SUMMARY:Firefly Atlas - virtual series
DESCRIPTION:Firefly season will be here in a flash.\nAfter a 2025 firefly season that included both dazzling firefly displays and worrisome headlines about firefly declines (it is a nuanced situation!)\, we are all wondering what the 2026 lightning bug season will bring. Let’s make it one of discoveries and increased commitment to conservation. Brush up on your firefly survey skills by attending an upcoming virtual Firefly Atlas Q&A\, read about Californian fireflies\, and learn about lost fireflies (gone\, or just ignored?). \nDownload the Atlas here:   https://www.fireflyatlas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Guide-to-Establishing-Firefly-Sanctuaries_2025-05-15.pdf \nGot questions about Firefly Atlas surveys? Join an upcoming Q&A.\nHave you watched the Firefly Atlas training videos and maybe even done a survey or two\, but want more guidance on planning firefly surveys\, documenting flash patterns\, or entering data? \nSign up for one of the upcoming Firefly Atlas Q&A webinars! \nApril 29th\, Wednesday\, 12-1 PM Eastern —Register \nMay 5th\, Tuesday\, 7:30-8:30 PM Eastern — Register \nSpecies profiles for both common and rare fireflies\nThe Firefly Atlas website now hosts new-and-improved profiles of 19 species\, including 13 focal species of conservation concern and six common\, widespread species that you are more likely to encounter. \nCheck out the profiles of common species \nCheck out the profiles of Firefly Atlas focal species \nOn the hunt for lost firefly species\nThere are nearly 30 species of firefly in the United States that have not been recorded in over a decade. A new Firefly Atlas campaign shines a light on these fireflies and provides guidance for adventurous naturalists ready to search for them. Rediscovering a lost firefly species may be as simple as being in the right place at the right time.

SUMMARY:Soil Health Workshop Series: Living Roots\, Compost\, Tarps
DESCRIPTION:This workshop highlights different ways to keep the soil covered and planted and why this is valuable practice to build soil on your farm.\n\n\n\nHealthy soil is the foundation of every thriving garden and productive farm. This hands-on workshop explores the core principles of soil health and how working with the soil—rather than against it—can transform plant vitality\, increase yields\, and build long-term resilience. \nParticipants will learn how soil functions as a living ecosystem and how practices like keeping the soil covered\, minimizing disturbance\, increasing plant diversity\, maintaining living roots\, and supporting soil biology all work together to build fertility naturally. Whether you’re tending a backyard garden or managing acres of land\, this workshop will connect the science of soil with practical\, real-world techniques you can apply right away. \nCome dig into the underground world that feeds your plants\, stores water\, sequesters carbon\, and supports the entire food system. When soil health improves\, everything above ground thrives. \nThis workshop will highlight keeping the soil covered and planted. Participants will see cover crops\, compost\, leaves and tarps and learn why this is valuable to the soil. \n**This event is outdoors on a working farm where you will be surrounded by nature. Ground and terrain may be uneven on the farm. We recommend comfortable shoes\, sunscreen and a hat.** \nThis workshop will take place rain or shine. In cases of extreme weather\, we will contact you 24-36 hours prior to the event if we need to cancel. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUSDA is an equal opportunity provider\, employer\, and lender.

