The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service holds a series of webinars through its Science and Technology Training Library. On July 11, 2013 
2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EST, they will hold a webinar about farming for beneficial insects led by Nancy Lee Adamson, Ph.D., a 
pollinator conservation specialist. The webinar will cover how pollinators and other beneficial insects can help to ensure a healthy harvest and how farmers can support pollinators and natural enemies of crop pests (predators and parasitoids) by providing diverse habitat. New research will also be covered about how habitat adjacent to cropland supports improved pollination and reduces pest pressure. For more information, or to sign up, click here.
