As you explore the places around your property and its vicinity, it can be useful to understand a larger ecological context. Seeing where forests and rivers connect on a larger scale helps you understand more about where you live and how the pieces fit together. Join us as we host Jens Hilke, Conservation Planner with the VT Department of Fish and Wildlife to learn more about a handy online mapping tool that identifies the lands and waters most important for maintaining Vermont's ecologically functional landscape – one that conserves current biological diversity and allows species to move and shift in response to climate and land-use changes. Vermont Conservation Design allows users to see patterns in Vermont's forests and waterways and identify the places that connect both into a functional network. The Design was just updated with new landscape scale components and Wildlife Road Crossings. It now features more accurate edges of the habitat blocks, that allow for a better understanding of the pattern and network of connected forests. Join us to learn more about this important conservation science. Register in advance for this meeting.
