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!”

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Interactions of deer and invasive plants: impacts on forest health
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.

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.”
