Fwd: [SCGIS Listserv] Reminder: SCGIS Land Trust Webinar this Wednesday 04/22!

[Veronica Nixon]

Good morning Plant Mapping members,

I am forwarding a free webinar being organized for the land trust GIS community as there are so many overlaps with the plant mapping community and there may be useful resources to extend the capacity of plant mapping programs.

Best,

Veronica

Dear SCGIS Community,

This is a friendly reminder that we have a (free) webinar this Wednesday April 22!

Panel Discussion: Perspectives on GIS Capacity Challenges and Opportunities for Land Trusts and Conservation Organizations

April 22, 2026 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern / 12:00-1:00 pm Pacific Land trusts and similar organizations include a large network of conservation practitioners that pursue critical efforts for habitat conservation, water resources management, agricultural preservation, community engagement, and much more. However, many of these organizations lack dedicated GIS staff or may have limited knowledge of, or access to, data and tools to support best practices for conservation planning, storytelling, and other land or water resources management efforts. Leaders from the Genesee Land Trust, the Open Space Institute, and The Conservation Fund will discuss capacity challenges and explore potential solutions, including an emerging Conservation Consortium, that seek to bridge capacity gaps where needed the most. Speaker Line-Up: Lorna Wright, Executive Director, Genesee Land Trust Neil Jordan, Sr. Director of Geospatial Strategy, Open Space Institute Jennifer Blattman, GIS Manager, The Conservation Fund This webinar is open to the public, please share with your network! More information on the speakers can be found here: https://buff.ly/WtLal0D We look forward to your participation!

If you have any questions, please reach out to our coordinator, Stephanie (coord...@scgis.org)
