🍃It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week!🍃 🙂Whether it's attending events, volunteering for community removal efforts, or advocating for invasive species awareness, you can get involved with reducing the spread of invasive species in your area. 📝As part of National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW), the NAFWS Invasive Species Program is committed to sharing knowledge with daily posts from February 24 – 28, 2025. 📚Join us for our first quarterly Invasive Species Club Meeting on February 26 at 2 pm MT. 🌐For more information, check out: https://lnkd.in/gYc8ARws. #NISAW #NAFWS

What does wild turkey management look like? It is datasets, datasets, datasets! 📊 🖥️ 🦃 Wild turkeys are a treasured game bird by hunters, but they have been in decline in the Southeast since 2009. Researchers with the Southeast CASC have been working to help find out why. A recent SE CASC-funded study found that while the environmental timings of seasons are shifting with climate change, nesting turkeys are not. Researchers used weather data gathered between 2014 and 2021 and analyzed the timing for 717 total nests and 186 “successful” nests that hatched at least one egg. You can read their results here: https://loom.ly/PLoR-Vc Data provided by SE CASC-funded projects like this helps managers make decisions that can head off the big potential problems of tomorrow by making small actions today.

Our February science seminar featuring Tom Byl, Champagne Cunningham, and Devin Moore was full of incredible insights into the science needs related to #HarmfulAlgalBlooms and climate change! If you missed it, you can catch up on the replay here: https://loom.ly/esKce9I

🗺️Geospatial Migration Movement Mapping In-Person Training at the United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) Campus in Bismarck, ND 📅 April 11-12, 2025 🪶The Native American Fish and Wildlife Society (NAFWS) and United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) are excited to announce a geospatial migration movement mapping in-person training at the United Tribes Technical College. In this training participants will have the opportunity to explore animal movement data and complete analysis to answer critical management questions. We will also cover the collection of GPS collar data from wildlife and how it helps inform conservation management. ✅It is REQUIRED that registrants have a basic understanding of ArcGIS Pro: how to take csv formatted movement data and transform it into a shapefile, project data sets, create shapefiles, and have a basic understanding of raster datasets. ❗Registration closes March 28th, 2025 🌐 To register, visit our Events and Training page: https://lnkd.in/gkpyhd29
