The Maryland Whole Watershed Act RFP was released this week, and it's exciting to think about all of the communities hard at work crafting restoration proposals for their local watersheds to be included in this transformational program. SB 969/HB 1165 establishes the Whole Watershed Restoration Partnership and Fund to accelerate restoration of the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays and their watersheds, and creates a State management team to administer the program. As explained in the introduction: "Proposals that are outcome-driven to protect and restore shallow water habitats, while addressing the needs of historically underserved, overburdened, and BIPOC communities are highly desired." Here's a link to the RFP: https://lnkd.in/e3hr3AF4 Posted below is the timeline for submission and project selection. #wholewatershedact #watershedrestoration #restoremaryland #ecologicalrestoration #restorationfunding

California RCDs are making substantial progress on prescribed burns! … Getting beneficial fire to scale is a critical aspect of California’s Wildfire & Forest Resilience Action Plan. In counties throughout California, Regional Conservation Districts are making a significant impact, getting good fire on the ground, and showing the way on best practices for safe, effective prescribed burns. … Check out a few recent highlights (from Yolo, Trinity, Butte, and Placer counties), as favorable fall and winter conditions have enabled California’s Resource Conservation Districts to make significant progress on prescribed burns. >> https://lnkd.in/ghR7NEtQ … Trinity County Resource Conservation District Butte County Resource Conservation District Placer Resource Conservation District #YoloRCD … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #PrescribedBurn #BeneficialFire

When developing or expanding properties, a common issue is the presence of #wetlands. Wetlands are land areas that are saturated or flooded with water either permanently or seasonally and are a part of our ecosystem, they’re something that should be preserved. Today, on #WorldWetlandsDay, we celebrate and emphasize the need to protect them. Our #LandUse team advocates for wetland preservation and would be more than happy to ensure your development project isn’t on a wetland. For more information on wetlands and what you can do, check out the link below. https://ow.ly/NwKK50QvApQ

The loss of 74.4% of global mangroves since 1996 is alarming, but the potential for restoration is high. It's crucial to support large-scale interventions for mangrove restoration. The 'Best Practice Guidelines for Mangrove Restoration' by the Global Mangrove Alliance are invaluable for this cause. Let's raise awareness and take action to protect and restore mangroves. #WorldMangroveDay #WeNeedWetlands #GenerationRestoration #ForNature #SupportMangroveRestoration.

New Article ALERT: Lightening the Land - The Case for Indigenous Fire Management ???? I'm excited to share this article I co-authored with Alexys Santos on the growing wildfire crisis and the critical role Indigenous fire stewardship plays in addressing it. As wildfires increase, we explore how reviving cultural burning practices can help protect communities, our environment and our shared future. #IndigenousFireManagement #CulturalBurning #WildfirePrevention #Reconciliation

This will be extremely useful in bringing knowledge in this area up to date

Book Recommendation: The Big Burn. Timothy Egan vividly captures the intense battle against a the largest wildfire in US history in 1910. Egan's portrayal extends beyond the fire, highlighting the visionary and pioneering efforts of President Teddy Roosevelt and forester Gifford Pinchot in championing conservation as we know it today, and creating a profound legacy of establishing the concept of public land as a national treasure for all citizens. It's a great reminder that public land conservation is and can be disaster prevention and preparedness. If you're using Hoopla Digital with your local library, the book is available for free for download! #BookRecommendation #TheBigBurn #Conservation #NationalTreasure #PublicLand #PublicLandConservation #DisasterRecovery #DisasterPreparation #SupportYourLocalLibrary
