The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, the
USDA Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program,
and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are pleased to
announce two upcoming Pollinator Conservation Planning Short Courses in
Montana. These full day trainings will provide you with the latest
science-based approaches to reversing the trend of pollinator declines, and
will equip you with the recipes necessary to protect and manage habitat for
these vital insects.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES:
* Identify approaches to increase and enhance pollinator diversity on
the land
* Knowledge of current best management practices that minimize
land-use impacts on pollinators
* Identify bees and distinguish them from other insects
* Understand the economics of insect-pollinated crops, and the effects
of pollinator decline
* Knowledge of the current Farm Bill pollinator conservation
provisions in programs such as WHIP, EQIP, CSP, and CRP
* Ability to assess pollinator habitat and to identify habitat
deficiencies
* Ability to make recommendations to farmers and land managers that
conserve pollinators (including subjects such as tillage, pesticide use,
burning, grazing, and cover cropping)
* Ability to design and implement habitat improvements, such as native
plant restoration and nest site enhancements
