SUMMARY:Pro Series: Prescribed Fire
DESCRIPTION:Discover how fire can be one of the most powerful tools for renewal. From conservation professionals to private landowners\, more people are recognizing the ecological benefits of prescribed fire and are turning to fire to promote native plant diversity\, restore prairies and forests\, enhance wildlife habitat\, and promote healthy\, diverse landscapes. \nIn this presentation\, you’ll learn about the history of fire on the land\, why prescribed burns are an essential management practice\, and how burns are safely planned and carried out. Whether you’re curious about conservation or interested in managing your own property\, this program will provide valuable insights into working with fire instead of against it. \nWhether you’re new to the topic or have experience with land management\, we welcome your questions and perspectives as part of the conversation. \nTanner Donovan\, Natural Resource Specialist for Madison County Conservation\, will be our featured Professional for this presentation. \n \nPro Series is a program designed for adults who want to engage in meaningful\, in-depth conversations about conservation. Each session explores pressing environmental issues\, current research\, and practical ways we can protect and restore natural habitats. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas\, ask questions\, and connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about conservation. \nRegistration is encouraged\, but not required.

SUMMARY:Pro Series: County Conservation Legislative Priorities
DESCRIPTION:Learning about conservation policies is a vital process to understanding the available resources to aid natural resource protection. \nThe health of Iowa’s natural resources and the availability of our shared outdoor recreation opportunities is at a cultural crossroads. 60% of our woodlands\, 99.9% of our prairie\, and 95% of our wetlands – original habitat compositions – are gone. Funding for conservation programs are hard to navigate\, and their significance of impact on the landscape is declining. \nThankfully\, our state’s constitution already has a solution to help many of these problems – through Iowa’s Natural Resource and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund! \nOn March 21\, come to the ANC to learn about the only unfunded constitutional program in Iowa’s history. \n  \nThe County Conservation Director’s Association (CCDA) is the primary group to educate\, network\, and serve as a unified legislative voice for County Conservation Directors across the state of Iowa. Zach Hall\, the current CCDA President and Warren County Conservation Director\, will present on recent policies and their impact on our conservation industry. \n  \nPro Series is a program designed for adults who want to engage in meaningful\, in-depth conversations about conservation. Each session explores pressing environmental issues\, current research\, and practical ways we can protect and restore natural habitats. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas\, ask questions\, and connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about conservation. \nRegistration will open one month before the event.
