August 2023 Webinar – Conservation Planning in Municipalities: Case Studies of Urban Wetlands & Waterways
Community conservation planning practices decrease the negative impacts of development on nature. They are also applied by communities seeking enhanced benefits from the natural resources they manage. Ronda will provide an overview of community plans that have led to urban water projects including comprehensive plans, park system master plans, economic development strategic plans, resiliency plans, property management plans and more. Case studies from the lower Midwest will be shared to illustrate how wetlands and other water resources are being managed by communities of all sizes as green infrastructure and for other ecosystem services.

July 2023 Webinar – A Broad Scale 2,500 Acre Wetland Habitat Restoration Project in South Florida
Monthly webinars are offered as a benefit of membership. Once each quarter, in March, July, September, and December, the monthly SWS webinar is open for non-members to attend (and at no cost), as well.
Avenir is a mixed-use development in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The parent property was comprised of 4,763 +/- acres of highly altered lands, ditched and drained to support various agricultural uses for over 50 years. Over 50% of the property (2,400 +/- acres) was set aside for habitat restoration, wetland mitigation, and conservation. This webinar focuses on the approach, design, and implementation of the native habitat restoration and conserv...
Women in Wetlands Section Webinar: Does restoration work? An amphibian-centric look at restoration in geographically isolated wetlands
This webinar is for SWS members only.
Geographically isolated wetlands provide a critical habitat for pond-breeding amphibians, a taxa of broad conservation concern. Restoration of wetlands typically includes goals to recover the wetlands’ physiochemical, hydrological, and ecological functions. However, for pond-breeding amphibians, successful restoration should also result in sustained populations, which is difficult to assess and infrequently reported. In this talk, I will provide a broad overview of restoration practices addressing hydrology, vegetation, and ecological processes within these unique environments and across spatial scales. Then ...
