Natural Areas: A Key Part of Sustaining Old-growth February 10, 2026 | 12 p.m. ET, 11 a.m. CT, 10 a.m. MT, 9 a.m. PT
The values that guide the protection and management of natural areas are an ideal match for retaining existing, but rare, old-growth forests and allowing recovering forests to age into such conditions. This webinar will explore the opportunities for natural areas managers to serve as key stewards for retaining and recruiting old-growth forests and considerations for managing special places that operate on timescales far longer than our own. Additionally, you will learn about the Old-Growth Forest Network, a national network of protected existing and future old-growth forests, and how you can join this community.

Beyond the Data: Communicating Science and Impact with GIS March 17, 2026 | 12 p.m. ET, 11 a.m. CT, 10 a.m. MT, 9 a.m. PT
Join Sunny Fleming, Director – Environment, Conservation & Natural Resources Solutions, Esri, and colleagues for a special two-part webinar series focused on communicating the impact of your work. You may register for one or both programs.
Leading land management organizations are leveraging GIS to connect with new audiences and offer innovative ways to communicate the impact of their work. ArcGIS StoryMaps, Dashboards, Hubs and more have become essential tools for telling compelling stories, engaging stakeholders, and demonstrating the impact of conservation work. Behind these storytelling tools is a comprehensive spatial ecosystem that supports every stage of a land manager’s workflow; from planning and prioritizing conservation actions to tracking field activities, organizing data, and sharing results with stakeholders.
The first webinar in the series will introduce best practices for implementing holistic GIS workflows and provide inspiration and practical guidance for getting started.
