Come learn about the critical tips, tricks, and pitfalls of HCPs by national regulatory and consulting experts. Join with the USFWS, Ecobot, and several national consultants who are collaborating to illustrate best management practices and good consultation hygiene for the development of HCPs for threatened and endangered species. Hear from the experts on successful HCP implementations, geospatial prediction modeling for T&E species, and the digitization of element occurrences and critical habitat.

WEBINAR MODERATOR

Jeremy Schewe, PWS, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, Ecobot

As an ecologist conducting wetlands delineations, threatened & endangered species surveys, and baseline ecological inventories for over 18 years around the world, I have been able to avoid the rise of tech for many years more than people in most other professions, due to the lack of quality tools available to environmental scientists. It is the 21st century, however, and the wheel of innovation is rolling through every profession, including earth sciences.

Technology impacts the way we live and work. Natural resources consulting is no exception.

Each webinar will address various aspects of the increasingly important role that technology plays in wetland science, and conclude with a Q&A panel discussion with consultant, regulatory, and tech development industry leaders.
