Webinar | Low-Tech Wet Meadow Restoration: Reading the Landscape to Recognize Opportunities
June 16, 2020
Over the first few months of 2020, various organizations have hosted several excellent webinars about various sagebrush-related topics.
While we’ve shared these webinars and the opportunities to watch them on-demand through our social media channels, we wanted to provide a single resource where folks could find links to all of these webinar replay opportunities.
This list includes webinars hosted by the NRCS, the Great Basin Fire Science Exchange, the Conservation Biology Institute, the Intermountain West Joint Venture/Audubon Society, the Society for Ecological Restoration and others. These webinars were presented between April and June, 2020 and are listed in chronological order, beginning in April and continuing through June.
