Self-Study Course: Sustainable Soil Management Practices "CABI is now offering a free online course on Sustainable Soil Management Practices, available worldwide. The course, created by experts in soil health and management, provides users with essential knowledge and tools to assist farmers in tackling current soil health issues.
Soil health is essential to many functions that ecosystems support, including providing clean air and water, and it also underpins agricultural productivity. Pressures on soil health threaten the maintenance of these functions and can greatly reduce yields.
However, specific soil management practices can enhance soil resilience, ultimately leading to higher crop yields and sustainable agricultural productivity."

Introduction to Prescribed Fire in the Grassland Environment - Continuing Education | University of Saskatchewan (usask.ca) 🔥 "The Introduction to Prescribed Fire in the Grassland Environment course, offered in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan, provides participants with the understanding of basic principles for planning, conducting, and assessing a grassland prescribed fire. This course is delivered online and open for registration year round. It is entirely asynchronous and self-paced, meaning students can complete it on their own schedules.
This course is open to all practitioners of prescribed fire, present or future, or those simply interested in learning more about its possible applications. Prescribed fire serves many purposes as a management tool – from conservation to maintaining rangeland health, and even public safety. As such, a wide variety of groups and demographics use it. The purpose of this course is to share awareness, and in addition to other training, ensure practitioners (crew members) in the grassland and parkland ecoregions can use fire in a safe, effective, and informed way.
This course, in combination with an in-field component, serves as the minimum training requirement for participation on a prescribed fire by many CPPFE partner agencies."Pollinator Steward Certification (PSC) 🦋 🐝 "empowers people with the scientific know-how to make a real difference for pollinators, people, and the planet
