SUMMARY:Webinar:  Treating Firewood is a Hot Topic: seasoning\, solarizing\, kiln drying\, and heat treatment
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of a series for National Invasive Species Awareness Week hosted by the National Association of Invasive Plant Councils. \nUnfortunately\, firewood is a common vector for the spread of many forest and tree pests throughout North America. Join us for a combined NISAW and Firewood Outreach Coordinating Initiative webinar discussing the various effective (and potentially ineffective) ways that firewood is treated in order to prevent the spread of forest pests. We will bring in experts from the private sector and USDA APHIS to talk about their efforts to slow the spread of invasive species through better firewood treatment. Comparisons of low energy treatments such as debarking\, seasoning\, soaking\, and solarizing will be contrasted with heat treatment at various levels. \nFind out more or register at NISAW.org.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Protecting the Sierra Nevada from Invasive Plants:  Incorporating Climate Adaptation into Wildland Weed Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of a series for National Invasive Species Awareness Week hosted by the National Association of Invasive Plant Councils. \nCalifornia’s Sierra Nevada mountain range is valued for its wildlife habitat and natural beauty as well as its timber resources and role in the state’s water supply. Due to its remoteness and climatic extremes\, the Sierra has been less affected by invasive plants than most other areas of the state. With increasing development and recreational pressures as well as a warming climate\, this is changing. Local organizations across the region teamed with the nonprofit California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) to develop strategic priorities for addressing the spread of invasive plants at the landscape level with targeted management projects. Supporting ecological resiliency to climate change is a fundamental objective of this effort\, and was integrated into project design. We present the invasive plant management work in the Sierra\, and draw lessons about how practitioners can integrate climate resiliency into their projects.  \nFind out more or register at NISAW.org.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Volunteers Make a Difference in an Early Detection Rapid Response Citizen Science Program
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of a series for National Invasive Species Awareness Week hosted by the National Association of Invasive Plant Councils. \nAfter prevention\, Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) is the most effective method to control the establishment and spread of new populations of invasive plants. Invasive species management is often constrained by time and resources. In 2012\, the Pacific Northwest Invasive Plant Council (PNW IPC) developed an EDRR Citizen Science Invasive Plant Program in order to support county\, state and federal management agencies working to locate and eradicate invasive species in Washington State. To date the PNW IPC’s EDRR program has trained over 260 Citizen Scientists to identify target EDRR species and conduct surveys in natural areas on county\, state and federal public lands in Washington and Oregon State. We will present how our volunteers have made measurable progress in the effort to detect report and eradicate priority invasive plants from public lands since 2012. We will also present other metrics of success\, challenges and lesson learned. \nFind out more and register at NISAW.org.

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Let’s take a hack at hack and squirt individual plant treatments
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of a series for National Invasive Species Awareness Week hosted by the National Association of Invasive Plant Councils. \n“Hack and squirt” is an individual plant treatment technique widely used for woody invasive plants across the United States. The basic method involves making a series of cuts around the circumference of a tree and immediately applying a concentrated herbicide solution into the cuts. As simple as this seems\, there is tremendous diversity among researchers and land managers in exactly what is meant and what is done with this technique. In reality\, hack and squirt may entail labor intensive girdling type cuts\, overlapping frill cuts\, injection for evenly spaced cuts\, and a myriad of tools to accomplish these methods. We will review different types of hack and squirt treatments\, tools\, and herbicides used. We will also discuss selectivity\, herbicide flashback\, and how hack and squirt techniques compare to other IPT methods. Get ready for a fun and informative lecture\, and let’s take a hack at hack and squirt! \nFind out more or register at NISAW.org.

SUMMARY:Challenges to the Catskills Forests: Understanding Issues\, Moving Towards Solutions
DESCRIPTION:From CCE Colombia & Greene: “Our regional trees and forests are being impacted by invasive insect pests\, overwhelmed by competing ground vegetation\, and eaten by deer! Why should we care? Trees and forests clean our water and air\, sequester carbon\, support wildlife\, provide local energy and valuable wood resources\, plus provide places to recreate and relax. Come hear about these topics\, have discussions on how we can find solutions and learn about valuable resources to help deal with these issues. This program is for anyone who cares about trees and forests including municipal officials\, forest landowners\, resource managers\, foresters\, loggers\, and agencies and organizations working on these topics. Credits will be available for planning board members\, SAF foresters and TLC loggers.”

SUMMARY:Hemlock Woolly Adelgid: A Hard Nut to Crack Webinar
DESCRIPTION:From the Northeastern States Research Cooperative:\n\n“Eastern hemlock is a valued component of New England’s forest\, annually adding about $100 million to the economy in New York and New England. Thirty-seven percent of eastern hemlock is found in New England. Hemlock contributes significantly to the biodiversity of the Northern Forest\, playing a key role in erosion control along streams\, and providing food\, shelter\, and shade for a wide variety of wildlife and fish. Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) is an exotic invasive insect pest that is ravaging hemlock forests along most of the eastern seaboard and continues to expand its distribution\, threatening the entire range of eastern hemlock. In 2008\, a significant natural decline in HWA populations in New Hampshire was observed by state foresters. HWA in these areas showed signs of infection\, from which fungi were isolated. Through morphological and molecular analyses\, NSRC researchers confirmed that the fungus was Myriangium sp.\, an entomopathogen of scale insects they had found in past field studies. This project investigated the dynamics of this fungal-induced widespread disease of HWA\, suggesting ways to exploit this natural agent for sustained HWA management in the Northern Forest.” \n\nRegister here for the webinar.\n\n

SUMMARY:Native Plant Summit:  Current Status\, Conservation\, and Outlook for Plants of the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:From The New York Botanical Garden: \n“The northeastern U.S. hosts a rich diversity of native plants\, many of which play essential roles for humans and the environment. Alarmingly\, a significant number of these species are experiencing a precipitous decline. Many are imperiled as a result\, including one-quarter of species native to New York State. Despite these figures\, no comprehensive or integrated program exists to study trends across the region. Through a series of compelling presentations\, followed by a panel discussion\, this Summit will address the gaps in our knowledge by bringing together experts to present and discuss the state of the area’s plant species\, plot the best course forward\, and highlight ways in which everyone can make a difference for native plants in the Northeast.” \nFor topics and speakers\, and to register\, visit NYBG’s webpage.
