Adrian J. Polansky, State Executive Director of the Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA), announced that the Kansas FSA will be participating in a webinar being hosted by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) and Kansas State Research and Extension concerning the potential listing of the lesser prairie chicken (LPC) as a threatened or endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The webinar will be held on April 30, 2013, beginning at 7 p.m.
Speakers from KDWPT, FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will provide background on the LPC listing status, as well as updates on the state planning effort, goals of the plan and priority areas. Detailed information on the conservation value of land and allocation of offset payments to landowners will be provided. State and federal programs specifically designed to improve habitat for LPC and what a proposed listing means to those enrolled in federal programs will be explained.
A webinar is an online communication technique that allows those with high-speed internet access to connect with the host site to view and hear the speakers on their home computer and chat via the internet with any questions or comments. Those who do not have high-speed internet access can participate at one of the 17 satellite sites listed below. Staff will be onsite to transmit questions and comments to presenters.
