Scientists have discovered how important it may be to include locally adapted microbes with your locally adapted plants. Mycorrhizal fungi can improve yield and plant and soil growth by transporting phosphorous and nitrogen and other nutrients from soil, collecting water from the soil, providing resistances from plant herbivores, improving drought tolerance, and decreasing soil erosion. Many restoration environments may have ineffective soil fungi due to moving, tillage or human caused change and could benefit from the addition! Hear from Dr. Liz Koziol to learn the advantages of including mycorrhizae in your rights-of-way restoration plans and techniques for application!

The Texas Department of Transportation has been implementing vegetation management practices in support of pollinators since 1932. From then on, the department has developed a comprehensive wildflower program, particularly in recognition of the state as a key stopover during Monarch migration. Hear from Sam Glinsky, Vegetation Specialist, to learn more about the lifecycle of a Texas roadside, the benefits of the program beyond the road, and the public education and stewardship practices they follow!

Pollinating insects are in crisis across North America, with steep declines in some groups. This introductory webinar in our 2019-2020 Pollinator Series will discuss the opportunities that transportation, utility and other corridors present to increase and improve available pollinator habitat across the landscape. Examples from all sectors will be discussed, and the highlights of CWF’s 2019 pilot project in eastern Ontario will be presented.

Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation on Tuesday, April 15 at 12:00 p.m. ET to learn about some of Canada’s moths (and butterflies, too!). Our special guest, Christian Schmidt, Ph.D., a research scientist, will take us into the world of moth biology, how they live and profile some Canadian species. Christian will also share ways we can help these remarkable wild neighbours in our own outdoor spaces. We hope you can join us!
