SUMMARY:💡 CE: Virginia Master Naturalist Statewide Conference and Volunteer Training 2025
DESCRIPTION:Registration required. \n\n\n\nOverview​WhenThe 2025Virginia Master Naturalist Statewide Conference and Training will be Friday\, September 5 through Sunday\, September 7. Pre-conference field trips and activities will take place during the day on Friday and the main event will run Friday evening through Sunday mid-day.   \n\n\n\nWhereOur Pocahontas and Riverine Chapters welcome VMN volunteers from across Virginia to the Richmond region. We will be based at the Westin Richmond in Richmond\, Virginia. \n\n\n\nWhatThe Virginia Master Naturalist Statewide Conference and Volunteer Training is an opportunity for VMN volunteers to share ideas and learn from each other\, to participate in high-quality continuing education sessions\, and to learn about a region of Virginia that may be different from their home communities.  \n\n\n\nEach year\, one or more of our local VMN chapters serve as the host chapter(s) for the conference\, helping to choose programming that showcases their local natural areas\, presenters\, and style.  The programming includes both on-site sessions and off-site field trips to visit natural resource highlights of the area.  We emphasize hands-on learning and skill-building\, trying to choose sessions that relate to the education\, citizen science\, and stewardship volunteer work that VMN volunteers do. \n\n\n\nWhoDue to the nature and limited space of our VMN conference\, only certified VMNs\, VMN members\, VMN trainees\, and partners from our state agency sponsors (including chapter advisors) may attend.

SUMMARY:💡 CE: Proper Native Tree Planting for Long-Term Success (Virtual - Penn State Extension)
DESCRIPTION:The success of newly planted trees depends on more than proper planting techniques—site selection and follow-up care are just as essential for ensuring healthy\, long-term growth. Join the Master Watershed Steward program and a Community Tree Specialist from the Bureau of Forestry to learn how to choose the right planting location for your native trees and shrubs\, considering microsite conditions and the size of your planting area to help your trees thrive.  \n\n\n\nRegistration Required. \n\n\n\nLog your hours Better Impact under Category 2\, Continuing Education.

SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Catch the King Data Collection Training
DESCRIPTION:Catch the King is an annual community science initiative that mobilizes volunteers to map the extent of tidal flooding during perigean spring tides\, also known as “king tides.” \n\n\n\nThese tides represent the highest astronomical tides of the year\, occurring when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun align\, and the Moon is at its closest approach to Earth (perigee). \n\n\n\nParticipants in the event use a mobile app that collects location-based data points along the water’s edge at peak high tide. This in-person training session will prepare participants to use the app and collect data. \n\n\n\nThis crowdsourced data collection effort contributes to high-resolution mapping of tidal inundation areas\, providing valuable empirical data for hydrodynamic modeling and flood forecasting. \n\n\n\nLog your hours in Better Impact under category 14.
