2017-11-17 08:00 - 17:00 | Roosevelt Hall, Farmingdale State College, 2350 Broadhollow Road, Farmingdale, NY, 11735, United States
From the event website:
As our natural resources and native habitats dwindle, and the last of our available open spaces become developed, it is incumbent upon landowners, businesses, municipalities, and the public to collectively provide both the stewardship and the habitat that local native fauna require to improve biodiversity, support local wildlife populations, and keep the native ecosystems upon which we depend healthy and thriving. The production and incorporation of ecotypic (genetically) native plants into our regional landscape requires dedication to this progressive effort and many partners. The 4th LINPI Native Plant Symposium, “Flora for Fauna” brings together top plant, restoration, and wildlife professionals to share their vision, leadership and expertise at this one day educational event, to encourage the use and stimulate a commercial supply of ecotypic flora for the benefit of regional fauna.

Workshop on the Science and Management of Ash Forests after Emerald Ash Borer
2017-07-25 - 2017-07-27 | The Inn on Lake Superior, 350 Canal Park Dr., Duluth, MN, 55802, United States
From ashworkshop.org:
The emerald ash borer (EAB), first detected in 2002 in North America, is rapidly spreading throughout the United States and Canada, targeting all native ash species. The loss of ash will have important economic, social, and ecological impacts, especially in areas where ash is the dominant canopy species, such as wetlands and riparian areas. This workshop is offered to help prepare for and mitigate the anticipated challenges.
Join managers, land owners, and researchers for presentations, field tours, and posters aimed at the expected changes from the loss of ash and management options for resilient ecosystems. Topics will include silvicultural approaches, options for species transition, hydrologic changes, plant community response, biogeochemistry, and more!
