SUMMARY:Warming/Changing Winters. Science and Practice: Addressing Forest Climate Change in Maine webinar series #3
DESCRIPTION:Register (for one or more in the series) \nDecember 2\, 2020\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET \nPresenters: Sarah Nelson\, Conservation Research Director\, Appalachian Mountain Club\, and Jay Wason\, Assistant Professor of Forest Ecosystem Physiology \nThe Forest Climate Change Initiative and Forest Stewards Guild invite you to join us each month as a panel of researchers\, scientists\, and stakeholders tackle issues of climate change and how it is influencing Maine’s forests and forest economy. Although Maine’s forest is relatively unique\, these webinar topics are open discussions aimed at an audience in or outside of Maine. We believe these issues and challenges that need addressing are similar to other regions. Better understanding and articulating commonality as well as differences will be important for testing effective solutions\, particularly when drafting potential policies.

SUMMARY:Carbon Markets Panel for Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Register \nDecember 2\, 2020\n6:00 – 7:15 p.m. CT \nJoin us for a virtual panel discussion about the science and management of carbon sequestration on private lands! New policies are helping landowners earn money by capturing carbon in woodlands\, grasslands\, and agricultural soils. Yet carbon trading may not be the best option in all contexts\, and navigating the regulations required for participation can be a daunting task. \nIn this panel discussion\, get an introduction to the science and logistics of carbon sequestration on private lands from scientists\, industry leaders\, carbon market participants\, and critics. \nOur panelists include: \nAngela & Anthony Waupochick\, Menominee Forest Managers\nCharlie Mitchell\, Journalist and Organizer at the Wisconsin Farmers Union\nGregg Sandford\, PhD\, Research Scientist in the UW-Madison Agronomy Department\nJeff Cole\, Credit Sales at Carbon Forest Works\nJonathan Shears\, Family Forest Carbon Program and American Forest Foundation\nJosh Parrish\, Director of the American Forest Carbon Initiative for The Nature Conservancy\nJon Stewart\, an Oregon landowner working with Forest Carbon Works\nTim Leiby\, Landowner and Early Participant in Carbon Markets \nModerated by:\nKylie Clay\, Forest Carbon and Climate Program\, Michigan State University \nOrganized by:\nTyler Byrnes\, Anna George\, Ben Iuliano\, Gabriela Motta\, Ben Nickley\, Niko Tutland\, Tierney Bocsi\, and Adena Rissman\, in partnership with the UW Madison Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies and the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology.

SUMMARY:Minnesota Forest Management and Wildlife Habitat Summit
DESCRIPTION:Register ($50 SFEC members and students\, $100 SFEC nonmembers. Includes exclusive access to recorded content.) \nDecember 8 – 10\, 2020\n9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CT \nAgenda \nCFE credits are pending. \nOriginally planned as a large symposium modeled after our October 2017 event\, this is offered by the University of Minnesota’s Sustainable Forests Education Cooperative (SFEC) in collaboration with the Minnesota Forest Habitat Collaborative. During three\, 3-hour sessions\, we’ll dig into: \n\nhow much forest-dependent wildlife habitat is enough\,\nhow that answer varies by species group and habitat type\, and\nhow we determine how much is enough at the landscape and site levels.\n\nExpect a series of short presentations with active online discussion. \nEach session will include time for both presentations and active discussion. We’ll treat this like a short online course\, with optional readings and other resources before each session. Expect active engagement and plan to get out of it as much as you put in!

SUMMARY:East Jemez Landscape Futures: A collaborative approach to post-fire (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register \nDecember 15\, 2020\n12:00 – 1:00 p.m. MT (1:00 CT) \nThe East Jemez Landscape Futures (EJLF) project is a collaborative\, landscape-scale approach to help guide future planning and research efforts in the severely altered landscapes of the eastern Jemez Mountains. EJLF seeks to address uncertainty by building a network of land managers\, scientists\, artists\, NGOs and interested community members to inform future management\, identify research needs\, and capture stories from individuals and communities who were affected by these changes. \nThis webinar will share the EJLF experience and lessons learned responding to the complex questions of post-fire landscapes. \nHosted by the Burned Area Learning Network and the Southwest Fire Science Consortium \nPresenters: Colin Haffey\, Sasha Stortz\, and Savannah Lehnert

SUMMARY:Saying Yes to Wildlands and Woodlands
DESCRIPTION:Register \nDecember 15\, 2020\n4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET \nThe webinar will demonstrate that protecting both wildlands and woodlands is an effective approach to addressing climate change\, biodiversity loss and economic security\, and it should prove interesting to people who are simply curious about forest conservation to experts who work in related fields. \nSummary: \nHow can New England best protect its forests as the region sits at the precipice of climate change\, biodiversity loss\, development\, and forest fragmentation? \nThe answer to this question often falls in one of two camps: either conserve forests as working lands that provide timber and other forest products\, or protect them as wildlands without timber harvesting. In this critical and timely discussion\, two region-wide conservation organizations who approach forest protection from seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum will show how the strategies of protecting wildlands—forests largely left in a natural and undisturbed condition—and woodlands—forests managed to provide wood products—are not in conflict\, but can in fact be complementary. \nHosted by New England Forestry Foundation\, Northeast Wilderness Trust\, Highstead Foundation\, and Harvard Forest
