Roslynn was your talk recorded?

A little bit of a detour, but all week next week I am hosting a webinar series as part of California Invasive Species Action Week with a bit of a focus on citizen science - https://ucanr.edu/sites/invasivelunch/2021/

It was a great presentation Ros!!

Thanks Tracy!

The Climate Change Education: A Cross-cutting Issue in Natural Resource Extension Programing Webinar recording from April 29 is now available at: https://globalrangelands.org/rreasp/webinar/climate-change-education-cross-cutting-issue-natural-resource-extension-programing

I work with Education, Communication, and Outreach Stakeholders (ECOS) Community which is a UN constituency working toward the climate education components of the UN climate change negotiation process

You can find out more about ECOS at www.climateecos.org.

Our Southeast Regional Climate Hub has some great resources on hurricane preparation and recovery that are very popular this time of year: https://www.climatehubs.usda.gov/index.php/hubs/southeast/topic/hurricane-preparation-and-recovery-southeast-us

My talk was recorded, yes. I’ll share the link with NECI when available :)

Another example: Our Northern Plains Climate Hub helped to fund this youth curriculum https://www.montana.edu/communitydevelopment/youth_climate_education.html

our FL extension program is presenting a webinar series on hurricane prep/recovery based on pine forest landowner guide

The Grass-Cast website is currently down, but should be back up tomorrow, or early next week. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your interest! If you need the latest Grass-Cast maps (made June 1) before then, feel free to email me, and I will gladly send them to you: dannele.peck@usda.gov.

Please follow us @USDAClimateHubs !

Are you planning to implement a lot of these programs nationally? I am wondering specifically about youth education and workforce development. Or is it already national?

Given the influx of urban farming and urban agriculture, shouldn't extension be involved with those efforts as well? Are they?

The Climate Hubs have attended and presented at the annual EDEN conference, and we were able to provide financial support to send an Extension professional to attend an annual EDEN conference.

@D'Ann, I can't speak for the Climate Hubs, but I can say that California has been involved with urban farming and we have a few urban food systems advisors.

Thank you!

@D'Ann, can I suggest you may want to join this Connect Extension group? https://connect.extension.org/g/urbanag

Paul shared the following above. This curriculum is available on the National 4-H website too. Another example: Our Northern Plains Climate Hub helped to fund this youth curriculum https://www.montana.edu/communitydevelopment/youth_climate_education.html

and here is USDA's urban ag program - https://www.farmers.gov/manage/urban/opportunities

Are the climate hubs working with EPA Agstar biodigester projects and other agency projects?

https://nationalextensionclimateinitiative.net/events/ - you can check out all of the amazing images from the Climate Action Forum at this page.

Thank you no I don't

The curriculum is FREE thanks to the Climate Hub funding! https://shop4-h.org/products/4-h-weather-and-climate-learning-lab-leader-s-guide

Ok, here is the registry - https://registry.extension.org/211196009024951

See you at the next NECI meeting July 1st!

Thanks for the great information everyone!

Thanks I enjoyed it even though I didn't have much to offer.

Yes, we are working with JEDI in various ways and starting to gather resources
