Individuals with Carbon Sequestration training will be better equipped to make use of new technology to identify practices to support their work in watersheds.
Practical-based training and field work will allow learners to apply knowledge to authentic practice.
Successful completion of this microcredential will require participants to:
- Create short- and long-term goals for the watershed
- Investigate strategies to meet the goals
- Build a plan to measure success
- Put into practice, through a site visit, relevant adaptations to protect watersheds
By the end of this training, participants will have the skills to develop an adaptation strategy plan using carbon sequestration that will support the long-term health and sustainability of watersheds.
In order to develop competency, learners will:
- Understand the fundamentals of carbon sequestration and its applicability to watershed management.
- Describe the health of watersheds across the local area, using evidence and good data.
- Analyze evidence and best practices in the science surrounding carbon sequestration, its impact on watersheds, and the protection of riparian zones.
- Understand the difference between climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
- Understand the fundamentals of carbon sequestration and storage by natural assets in watersheds.
- Be able to Identify natural assets that have climate mitigation and adaptation capacity in their local area
- Identify threats to current natural assets impacting climate resiliency and carbon sequestration and storage capacity.
- Describe the importance of riparian zones for climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.
