🐸 NAWM Members - have you registered for the 9/25 Webinar? https://lnkd.in/gR-NDX5S Presenters: Eryn Bloom - Kurtis Fisher - Chelsea M. Peterson If you’d like to support the Kusler Scholarship Award, visit us at: https://lnkd.in/edX2wquE The Jon A. Kusler Student Scholarship Award was created in 2020 to honor the legacy of the late Dr. Jon A. Kusler, Esq., NAWM’s founder and one of the most influential thinkers of our time regarding wetland and floodplain science, policy, and law. Jon paved the way for wetland and floodplain protection around the world, challenging us to think beyond the norm – to find new and innovative ways to solve some of our most pressing environmental issues. Eleven students have received the Kusler Student Scholarship Award since its inception in 2020. Three students were selected in 2024 and attended NAWM's Annual State/Tribal/Federal Coordination Meeting, held in June at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, WV. This webinar will showcase the students' research projects and will highlight the work of the next generation to protect and restore our nation's wetlands. #wetlandprotection #floodplain #wetlandscience #wetlandlaw #environmental #bestmanagementpractices #BMP #NationalPollutantDischargeEliminationSystem #NPDES #WaterResourceManagement #ecosystems #coastalheadwaters #wetlandhydrology #WetlandIntrinsicPotentialtool #wip #DigitalElevationModel #DEM #watershed #soil #organicmatter #ecosystem #carbonstorage #floodplainrestoration #drainage #SOM #Kusler
