Winter Webinar Series
Sharing technical knowledge our conservation community needs to become leaders and innovators in biodiversity conservation.
The 2027 Series
In partnership with the Columbia Mountains Institute of Applied Ecology, Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) presents our Annual Winter Webinar Series on the theme of In the field together: community science.
Community science initiatives and platforms are transforming the ways in which people interact with their natural world, the way we collect ecological data, and the vast opportunities to learn. This webinar series will explore what ‘community science’ means, including its origins, current uses, and potential future risks and limitations for supporting land management and conservation planning. We’ll learn how to contribute data in useful and ethical ways, and how to access and apply data for ecosystem stewardship, management, and planning. We’ll also discuss how to safeguard sensitive ecological and cultural data while still utilizing community science tools. Presenters will share inspiring projects at the leading edge of what’s currently possible with community science tools, and lessons learned for practitioners wanting to set up their own citizen science programs.
Registration for this series is free and will open in December.
New Knowledge, Leading Science and Best Practices
For most of our partners, winter is the time to write reports, plan the upcoming field season, and—with the help of our winter webinar series—learn from one another.
This free online series facilitates the sharing of technical knowledge so that local conservation activities consider adopting the best available information and practices.
