2018 NMFWA Workshop 

Advanced ESA training 

Course will include case study examples that have taken place across DoD lands with USFWS training instructors facilitating the course.  The course will be taught lecture style with group exercises mixed in.  The training will be offered twice on Monday, March 26th with either a morning (0830-1200) or afternoon (1330-1700) session to choose from (80 participants per session).  You will enroll for the training at the same time when you register for the NMFWA Workshop this year.  We highly encourage individuals that are not very familiar with ESA, but would like to attend the training to take the free online ESA training found on the DENIX website prior to attending the NMFWA Advanced ESA course.  The free online training can be found on the following website: http://www.denix.osd.mil/nr/home/

BAsic Bash Training Course

USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services Wildlife Aviation Program Coordinator will be offering a basic BASH training course on Monday, 26 March from 0830-1700. The training will be taught by qualified and experienced wildlife airport biologists. The training will be tailored for the Department of Defense
incorporating most of the curriculum for an airport biologist conducting wildlife hazard assessments under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 139 and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-36A.  You will enroll for the training at the same time when you register for the NMFWA Workshop this year.  Limited to 25-50 participants.

Climate Adaptation Training Course 

Sponsored by NMFWA’s Climate Change Working Group, this is one full-day training to be held Friday March 30, 2018, with a maximum of 30 students. Students would be required to sign up early as there is a pre-course webinar that is required and some reading. Each participant will receive a certificate of course completion from NIAC.
Description:
In this workshop, participants will consider how climate change may affect their land management goals, and develop and share strategies to adapt ecosystems to changing conditions. Participants will get an overview on how ecosystems are responding to climate change, and will go through a structured process for incorporating climate considerations into a sample real-world natural resource management project. This process follows NIACS’ Adaptation Workbook, and will help attendees work with a group to:
  • Identify challenges and opportunities for their sample land management project
  • Develop actionable steps to adapt ecosystems to changing conditions
  • Develop steps to monitor the efficacy of these adaptation actions
 
Suggested pre-work:
  • Review the Climate Change Science module and others as needed: www.fs.usda.gov/ccrc/educationhttps://www.fs.usda.gov/ccrc/education
  • Fill out a short online survey (focus of work, main resource concerns related to climate, etc.)
  • Read regional National Climate Assessment summary for your region.
  • [Some students will be selected to develop and submit a sample project​
