Post date: Oct 25, 2016 6:46:32 PM

We’re excited to announce a webinar series this fall for the Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (GRB LCD). The purpose of these webinars is to share several spatial data products developed by Conservation Science Partner and Northern Arizona University, including sagebrush resilience/resistance mapping, mapping integrity of freshwater systems, and mapping riparian vegetation, and to invite feedback and questions on the data products.

Dates and Times

- Mapping freshwater integrity: October 27^th, 2016 from 2-3PM MDT

- Sage Steppe Resilience Mapping: November 21^st, 2016 from 2-3PM MDT

- Mapping riparian vegetation: December 19^th, 2016 from 2-3PM MDT

RSVP

Background

These webinars are being conducted as part of the GRB LCD, an effort to coordinate and act across boundaries and jurisdictions to meet mutual goals for agreed-upon conservation targets in the sage-steppe and aquatic/riparian ecosystems of the Green River Basin. The analysis area extends across about 48,000 square miles and spans portions of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. The project is now in its second year, and has included an extensive stakeholder engagement process, including interviews, a needs assessment, and a workshop that took place in April of 2016. The spatial data products shared in these webinars can be useful in their own right, and will feed into a vulnerability analysis being conducted for the project, which will include a second workshop in 2017.
