SUMMARY:All Hands on Deck to Conserve Monarch Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:The Monarch Joint Venture is a network of over 100 organizations across the United States working together to conserve monarch butterflies and their habitats. As a flagship for other pollinators and other conservation benefits\, the MJV works to engage people and partners from all backgrounds in habitat conservation\, education\, and science. Across different land uses from agriculture to rights-of-way to public lands to municipalities\, we need all hands on deck to bring monarchs and other pollinators back to sustainable population levels. In this session\, we’ll discuss how actions taken within your community are contributing to national monarch conservation efforts. We will cover various ways to get involved in monarch conservation in urban areas\, from planting pollinator gardens to participating in community science efforts and other community engagement activities. \nPresenter: Wendy Caldwell\, Executive Director\, Monarch Joint Venture

SUMMARY:Building a Community Through Conservation@Home: A Panel on Stewardship and Native Plant Gardening
DESCRIPTION:Conservation@Home is an educational and certification program focused on promoting and celebrating the use of conservation-minded gardening practices. By recognizing community and school gardens that meet our criteria of environmentally sound gardening practices in biodiversity\, water conservation\, and healthy soils\, this program helps create more connected landscapes throughout our communities. Community gardens that certify need to utilize informal/formal education tools to engage members. Panelists will present updates and share photos of their gardens\, their experience with Conservation@Home for Communities in Chicago\, successes and challenges with community building and gardening during COVID\, and their tips for growing native plants. There will also be time for Q & A from the audience. \nFacilitated by: Gemini Bhalsod\, University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator \nPanelists: Valerie Kehoe\, University of Illinois Extension Program Coordinator\, Alex Palmer\, Urban Naturalist\, and Emily Lambert\, Kellogg Garden Club Co-coordinator

SUMMARY:Community Food Navigator: Strengthening Community-led Food Solutions
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on session is to introduce the project to CCGA members\, and demonstrate the digital tools and stewardship methods in development that are designed to support visibility and connection among growers and gardeners. Staff and a few of the project’s current community stewards and contributors will together share our work and engage attendees about their perspectives and feedback on the value and functionality of the tools as an opportunity to shape their continued development. The goal of this session is to be a living demonstration of a stewardship model and tools that are designed to benefit Chicago gardeners\, who shape and sustain Chicago’s agriculture and food culture and landscape through their efforts in neighborhood engagement\, food access\, learning\, education\, and revitalization. This session will help gardeners to connect with the Navigator to shape the first versions of the project’s tools and methods for organizing\, stewardship and engagement to ensure they are of use and value to them. \nPresenters: Bahati Aimee\, Project Manager/Community Steward\, Deepa Gupta\, Project Director\, and Wendy Manning\, Lead Engagement Strategy / Integration

SUMMARY:Using Community Science to Build Urban Habitat for Monarch Butterflies (Spanish materials provided)
DESCRIPTION:Many people know about the staggering population decline in monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Community science programs can create an important point of engagement for community members from many backgrounds. For the last three years\, as part of a Field Museum community science project\, amateur scientists throughout the Chicago Region have monitored monarch caterpillars in their urban gardens for the Keller Science Action Center’s Monarch Community Science Project. Since 2020 this project has been available in both English and Spanish at bit.ly/monarchmonitors. As part of the monitoring protocol\, participants submitted weekly data surveys. We will share the results of those surveys and what they have taught us about important traits of urban gardens that help monarch caterpillars thrive. This talk will describe key insights we have gained during the course of conducting this community science project and how we hope to engage gardeners in the future to make a case for the valuable role urban gardens play in providing pollinator habitat. \nPresenters: Erika Hasle\, Conservation Ecologist\, Keller Science Action Center and Colleen McVeigh\, Urban Conservation Education Specialist\, Field Museum

This presentation will cover multiple testing options along a continuum of possibilities. Testing methodologies explored will include traditional soil testing options\, saturated media extract/greenhouse media testing\, plant tissue\, plant petiole sap\, and compost testing options. Also\, learn about current work being conducted by the University of Illinois Extension to explore alternative testing options for urban growers. \nPresenter: Zachary Grant\, Cook County Local Food Systems and Small Farms Educator
