Invertebrate Conservation Webinars 

Brought to you by the Xerces Society and the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service

Do you want more training in or a refresher on pollinator ecology, habitat
restoration, or pesticide protection? Do you want to learn about the
conservation of other important invertebrates, such as dragonflies and
freshwater mussels? The Xerces Society has collaborated with the USDA
Natural Resources Conservation Service to develop and deliver webinars that
answer these questions. See below for descriptions of the webinars, and then
click on links to  get practical, in-depth information about how you can
attract or conserve these vital invertebrates in working landscapes.
