data involved is immediately actionable, but some of the models warrant caution and additional research. Tune in to hear how VT Fish & Wildlife Department can help your town interpret available data and translate it into actionable planning and policy.
