Watershed Applications of the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF)
April 1-2, 2019, Nashua IA
Calling all watershed coordinators and planners!
Iowa State University Extension is hosting a training workshop specifically designed for watershed coordinators on the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) April 1st and 2nd in Nashua, IA. The training was developed by the University of Minnesota Water Resources Center along with UW Extension, the North Central Region Water Network, Purdue University, and ISU.
ACPF is a precision conservation tool that leverages high-resolution geo-spatial data to create output maps which are used to identify site-specific opportunities to install conservation practices across small watersheds. At the workshop, you’ll learn:
What ACPF is and how it fits into water resource planning and implementationHow the ACPF can improve the effectiveness of your conservation workHow to work with a GIS technician to develop effective mapsHow to explain the details of the assumptions behind each of the ACPF tools to farmers and community stakeholdersHow to use ACPF output maps to engage diverse stakeholders
No GIS expertise is needed. In addition to watershed coordinators, this training is perfect for supervisors, decision-makers and private consultants who work closely with watershed practitioners. Attendees will have the opportunity to work alongside instructors to develop a work-plan for incorporating ACPF into their work.
Registration is just $40! Space is limited so sign up before it’s too late.
