SUMMARY:Prairie Strips for Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore\, professor\, Iowa State University\nThursday\, November 20\, 2025 from 7-8 p.m. ET\nVirtual\n$15 AHS members/$20 non-members\nThis program is approved for 1 CEU with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers\nAgriculture is crucial to providing for growing human population. It is also major threat to Earth’s biodiversity. Broad conservation strategies to address this situation include land-sparing\, which includes establishing reserves where human land uses are limited and natural processes are allowed to proceed\, and land sharing\, which seeks to improve the habitat provided by human-dominated landscapes. Prairie strips are an increasingly promoted land-sharing practice developed in the US Midwest. In this seminar\, Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore will present research knowledge and gaps regarding the use of prairie strips by multiple taxa\, including insects\, birds\, and reptiles. She will also discuss farmer interest in and barriers to establishing prairie strips. \nDr. Lisa Schulte Moore is the Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor in Agricultural and Life Sciences in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management and director of the Bioeconomy Institute at Iowa State University. She works in large transdisciplinary teams of scientists\, engineers\, farmers\, farmland owners\, and representatives of government\, industry\, and NGOs to foster continuous living cover on agricultural landscapes. Her research supports the development of new agricultural markets to meet societal goals for sustainable food\, energy\, materials\, rural prosperity\, healthy soil\, clean water\, abundant wildlife\, and inspiring recreational opportunities. She is a fellow of the Ecological Society of America\, American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and MacArthur Foundation. \nREGISTER NOW
