The Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area (near Priddis) which is on the fringe of this and the aspen parkland ecoregion is interested in developing a long-term restoration plan for their site. Determining pre-European settlement vegetation patterns can be challenging\, especially in areas with few historic written accounts. Thus\, we seek to combine numerous documentary and environmental data sources to reconstruct the vegetation community for the Cross Conservation Area site. Specifically\, we focus on soil conditions\, tree-ages\, historic aerial images\, and the late 19th Century Dominion Land Survey to piece together a target for restoring the site to pre-European conditions. This project is in the early stages\, so we present some theoretical background and preliminary results. \nPresenter Biography \nEmily Lambert is an undergraduate student at the University of Calgary\, in the department of Geography.  Her interests include Biogeography and Landscape Ecology\, and in the future\, she is hoping to be doing work in landscape management\, restoration and conservation.  She in the Vice President of Events of the Palliser Club at the university\, which is the undergraduate geography club. In her spare time\, she enjoys being outdoors\, volunteering at a wildlife center\, and teaching karate. \n  \nDavid Goldblum is an associate professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Calgary. David’s research interests focus on both natural disturbances and anthropogenic impacts on forest\, grassland\, and woodland plant communities. He’s had research projects on fire ecology in Australia and Colorado\, forest ecology in New Caledonia\, New York state\, and central Ontario\, and grassland ecology in Illinois and Alberta.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Mapping Vulnerability to Support Identification of Conservation Opportunities in the Green River Basin
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: February 6\, 2018  1:00-3:00pm MST\nPresenters: Dave Theobald\, Conservation Science Partners and Sasha Stortz\, Northern Arizona University \nThe Green River Basin Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) Workshop 2 was recently held in Vernal\, UT\, to share vulnerability maps and discuss applications of the maps to support identification of conservation opportunities. This webinar will provide an overview of the topic covered in Vernal\, including how to access vulnerability maps created for the LCD through Databasin\, the collaborative process and input that drove the development of these maps\, and applications of the maps. \nBackground\nThe spatial data products that will be shared in this webinar were informed by over two years of input from managers and other stakeholders\, including a needs assessment\, a workshop that took place in April of 2016 in Rock Springs\, WY\, and a series of technical webinars and work group calls. In this webinar\, we will present vulnerability assessments for important ecosystems of the Green River Basin\, discuss the analysis done to create these decision support tools\, demonstrate how they can be used to answer key management questions and their applications for supporting identification of conservation opportunity areas. The Green River Basin LCD analysis area extends across about 48\,000 square miles and spans portions of Utah\, Colorado\, and Wyoming. More information about the project can be found here. \nFor questions or more information\, contact Sasha Stortz at sasha.stortz@nau.edu or 928 523 7037.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Examining the Role of Human Dimensions Thinking in Landscape Conservation Planning
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: January 24\, 2018  12:00-1:00pm MST\nSpeaker: Catherine Doyle-Capitman\, Cornell University \nOne of the greatest challenges facing landscape conservation is how to ensure ecosystem-wide conservation goals\, such as those articulated in Landscape Conservation Designs\, can effectively inform local management plans and actions. Developing feasible conservation goals and useful landscape planning products requires participation by local stakeholders. However\, opportunities for these stakeholders to engage in planning processes are often limited. This webinar will examine the role of local stakeholders and human dimensions thinking in transboundary resource conservation. Catherine Doyle-Capitman\, Doctoral Candidate at Cornell University\, will highlight the role of local stakeholders in bridging the gap between conservation planning and management implementation. She will then present best practice guidance for engaging local stakeholders and integrating social data into landscape conservation decision processes. \nAbout the presenter: Catherine is a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University and a visiting scholar in the Division of Mammals at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. She holds a B.A. in biology from Bowdoin College and a Masters of Environmental Science from the Yale School or Forestry and Environmental Studies. Her doctoral research\, which is funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, focuses on the processes of developing and implementing landscape-level natural resource conservation.

