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!
Visit the workshop website for more information on the program, registration, and lodging.

The Innovation Summit: Overcoming the Invasive Species Challenge
2016-12-05 | National Museum of the American Indian, 4th Street & Independence Av. SW, Washington D.C., 20024, United States
From the Innovation Summit:
“We are convening a major gathering of leading scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs to solve seemingly intractable problems – problems that leave us vulnerable to the adverse impacts of invasive species. Invasive species are non-native organisms that adversely impact the environment, economy, infrastructure, cultural resources and identity, and/or human and animal health. They are estimated to cost the U. S. nearly $200 billion annually. Together, we will celebrate new opportunities to prevent, eradicate, and control invasive species, as well as identify the next big scientific and technical challenges to be overcome.”
Registration deadline is November 25th, 2016. View the event flyer for details.
Sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute, National Invasive Species Council Secretariat, Island Conservation, Conservation X Labs, and Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force

Public gardens have special knowledge and perspectives on plants that escape cultivation and invade natural areas to disrupt ecosystems. Join with the staffs of public gardens of all sizes, as well as others concerned with invasive plants, and bring your expertise and on-the-ground experience to collaborate on ways to identify, monitor, and manage plants spreading beyond horticultural plantings.
The Morton Arboretum, the Midwest Invasive Plant Network, and the Ohio Invasive Plants Council will convene this summit on the scenic grounds of the Arboretum on Thursday, November 10, with a working group meeting following on Friday, November 11.

Cornell Plantations 2016 Fall Lecture Series: It's for the Birds
2016-11-02 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Statler Hall Auditorium, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, 14853, United States
From Cornell Plantations:
Landscaping in our crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore. Many bird populations in the U.S. are in steep decline, in part because our gardens and managed landscapes occupy more space than natural areas, and we have not designed them with birds in mind. To save our feathered friends, we cannot view plants simply as ornaments, but must consider all of their roles when selecting them for our landscapes. Doug Tallamy, the author of Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, will discuss what birds need form our landscapes to breed successfully, and the important roles native plants play in maintaining food webs vital to birds’ survival. His talk will emphasize the benefits of designing landscapes with these roles in mind, and explore the consequences of failing to do so.
