In April 2011, the Great Plains LCC began a monthly Science Webinar Series featuring GPLCC sponsored research as well as other science topics related to landscape conservation throughout the region. The webinars usually begin with a 60-minute talk followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
The next webinar will be in March. Please check back for details.