SUMMARY:Avoiding Incidental Take of Bird Nests: From Law to Practice
DESCRIPTION:A hundred years ago\, on August 16\, 1916\, the Migratory Birds Convention Act (MBCA) was signed by Canada and the US. Since then\, the MBCA has been largely overlooked in economic practices\, and the unlawful destruction of active nests during otherwise legal economic activities – “incidental take” – has been widespread. However\, in recent years\, the MBCA has been increasingly referenced in Environmental Protection Plans and in Environmental Impact Assessment Certificates. \nIncidental take is now recognized as a major legal conundrum for many industries\, including forestry\, agriculture\, mining\, and utilities. Projects involving land clearing\, or vegetation management being undertaken by developers\, cities\, and resorts now commonly commit to avoiding incidental take\, and biologists are increasingly hired to mitigate nest loss due to land clearing activities. The risk of incidental take can be minimized by guidance from nesting models\, and disturbance to nests is sometimes avoided by conducting pre-clearing nest surveys. However\, all approaches for nest loss mitigation have shortcomings\, and it’s unclear what is required under “due diligence” and how this can be demonstrated. \nAn upcoming Columbia Mountains Institute forum will provide an opportunity for dialogue between an environmental lawyer\, industry\, regulators\, and biologists whose work involves the MBCA and relevant mitigation. On the first day\, CMI is lining up a roster of invited speakers (to be determined) to discuss legal risks\, due diligence\, provide perspectives from regulators (Canadian Wildlife Service) regarding enforcement and possibly future solutions\, provide the ecological justification of legislation such as the MBCA and the BC Wildlife Act\, and possibly delve into potential for permitting of incidental take in the future and the pitfalls of offsetting practices. A panel discussion/question period will follow the presentations. On day 2\, participants are invited to present talks on approaches being used by industry\, and ideas\, results\, and experiences (trials and tribulations) with respect to incidental take avoidance and mitigation. Finally\, interested participants will have the opportunity to engage in a working group to discuss pre-clearing nest surveys performed by biologists. What is the role of the biologist? What information should be provided to the client? And who bears legal responsibility in the event of incidental take following a survey? \nFor a list of invited speakers and event updates\, see here \nWho should attend this forum? \nCMI events attract people from a variety of disciplines and professions. This forum caters specifically to the needs of stakeholders (e.g.\, forestry\, mining\, agricultural\, and power generation companies) and their environmental specialists and managers\, biologists\, and government decision-makers\, but all are welcome. \nWe welcome presentations and posters that address the following themes: \nDay 1. Top Down: regulations\, risks and recovery\nThe Day 1 presentations will consist of experts sharing perspectives and advice regarding high level topics such as avian population decline\, bird management\, regulatory interpretation\, compliance\, management of legal risks\, enforcement\, offset policy and practice\, or MBCA reform. The list of (invited) speakers presenting on Day 1 has not yet been finalized; while these talks are generally invited\, if you have a presentation of this nature we may consider including your talk on Day 1. \nDay 2. Bottom Up: applications and approaches to mitigation\nThe Day 2 session will focus on applied management tactics regarding approaches to mitigating risk of incidental take and minimizing disturbance to nesting birds. We hope to engage in sharing of new information\, highlight challenges and issues\, share approaches being explored\, and discuss the trials and tribulations with mitigating incidental take. We are now soliciting and registering presenters to give talks that highlight the realities of complying with the MBCA. We invite speakers interested in presenting on topics related to the following subjects: \n\nCurrent\, proactive industrial approaches to the MBCA\nChallenges and issues of complying with the MBCA\nPre-clearing nest surveys: methodologies\, considerations\, issues\, and limitations\nMinimizing disturbance to nesting birds – tactics and recommendations\nModeling incidental take – methods\, examples\, challenges\, and successes\nChallenges and considerations of permitting incidental take\n\nIf you would like to give a 15 minute MS PowerPoint presentation at this conference (with 5 additional minutes for Q&A)\, please send title\, abstract (max. 300 words)\, a short bio which will be used to introduce you at the event\, and full contact information to the Columbia Mountains Institute by Friday\, January 13\, 2017. Longer presentations will be considered upon request. Written presentation summaries will be requested for inclusion in an events proceedings document. Presenters will receive a 10% discount off forum registration fee. \nSubmission guidelines for presentations\, posters\, and summary papers appear on our website here. Please review prior to making a submission. \nPosters and displays are welcome and encouraged. Time will be available on both Day 1 and Day 2 for mingling\, networking\, and discussion focussed at poster presentations and displays. To guarantee that your poster or display can be accommodated\, please send title\, abstract\, or description of your display\, a short bio\, and full contact information by Friday January 13\, 2017. Your abstract will be included in the forum proceedings. The primary author of a registered poster or display will receive a 10% discount off forum registration fee.

