SUMMARY:Appalachian Cove Virtual Series - Aquatic Biodiversity webinar
DESCRIPTION:Photo by S. Austin. \nThis webinar is the last in a series that replaces an original event entitled Mountain Cove Forest Management and Conservation in the Central Appalachians. That original event will not be held due to Covid-19. \nRegister (after registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting) \nAquatic biodiversity in Appalachian coves\nNovember 6\, 2020\n12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET \nDownload the agenda \nApproved for 1 CFE credit from SAF. WV Master Logger program credits pending. \nThe Central Appalachian ecoregion hosts a diverse abundance of plant and animal species. Additionally\, this region is said to have the richest temperate freshwater systems across the globe. In this webinar we will look at the richness of the region through the lens of the Cheat River in West Virginia. We will be joined by Madison Ball with Friends of the Cheat for the bulk of the presentations. We will also have an additional special guest speaker\, Jeremy McGill from West Virginia Division of Forestry\, to speak about silviculture BMPs. \nSpeaker bio: Madison Ball received her B.S. degree in 2014 in Natural Resource Management\, and shortly thereafter moved to Bartow\, WV to serve as a Watershed and Fisheries AmeriCorps with the Monongahela National Forest for two years. She also served as a Watershed Technician for WV Trout Unlimited & the US Forest Service\, and was a seasonal Environmental Educator with Experience Learning (formerly The Mountain Institute) at Spruce Knob\, WV. Madison began her time with FOC as the Monitoring Coordinator in 2018\, and was promoted to Restoration Program Manager in 2019\, where the program has expanded to include ecological restoration activities such as riparian reforestation and aquatic organism passage improvements.

SUMMARY:How to balance forestry and biodiversity conservation? A view across Europe
DESCRIPTION:Register for this online conference \nNovember 9 – 10\n5:00 a.m. ET – 12:00 p.m. ET \nView the agenda \nVarious project initiatives over the past years have dealt with the topic of integrative forest management. The question on how to improve the situation for endangered species in multifunctional managed forests (see e.g. INTEGRATE\, INTEGRATE+\, INFORMAR and oFOREST) is key and these initiatives have thus provided a good overview of the state of biodiversity in European forests. This topic is well established now both at the political level and across Europe\, but is also taken up in other parts of the world\, mainly in regions which are meeting resource demands of other countries that are/plan to set aside large forest areas. It is thus essential that existing knowledge\, experiences and good practices on integrative forest management are made available to all actors in forestry and nature conservation at the implementation level in order to promote biodiversity within the framework of multifunctional forest management. \nConference participants will get a broad overview on options\, good practices and lessons learned. It will further allow them to identify common interests and challenges in practice\, policy and research\, discuss needs for further action while stimulating interaction and field visits within and across country borders.

SUMMARY:Managing Forests for Carbon and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Register \nNovember 12\, 2020\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET \nClimate change\, shifts in disturbance regimes\, massive fragmentation and loss of forests\, an increasing prevalence of non-native invasive insects\, diseases\, plants and animals have created considerable uncertainty around how to best care for our forests into the future. In response to these challenges\, foresters\, forest landowners and ecosystem managers are adapting their management techniques to help keep forests healthy and functional in light of massive environmental changes. \nResponsible forest management can help our forests adapt and respond to a changing climate\, encouraging the growth of healthy\, diverse forests with huge carbon sequestration and storage benefits. Responsible forest management can do all this while producing local\, renewable resources; lowering adverse social effects linked to resource extraction and presenting a kinder\, more just and more sustainable source of resources. \nJoin City Market and Ethan Tapper\, the Chittenden County Forester\, for a webinar discussing the effects of climate change on our forests\, and opportunities to manage forests for climate mitigation and for adaptation and resilience in a changing climate. \nThis class will be hosted on the Microsoft Teams platform. You will receive instructions and a link to join the live event in an email after registering online. We recommend setting up Teams in advance and joining the live event few minutes in early.

SUMMARY:Changing Climates and Forest Insect Impacts in the Northeastern U.S.
DESCRIPTION:This is part of the Forest Ecology and Mangament Webinar Series \nRegistration link coming on November 12… \nNovember 17\, 2020\n1:00 – 2:00 ET \nPresenter: Kevin J. Dodds\, Forest Entomologist\, U.S. Forest Service\, Forest Health Protection \nForests in the northeast face an array of threats\, with invasive species and changing climates at the forefront. Warming climates have been implicated in the spread of both native and invasive forest insects. Increased frequency of storms and the severity of these events can create opportunities for bark beetles and other insects to build damaging populations. Increased drought and tree stress result in less resilient trees that can succumb to defoliators and other organisms. Kevin will discuss three projects related to climate and insects\, including: \n\nrange expansions\,\nsevere windstorms\, and\nthe interaction of drought\, tree stress\, and defoliation on hardwood forests.
