SUMMARY:Webinar: Wood Utilization\, Land Use and Global Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nJune 3\, 2020\nNoon PT\, 1:00 p.m. MT\, 2:00 CT\, 3:00 ET \nJoin the last webinar in this spring’s Forest Climate Working Group Learning Exchange Series! \nNew wood products like mass timber offer the potential to dramatically reduce the emissions associated with core industrial activity while storing carbon in end-products. Under the right circumstances\, forest products demand could incentivize conversion of marginal agricultural lands into tree farms. \nFocusing on mass timber as a case study\, what is the current state of knowledge of forest products as a climate solution? What are the risks and opportunities of demand-led climate solutions? What tools do decision makers need in order to maximize the potential contribution of forest products to climate mitigation? \nPresenter bio: Mark Wishnie is Executive Director and Head of Sustainability at the BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group. At BTG\, Mark is responsible for sustainability across the firm’s c. $3.5 billion global timberland portfolio and leads the firm’s climate-focused investment practice. Mark joined BTG from The Nature Conservancy\, where he led the Global Forestry & Wood Products program and a portfolio of initiatives aimed at delivering on the massive climate mitigation potential of forests and the broader forest economy.

SUMMARY:Burning in Hardwoods (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register today. \nJune 10 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nThis free\, two-hour webinar is hosted by the North Carolina Prescribed Fire Council\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, NC State University\, and the University of Florida. Society of American Foresters CFE Credit is expected. \nThere is increasing interest in using prescribed fire to restore and maintain Piedmont ecosystems dominated by hardwood species. This webinar will address several topics relevant to those using prescribed fire in Piedmont hardwood ecosystems\, including the history of North Carolina Piedmont hardwood ecosystems\, wildlife impacts for game and non-game species\, and silvicultural considerations. This webinar is co-sponsored by the North Carolina Prescribed Fire Council\, but will cover information relevant for fire practitioners in many areas of the South. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers. This webinar will be recorded. \nA subsequent field tour in Central North Carolina will be scheduled once restrictions related to COVID-19 have been lifted. \nPresenters:\nSharon Bischof\, North Carolina State Parks\nChris Moorman\, NC State University\nDan Dey\, US Forest Service Northern Research Station

SUMMARY:Considerations for evaluating effects of wildfire to Northern spotted owls (NSO) and NSO habitat
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nJune 16\, 2020\n1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET \nFull event flyer for download \nFire is a natural ecosystem process and forest dependent wildlife evolved with\, and are well adapted to fire. Spotted owl responses to fire continue to be the topic of significant research\, investigating changes in occupancy\, foraging behavior\, colonization and site extinction probabilities\, and movements. The effects of wildfire on spotted owls can be either positive or negative\, depending on the size\, severity\, and landscape position of the fire. In this presentation we will explain how we are currently working with partners to conserve spotted owls in post fire landscapes. Our methods are applicable to all spotted owl subspecies but may need to be tailored to local conditions and species needs. \nPresentation Objectives: \n\nLearn about how fire influences the use of habitat by spotted owls\nBetter understand how post-fire timber harvesting might impact spotted owls\nExplore ways to minimize adverse impacts to spotted owls when conducting timber salvage or post-fire restoration activities\n\nPresenters: Christine Jordan and Bob Carey\, Fish and Wildlife Biologists\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, Yreka California. \nThis webinar is part of The Forest Ecology and Management Webinar Series sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Forest Ecology Working Group (FEWG). The FEWG is a forest ecology based community of practice for individuals to share forest ecosystem expertise and information.
