Two webinars scheduled for May 28th and July 23rd, 2019, will be produced by the Monarch Collaborative as part of the monthly Monarch Conservation Webinar Series co-hosted by the Monarch Joint Venture and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Are you still on the fence about pollinator habitat, or do you just need some straightforward ideas for how to get started? This webinar will present the many ways a farmer can promote milkweed and other nectar plants on his or her operation, from basic tweaks to management practices to the profitable marriage of habitat plantings and precision ag insights. Speakers will also point the way to technical and financial resources available locally to assist with planting habitat.
You are not on your own if you want to promote pollinators! This webinar will feature stories, tips, and techniques from farmers who have tried planting monarch/pollinator habitat on their own land with varying degrees of success. They will share the good, bad, and ugly of seed mixes, seedbed prep, and multi-year management so you can get a sense of what you might be getting into.
