SUMMARY:The Innovation Summit: Overcoming the Invasive Species Challenge
DESCRIPTION:From the Innovation Summit: \n“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.” \nRegistration deadline is November 25th\, 2016.  View the event flyer for details. \nSponsored by the Smithsonian Institute\, National Invasive Species Council Secretariat\, Island Conservation\, Conservation X Labs\, and Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force \n  \n

SUMMARY:Plants on the Move: How Public Gardens Can Help Control Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:From the Morton Arboretum: \nHelp curb the spread of problem plants escaping from cultivation \nPublic 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. \nThe 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. \nFind out more and register at the Morton Arboretum webpage.

SUMMARY:Cornell Plantations 2016 Fall Lecture Series:  It's for the Birds
DESCRIPTION:From Cornell Plantations: \nLandscaping 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.

SUMMARY:Wild Pig Conference 2016
DESCRIPTION:From the Wild Pig Conference page: \n“Damage caused by wild pigs is one of the greatest concerns to wildlife biologists and managers today. Wild pigs have the potential to cause ecological and economical destruction far surpassing any other invasive exotic vertebrate. The adaptive and prolific nature of these animals along with their capabilities for widespread devastation places their management as one of the top priorities for wildlife scientists. The International Wild Pig Conference is the only forum in the world that provides federal\, state\, and private stakeholders a venue to discuss biological\, financial\, and social implications specific to wild pig subsistence in our ecosystems. The conference will assemble experienced managers as well as those new to the wild pig industry in a professional\, educational atmosphere. Please visit our website links to find out how you can participate in the 2016 Wild Pig Conference!”

DESCRIPTION:From the ForestConnect Webinar Series:\nSubscribe to this series at: http://www2.dnr.cornell.edu/ext/forestconnect/web/subscribe.htm\n\nThere are significant impacts of deer and invasive plant species on forests and woodlands\, and these deer and plant impacts can interact. Join Dr. Bernd Blossey of the Cornell University Department of Natural Resources for this webinar. Bernd will introduce new metrics on how to assess deer damage and then discuss implementation of suburban deer management programs in the Ithaca area. These new approaches have resulted in substantial deer reductions in several towns and may function as a blueprint for other communities struggling to find their own process to deal with overabundant deer herds. \n\nInstructions for registering and attending this webinar: \n\nRead all these instructions.\nYou need a personal registration ID to join this month’s webinar.  There is unlimited space for participants\, the ID simply provides you the necessary access code.  Obtain your registration ID via:    https://cornell.webex.com/cornell/onstage/g.php?MTID=e9bc1ba3add2cf523230e030e48133fa7  If prompted for a password\, use C0rne11F0rest (the word “CornellForest” except the o = zero= 0 and L = the number 1; the numbers are in red font).\nOn the webpage where the above link takes you\, look for the option to “register” to receive your “registration id” number.  Note this page also includes the option to download resources related to this webinar (if available).\nWait for the email that contains your personal “registration id” number (a couple minutes at most usually).\nJoin the webinar via the “click here” button in this email to open into your default web browser (e.g.\, Internet Explorer or Firefox).  The “click here” button should open into the webinar\, or display a page indicating the webinar is not active.  If the webinar is not active\, that means the host isn’t connected and you will need to wait until the host connects.  If the page opens into a rather generic “Cisco WebEx” page then your browser may not be compatible with WebEx and you should copy and paste the full link found in the email (following “click here”) into an alternate web browser.  Using an alternate web browser usually solves most connection problems.\nTest the sound capacity of your computer by accessing a website with sound (e.g.\, video clip on a news website\, Youtube\, etc.).\nAs you enter the webinar\, you may be asked to test your media player.  If so\, you will need to complete that step.\nAs you enter the webinar\, you will be given the option to download software; you can bypass that step and enter the webinar directly.  I’m not aware of any problems that have arisen from downloading the software (which streamlines subsequent access\, but you should make this decision for yourself.)\n\n

SUMMARY:Ithaca Native Landscape Symposium
DESCRIPTION:From the INLS page: \n“The Ithaca Native Landscape Symposium is based on a simple idea: the use of native plants should remain an integral part of sustainable landscapes. We see many fields adapting rapidly to goals of sustainability\, but horticulture in Central NY has been slow to embrace native plants\, which have been standard landscape tools in many other parts of the country for decades. In Central NY\, quality information on native plants remains elusive\, with marketing standing in for ecology or substance.​\n​\n​The Symposium offers alternative ideas\, knowledge and perspective presented by experts and professionals​ from our region and beyond. It is for landscape architects\, designers\, educators\, Master Gardeners\, government employees\, homeowners\, gardeners\, naturalists and anyone else eager to learn more about this growing movement.​” \nVisit the INLS webpage to view the speaker schedule and to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Weed Wrangle:  A Template for Engaging Local Communities through Citywide Invasive Plant Events
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of a series for National Invasive Species Awareness Week hosted by the National Association of Invasive Plant Councils. \nInspired by national and international efforts now underway\, Weed Wrangle Nashville represents a fresh new push to stem the tide of biological pollution in local communities. The goal is two-fold: restoration and preservation. Organizers seek to raise awareness of the “green scourge” before more of our native plants lose the fight for the light and nutrients they require to survive. The Garden Club of Nashville\, a member of The Garden Club of America\, and GCA members from Chattanooga\, Memphis and Knoxville are working hard to pull in other local groups to establish a corps of organized resistance to this blight on our environment. Friends of Warner Parks\, Greenways for Nashville and the Radnor Lake State Natural Area are just a few of the partners now backing Weed Wrangle Nashville.  The first annual Weed Wrangle was held in Nashville\, TN during the 2015 National Invasive Species Awareness Week. This event acted as a template for other cities in the United States to engage local communities to pull together to learn about and manage invasive plants. Steven Manning will discuss the financing\, staffing\, PR and goals behind this project including 10 sites (from elementary schools to the Nashville Zoo) that created a circle of natural areas around the greater Nashville area.  The 2016 event has spread statewide and the event sponsors envision this being a national event within two years. \nFind out more or register at NISAW.org.
