Join us to learn how on-farm habitat and Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management (IPPM) can boost biodiversity, enhance pest control, and reduce pesticide risks to pollinators. This webinar will cover the benefits of on-farm habitat, the core principles of IPPM, strategies for minimizing pesticide toxicity and exposure to pollinators, and examples of IPPM approaches across different California crops.
We are currently seeking continuing education units (CEUs/CEs) through the Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) program and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR). We will notify all registered participants via email prior to the webinar regarding the status of CEU/CE credit approval.

This 1-hour workshop will prepare Iowa and Minnesota Bumble Bee Atlas participants to work within federal protections for the rusty-patched bumble bee. During this training, we will cover the federal protections for the rusty-patched bumble bee, how to avoid rusty-patched bumble bee "zones", and how to identify rusty-patched bumble bees. We will also discuss the qualifications volunteers will need to obtain a federal recovery permit for the rusty-patched bumble bee.
This training is highly encouraged for all Iowa and Minnesota Atlas volunteers and is required for all Atlas participants who plan to survey in a grid cell that overlaps the current range of rusty-patched bumble bee (a.k.a., a rusty-patched bumble bee "zone").
This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
This workshop is supported by the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
