Tuesday, January 28, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Introduction to Species Distribution Modeling

Modeling species distributions has become essential to identifying which areas to protect in order to effectively conserve a given species now and into the future. During this Native Plant Trust online program on January 28 from 1 – 2, we will explore niche development and environmental envelopes and learn how they can be used to predict what areas are best suited as habitat for a given species. The program will conclude by looking at the different applications of species distribution models to help conserve species and predict future threats. $12 for NPT members, $15 for nonmembers. The class will be taught by Micah Jasny.
