You'll delve into the intriguing world of native prairie grasses, discover the reasons behind their alarming decline across North America, and learn what you can do to help protect the small patches which remain.
Bryana will guide you through the grasses and teach you how to identify the beautiful plants which flourish within this resilient ecosystem. They will also share stories about how people used these plants to cure toothaches and mosquito bites and what can be done to protect and restore this valuable ecosystem."

Sustainability Network:

"This webinar will focus on this under-developed area of "problem understanding," providing an overview of how to use your "55 minutes" wisely. It will cover a range of key questions, frameworks, concepts, and dive into a couple of the 30 tools outlined in the book to help you spend more time identifying, framing, observing, and listening to the system(s) that created and sustain a conservation or other environmental challenge you are working to address. The webinar will help environmental activists, organizations, funders, and policy makers spend less time "solving the wrong problem precisely" and more time navigating the complexity of the challenge and asking more beautiful questions that may point to new directions, alternatives, and possible places to leverage change."

Sustainability Network:

"The work you do is vital, and collaboration is critical to the mission’s success. So why does the work get tripped up when people come together? Because conflict and tension are inevitable, especially when people care so deeply. Conflict is not simply a hazard to be avoided. With a bit of courage and the right tools, conflict can be a gateway to greater possibilities.

In this participatory workshop, you’ll learn:
- The six core drivers of conflict, which are common to internal teams and external collaborators
- Where to focus first to start transforming conflict
- Effective techniques you can use in any conflict
- How to go from intractable disagreements to collaborative solutions
‍
Who This is For
This workshop will be valuable for people of any experience level who work on teams, or across teams, where collaboration is essential."
