LTPBR as a method for stream restoration is rapidly gaining momentum in the states to the west of us. While most people’s minds jump straight to beaver dam analogs, these are only one tool in the chest. Tune in for a run down on Nebraska’s unique stream resources, the challenges they face, and some discussion on where LTPBR might be an applicable solution.

Presenter: Cassidy Wessel, Wildlife Biologist- Nebraska Game and Parks Commission

Presenter Bio: Cassidy grew up on the Loup and Platte Rivers by Columbus, and received a degree in biology and environmental science from Wayne State. She worked as a Farm Bill Biologist in a partnership role with Pheasants Forever, NGPC and NRCS from 2010-2016, and has been with NGPC since 2016. Both roles are private lands work, where biologists spend their days helping landowners find ways to put habitat on the ground, often through identifying the shared goals of agriculture and wildlife conservation. 

This webinar is part of the Master Naturalist Mondays webinar series. Nebraska Master Naturalist is a statewide volunteer conservation program.  Our program recruits, trains, manages, and provides resources for our volunteer naturalist members. We use four strategies to meet Nebraska’s conservation needs, Habit Stewardship, Community Science, Environmental Education & Interpretation, and Outdoor Recreation & Skills.  

This free webinar series will host a variety of presenters and subject matter within these four conservation strategies. Master Naturalist Mondays is a space to connect us to our conservation motivations and inspirations, and our Naturalist community across the state of Nebraska. 

All webinars will be recorded and found HERE.
