SUMMARY:Communicating for Climate Change Adaptation (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAugust 13\n9:00 a.m. PT/ 10 MT/ 11 CT/ Noon ET\nThis webinar is approved for 1 CFE credit by SAF \nAs we work to confront impacts of climate change and to support adaptation in our forests\, being able to communicate effectively with other professionals and stakeholders is crucial. Our final webinar in the Forest Adaptation Series will address best practices for talking about climate change with natural resources professionals and woodland owners. We will offer a series of short examples of communication for climate change adaptation emphasizing woodland owners\, and conclude with a forum discussion on engaging diverse audiences for climate adaptation in our forests. \nRecordings from the full webinar series are available. The series was hosted by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science and the Forest Stewards Guild.

SUMMARY:Carbon and Carbon Markets (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register \nWednesday\, August 19\n4:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET \nForests across the globe\, including those that blanket Vermont\, have tremendous potential to help us mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration and storage. Increasingly\, there are a number of programs that aim to compensate forest landowners for providing this important ecosystem service. These programs include both regulatory and voluntary forest carbon markets\, which can be dizzying in their complexity. In this webinar\, Dr. Caitlin Littlefield of UVM’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources will help demystify forest carbon markets and discuss the ways that landowners can promote carbon sequestration and storage—via or independent of these markets. She’ll briefly discuss the important roles of both sustainable forest management and wood products with regards to carbon as well as how critical it is to simply keep forests forested in the face of global change.

SUMMARY:Virtual Forestry Stewardship 101
DESCRIPTION:Register (free) \nAugust 19\, 2020\n6:30 – 8:00 p.m. CT \nThis event is geared towards Aitkin County residents with 20 acres of forested land\, but all are welcome to join us as we talk about the basics of forest stewardship and managing your lands for things like wildlife\, water quality\, and forest health. \nAitkin County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)\, MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR)\, and My St. Croix Woods (an SCRA program)\, are partnering up to provide you with several options and opportunities in your area to help keep your woods healthy and forested. Watch drone footage of Aitkin County’s forested lands\, learn about tax incentive programs and cost-shares\, and hear about how you can potentially permanently protect your land with an easement\, and connect with your local foresters to ask your woodland questions.

SUMMARY:Old Growth Forests (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register \nOld Growth Forests: What They Are\, Why They’re Important\, and Opportunities for Management \nWednesday\, August 19\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET \nOld growth forests can be defined as forested ecosystems which have developed somewhat independently over a long time\, usually at least several centuries. In addition to being beautiful demonstrations of how forests naturally grow and develop\, old growth forests are incredibly valuable for our landscape. They are diverse and resilient\, feature amazing habitat opportunities for wildlife\, provide clean air and clean water and store more carbon than the relatively young forests that dominate Vermont’s landscape today.  Vermont contains very little old growth forest today\, although ecologists have placed an ideal target of 6.7% of Vermont’s landscape (9% of our forests) to be maintained as “old forest.” \nJoin Ethan Tapper\, the Chittenden County Forester\, for a discussion of old growth forests. Ethan will discuss what old growth forests are like (it may surprise you!)\, why they should be important to us\, and what our role may be in helping develop new old growth on our landscape. \nIn addition to allowing forests to grow and develop into old growth on their own\, new research has highlighted opportunities to manage forests actively to become more like old growth forests sooner than they would naturally. Combined with an ecological forestry approach\, this presents an opportunity to manage forests while increasing biodiversity\, resiliency and overall health. Ethan will discuss opportunities for employing this approach across Vermont’s landscape.
