SUMMARY:Conservation Reserve Program Outcomes Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Conservation Reserve Program Outcomes Webinar\nMay 23\, 2024  \n01:00pm-02:00pm \nSpatial Models of Grassland Quality and Risk of Conversion for Evaluating CRP Enrollment \nPresenter: Kevin W. Barnes\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service \nAbstract: Grasslands\, especially those on the economic margin\, face mounting threats from agricultural expansion and development. To safeguard these valuable systems\, Grassland CRP offers financial support to protect high-quality grasslands at risk of conversion while allowing sustainable grazing and haying. \nUsing consistent\, transparent\, evidence-based decision-support tools for prioritizing Grassland CRP enrollment can ensure program effectiveness and accountability. \nThis study introduces three innovative spatial models for evaluating candidate parcels: \n\nLand cover classification model identifying potentially undisturbed grasslands\nLandscape-scale predictions of future grassland conversion to cropland or development\nBioindicator metrics of ecosystem health/wildlife benefits\n\n*After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nFor more information about webinars and assessments\, visit FSA’s Monitoring\, Assessment\, and Evaluation page. \nRegister Here
