SUMMARY:Webinar: Urban Gardens and Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Join Penn State Extension for this webinar on urban gardening and soil health!\nThe COVID-19 pandemic got a lot of folks engaged in gardening\, especially in urban settings\, for the first time. While gardening in urban settings can be rewarding\, it can come with the risk of exposure to heavy metals and other pollutants that can be found in these polluted soils. During Urban Gardens and Soil Health\, participants will learn how they can test their soil\, examine soil health\, and help ensure they are growing healthy food. There will also be a chance to ask a soil scientist\, Stephen Dadio\, questions about urban soil health.\nClick here to learn more and register

SUMMARY:Webinar: Emerging Findings on the Effects of Cover Crops on Grassland Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join April’s NRCS Conservation Outcomes webinar to learn more about the wildlife benefits associated with cover crops:\nAs the use of cover crops to improve soil health and reduce water quality concerns on working cropland has increased in recent years\, questions have emerged regarding the value of cover crops to wildlife. For example\, do cover crops provide needed habitat for grassland birds\, a group that has experienced widespread population decline in recent decades? What is the value of cover crop fields to grassland birds during the winter\, spring migration\, and breeding periods compared to cropland fields without cover crops or areas of perennial cover?\nOn April 25 at 2:00 p.m. eastern\, Dr. Adam Janke of Iowa State University and Dr. David Buehler of the University of Tennessee will provide answers to these questions and more during our free\, one-hour Conservation Outcomes Webinar. This webinar will share findings from recent studies examining bird use of cover crops in Iowa and Tennessee conducted in partnership with USDA’s Conservation Effects Assessment Project. Findings may be used to support on-the-ground cropland management decisions informed by a better understanding of the potential role of cover crops in grassland bird conservation efforts.\nNo registration is required. Visit NRCS Conservation Outcomes webinar page to find the link to join the meeting\nYou may also join via audio only:\nPhone Number: 202-650-0123\nPhone Conference ID: 554 587 395#
