SUMMARY:Finding and Managing Invasive Lesser Celandine
DESCRIPTION:Not MI Species Webinar Series: Now you see me\, now you don’t! The trick of finding and managing invasive lesser celandine. \nIn 2024\, lesser celandine (Ficaria verna)\, a spring ephemeral plant found in forest floodplains\, was added to Michigan’s watch list. With this plant\, timing is critical; it appears very early in spring and hides underground well before summer’s heat begins. Learn about the impacts\, identification and management strategies for lesser celandine from Katie Grzesiak\, terrestrial invasive species coordinator with the Department of Natural Resources. You’ll finish prepared to become a spring lesser celandine spotter on your next outdoor adventure. \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email from “EGLE Outreach” with a link for you to use to join the webinar. \nRegister HERE. \n

SUMMARY:EGLE Virtual Listening Session: Protect Michigan’s Land and Water
DESCRIPTION:EGLE is starting another round of input on implementation of the Michigan Healthy Climate Plan (Michigan.gov/MiHealthyClimatePlan). For this session\, we are soliciting input on the priorities across the action areas under “Protect Michigan’s Land and Water\,” (working lands/agriculture)\, including these priority actions to meet our climate goals: \n• As a part of the national ‘America the Beautiful’ initiative\, protect 30 percent of Michigan’s land and water by 2030 to naturally capture GHG emissions\, while maintaining and improving recreational opportunities for all Michiganders\, expanding access in disproportionately impacted communities\, and protecting biodiversity. \n• Develop initiatives to support farmers in adopting best management practices to improve soil health\, store carbon\, and utilize other greenhouse gas emissions\, while also protecting water quality. \n• Create programs to catalyze and accelerate the transition to cleaner technologies like electric and hydrogen fuel-cell farm equipment. Each virtual listening session will begin with a brief introduction by EGLE on the MI Healthy Climate Plan goals related to the specific action area. \nWe will then open it up for public comment\, where those who wish to comment will have three minutes each. Feedback received in these sessions will serve to organize and influence near- and long-term greenhouse gas reduction measures. \nRegister for this free webinar HERE.

SUMMARY:EGLE presents educational webinar series on Lake Erie algal blooms
DESCRIPTION:Because knowledge is power\, EGLE will present an educational webinar series\, “Taking Action on Lake Erie\,” to take an inside look at ways the state and partners are working together to enhance stewardship of the land and improve water quality in Michigan’s portion of the Western Lake Erie Basin. \nThe series begins with a session 11 a.m.-noon Wednesday\, Oct. 5\, highlighting agriculture inventory planning and implementation in the Western Lake Erie Basin led by EGLE’s Nonpoint Source Program and implemented by local conservation districts. \nThe agricultural inventory process utilizes modeling\, desktop analysis\, and a field inventory to collect site-specific data to locate and prioritize agricultural sites that have the potential to impact water quality. The goal is to implement agricultural best management practices on sites with the greatest potential to reduce phosphorus loading and improve water quality. This is an opportunity for the public\, agency partners\, and anyone who wants to know what Michigan is doing to reduce nutrient loading to Lake Erie. \nInformation and registration are available on the event website. Questions about the webinar may be directed to Michelle Selzer\, Lake Erie coordinator in EGLE’s Water Resources Division\, at SelzerM@Michigan.gov. Questions about registration may be directed to training and outreach coordinators Alana Berthold\, BertholdA@Michigan.gov\, or Joel Roseberry\, RoseberryJ@Michigan.gov.
