SUMMARY:Foundations of Forest Wildlife Habitat Management - Habitat through Disturbance and Silviculture
DESCRIPTION:To register free of charge\, click on the date below for each event that you will be attending. All sessions are from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET. \nOur guest lecturer is Dr. Brenda McComb\, Dean Emerita\, Oregon State University. \nThis is a 5-part focused lecture series and this event page will be updated as the dates pass. Each topic builds on the last\, so attendance at all presentations is highly recommended\, but not required. \nThe Forest Ecology Working Group and the US Fish and Wildlife Services National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) are pleased to offer this series to introduce fundamental principles of forest habitat management. This is a great opportunity to learn or revisit fundamental forest habitat management principles from a premier ecologist with more than 100 publication under her name. \nSeries Description: \n\nRegister for July 14 – Habitat Selection by Forest-Associated Species: Abiotic factors Lecture series overview and introduction to habitat\, habitat selection\, and abiotic elements influencing forests and habitat for selected species.\nRegister for July 28 – Saving all the Pieces: Forest structure and Composition Introduction of biotic factors affecting forests and forest composition and structure as habitat elements\nRegister for August 11 – Forest Disturbance and Stand Dynamics Forest development stages\, successional pathways and characterization of forest disturbances\, both background and human-caused\, based on size\, frequency and intensity\, with a brief introduction of silviculture as one type of disturbance\nRegister for August 25 – Silviculture as a Forest Disturbance Introduction to even- and uneven-aged silvicultural systems and management practices used to regenerate and tend forests to provide desired habitat elements.\nRegister for September 15 – Habitat Considerations: Dead wood and Riparian Areas Additional forest management considerations for specific habitat components critical to certain wildlife species including riparian areas\, dead wood\, legacy trees and other unique features.\n\nSeries Objectives \n1. Introduce concepts & theory and of wildlife habitat selection and application of forest management to provide habitat for selected species or conservation of biological diversity. \n2. Help participants with forestry\, wildlife\, environmental sciences\, fisheries and related backgrounds to find a common ground when approaching management of forests for multiple values. \n3. Introduce approaches of managing forests to achieve desired conditions for selected species or conservation of biological diversity. \nContact John Ossanna with technical questions or if Closed Captioning is required: john_ossanna@fws.gov

SUMMARY:Family Meetings and Governance in Woodland Legacy Planning (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register today\nYour registration confirmation email will have the details you need to join the meeting. \nJuly 14\n7:00 – 8:00 p.m. ET \nMost private woodland owners wish to keep their land in the family and intact into the future. Unfortunately\, many of these woodlands will not remain in the family. The biggest risk to a successful transfer from one generation to the next\, is a lack of communication coupled with challenging family dynamics. Family lands can fail to make it to the next generation because the family cannot resolve differences or failed to address them during the lifetime of the owner(s). By starting the conversation now\, holding family meetings and establishing a system of governance\, you can leave a long-term woodland legacy for the use and enjoyment of your family. \nDr. Mary Sisock and Audrey Winograd\, JD\, MSW\, experts on land legacy planning\, will discuss the principles and processes of effective family meetings and governance. This presentation is for all woodland owners at any stage of the succession planning process. There will be time for Q&A. \nThis webinar is sponsored by Kings Point Capital Management and hosted by Vermont Woodlands Association.

SUMMARY:Woodland Owners Webinars: Protecting Our Oaks (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nJuly 15\, 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. CT\nThis webinar is hosted by the St. Croix River Association and is approved for 1 Category 1 CFE credit. \nOaks are an important part of our ecosystem and economy. They provide habitat and food for wildlife\, their wood is used for furniture\, making barrels\, and heating\, and large oaks can increase the value of your property. But sadly\, oaks are in need of a helping hand. High deer populations\, diseases and pests\, and other factors lead to poor oak regeneration. John Geissler\, Saint John’s Abbey Land Manager and Outdoor University Director\, will discuss their research on oak management and dealing with high densities of deer while Paul Cigan from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will discuss oak wilt in northwest Wisconsin. \nPresenters: \nJohn Geissler\, Land Manager at Saint John’s Abbey Arboretum who will talk about Adaptive management for future oak forests in the hardwood hills of Minnesota–a 20 year journey \nDirector at Saint John’s Outdoor University and Paul Cigan\, Forest Health Specialist for Northwest WI at Wisconsin DNR who will talk about Oak Wilt in Northwest WI

SUMMARY:Restoring resilient ecosystems\, communities\, and economies in complex terrain: the Western Klamath Restoration Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThursday\, July 23\nNoon PT \nCFE credit pre-approval is pending. \nThe Western Klamath Restoration Partnership (WKRP) has been working to maintain resilient Klamath ecosystems\, communities\, and economies guided by cultural and contemporary knowledge. Four decades of all too frequent megafires have greatly impacted communities and the instream and upslope habitats upon which they depend\, but also created one of the most “skookum” regions in the West. \nWKRP partners\, including the Karuk Tribe\, USFS\, NGO’s\, industry and environmental groups\, through an intensive collaborative effort\, have created a plan for restoring fire process at the landscape scale. By addressing the social\, ecological\, economic and cultural aspects of fire through multi-scalar strategies\, the WKRP has built social license to utilize prescribed fire extensively in the Wildland Urban Interface through a shared risk model. Manual and mechanical thinning to create strategic fuel breaks allow for increased use of managed wildfire and larger scale prescribed fires\, while protecting assets at risk. \nIn this webinar\, WKRP co-lead Will Harling (Mid Klamath Watershed Council) will address the complex fire history of the Klamath Mountains\, how fire exclusion and now climate change that have created the Perfect Storm for megafires\, and the strategies developed by WKRP to protect communities and valued resources\, maximize carbon storage\, and restore fire process and indigenous fire management. Specific examples from the Somes Bar Integrated Fire Management Project that is currently being implemented on 5\,600 acres of NFS lands will highlight how WKRP strategies are implemented on the ground. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available in the Guild’s webinar library after the live event.
