SERIES: February 20 - March 12, on Tuesdays 11a.m. - 12:30p.m. MT
Join us for Unpacking the Carbon Credit Conundrum, a webinar series co-hosted by the Soil Carbon Solutions Center and Quivira Coalition, designed for ranchers, farmers and technical service providers. In conversation with producers, scientists and carbon market experts, we’ll learn the basics of agricultural carbon markets, specific case studies, how to assess different carbon projects and ask the right questions, and emerging opportunities for producers in carbon and ecosystem service markets. And we’ll learn from you about your hopes, challenges and questions regarding carbon credits.

Apprentice motivation can falters a few months in. We’ll discuss ways to co-create apprentice goals that take advantage of the built-in learning at your operation, and ways to keep that momentum going through the season, including identifying apprentice solo study, local resource people to learn from, and visiting other operations. Skill sheets are great prompts for this so we’ll discuss ways to make them truly effective and useful to you and your apprentice.