SUMMARY:Conservation in Action Tour\, Raleigh\, North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Innovation\, profitability\, and technology in conservation agriculture will take center stage during the 19th annual Conservation in Action Tour June 3–4 in and around Raleigh\, N.C. The event\, hosted by the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC)\, brings farmers\, agriculture professionals\, and conservation leaders together for hands-on\, on-farm learning. \nAttendees will take a deep dive into the data and technical assistance driving North Carolina’s diverse rotations and cropping systems that include cotton\, soybeans\, corn\, tobacco\, strawberries\, sweet potatoes\, peanuts\, and watermelon. \nOn June 4\, the on-farm experience begins at Leggett Farming Partnership near Nashville\, showcasing diverse rotations and cropping systems that produce cotton\, soybeans\, corn\, tobacco\, strawberries\, sweet potatoes\, peanuts\, and watermelon. Brent and Sue Leggett\, along with their sons\, Colin and Carter\, are also partners in an integrated sweet potato packing/shipping operation\, as well as direct-to-consumer agritourism at Strawberry City\, which serves 800 people per day during harvest. \nLunch will be at the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station near Rocky Mount\, highlighting North Carolina’s unique research partnership among state agencies and universities and its cutting-edge trials on varieties\, disease pressure\, crop protection innovation\, and production methods. \nThe afternoon visit to Z3 Agriculture in Scotland Neck features producer Zeb Winslow’s 100% no-till and cover-crop system and his innovative equipment modifications for planting into high-residue covers. One of two finalists for the Sand County Foundation’s 2025 Carolinas Leopold Conservation Award\, Winslow collects data from on-farm research plots he designs and has tracked during the past 7 years to dial in his fertility program and varieties. \nIn addition to our host farmers\, other area farmers will be running stations at the two farm stops so attendees can learn from 10+ farmer perspectives and their operations during the full day.\nThe Conservation in Action Tour is a two-day celebration that kicks off June 3 with optional behind-the-scenes industry tours at BASF\, Cotton Incorporated\, and NC State Plant Sciences. \nThat evening\, attendees will gather in downtown Raleigh for the Celebration of Conservation Agriculture Banquet\, featuring keynote speaker Vivian Howard\, a champion for North Carolina’s farming families\, agricultural heritage\, and food culture. \nTo register and see the full agenda and speaker line-up\, visit ctic.org/tour or contact Elise Koning\, Project Director for the Conservation in Action Tour\, at koning@ctic.org.

The event\, hosted by the Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC)\, brings farmers\, agriculture professionals\, and conservation leaders together for hands-on\, on-farm learning. \nAttendees will take a deep dive into the data and technical assistance driving North Carolina’s diverse rotations and cropping systems that include cotton\, soybeans\, corn\, tobacco\, strawberries\, sweet potatoes\, peanuts\, and watermelon. \nOn June 4\, the on-farm experience begins at Leggett Farming Partnership near Nashville\, showcasing diverse rotations and cropping systems that produce cotton\, soybeans\, corn\, tobacco\, strawberries\, sweet potatoes\, peanuts\, and watermelon. Brent and Sue Leggett\, along with their sons\, Colin and Carter\, are also partners in an integrated sweet potato packing/shipping operation\, as well as direct-to-consumer agritourism at Strawberry City\, which serves 800 people per day during harvest. \nLunch will be at the Upper Coastal Plain Research Station near Rocky Mount\, highlighting North Carolina’s unique research partnership among state agencies and universities and its cutting-edge trials on varieties\, disease pressure\, crop protection innovation\, and production methods. \nThe afternoon visit to Z3 Agriculture in Scotland Neck features producer Zeb Winslow’s 100% no-till and cover-crop system and his innovative equipment modifications for planting into high-residue covers. One of two finalists for the Sand County Foundation’s 2025 Carolinas Leopold Conservation Award\, Winslow collects data from on-farm research plots he designs and has tracked during the past 7 years to dial in his fertility program and varieties. \nIn addition to our host farmers\, other area farmers will be running stations at the two farm stops so attendees can learn from 10+ farmer perspectives and their operations during the full day.\nThe Conservation in Action Tour is a two-day celebration that kicks off June 3 with optional behind-the-scenes industry tours at BASF\, Cotton Incorporated\, and NC State Plant Sciences. \nThat evening\, attendees will gather in downtown Raleigh for the Celebration of Conservation Agriculture Banquet\, featuring keynote speaker Vivian Howard\, a champion for North Carolina’s farming families\, agricultural heritage\, and food culture. \nTo register and see the full agenda and speaker line-up\, visit ctic.org/tour or contact Elise Koning\, Project Director for the Conservation in Action Tour\, at koning@ctic.org.