SUMMARY:Exploring How Citizen Science Can Enhance Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:   Danah Duke (B.Sc.\, M.Sc.) \nDate:              April 10\, 2017 \nTime:              12 – 1pm \nLocation:      Conference Room ‘A’\, Husky Conference Centre\, Calgary\, AB \nPlus 30 level\, 707-8th Avenue SW (take the escalator up two flights) \nWebinar:      Link will be posted day of event \nCCP:              This presentation entitles ASPB members to earn 1 Professional Development Hour \nRegistration is not required for this event \n  \nDescription: \nCitizens are facing complex conservation challenges. Stronger sustainable solutions engage citizens in better understanding the issue\, contributing personal knowledge and experience\, and implementation. From an ecological conservation perspective\, new collaborations and ways of considering knowledge production are critical if we are to address complex challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. In addition\, citizens are demanding the incorporation of principles of accessibility\, transparency\, and accountability within government agencies and decision-making. \nCitizen science offers an approach that can change the way information is generated and shared\, improving accessibility\, transparency\, and credibility of the information.  Citizen science can also lead to improved research questions\, enhance collaboration and ultimately improved environmental stewardship. \nA 2015 inventory showed that there are 82 citizen science initiatives in Alberta. Most of these are contributory and focus on biodiversity issues. There are immense opportunities to increase the use of citizen science to address diverse environmental challenges in Alberta. However\, there are often barriers to implementation and sustainability. Some of these challenges include perception barriers\, volunteer bias\, program sustainability and volunteer retention. \nThe Miistakis Institute has been designing and implementing citizen science initiatives to address conservation challenges in Alberta for the past decade. Through many successes and a few failures we have learned many valuable lessons related to program design\, tool usability\, volunteer recruitment\, program sustainability and evaluation.

SUMMARY:NRESi Colloquium: Conservation in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, March 3\, 2017 – 3:30pm to 4:30pm \nLocation: Canfor Theatre – 6-213 or webcast (http://www.unbc.ca/nres-institute/colloquium-webcasts) \nCampus: Prince George \n\n\n\n\nHumans increasingly dominate Earth and our activities have become the chief force of global change.  In this epoch of upheaval\, traditional mid-20th century conservation philosophy and practices require rethinking. Let us examine some thorny issues including: conservation planning\, protected areas\, wilderness\, social justice\, matrix management\, postmodern and “new” ecology\, ecosystem services\, biodiversity offsets\, restoration ecology\, grizzly bear management\, role of predators\, species at risk\, GMOs. If climate change has altered the rules\, how should we regard peripheral species\, exotic invasive species\, novel ecosystems\, assisted migration?  Can nature conservation be revamped\, and how might that apply to northern British Columbia? \nThe Natural Resources & Environmental Studies Institute (NRESi) at UNBC hosts a weekly lecture series at the Prince George campus. Anyone from the university or wider community with interest in the topic area is welcome to attend. Presentations are also made available to remote participants through Livestream and Blue Jeans. Go to http://www.unbc.ca/nres-institute/colloquium-webcasts to view the presentation remotely.
