Biographiesof the presenters for the Michigan Chapter ANR Week Seminar AMatter of Balance: Ecosystem Services and Sustainable Agricultureon March 9th at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center inEast Lansing, MI are now available.  You can also download theRegistrationForm which contains additional information about the Seminar andthe included luncheon.
 

Simply put, ecosystem services are the multitude of benefits provided by the environment. The idea of ecosystem services is nothing new. What is new is the way that ecosystem services are being considered by conservation organizations and natural resource managers. An ecosystem approach challenges us to consider all aspects of a proposed action, not just the primary purpose. For example, a grassed waterway helps to safely convey excess water off a field to reduce erosion, but how does this practice affect wildlife? Air quality? Carbon sequestration? Join us as we explore the world of ecosystem services and how to incorporate these ideas into the ways we manage our natural resources and environment.
