SUMMARY:Forest Biodiversity and Species Shifts. Science and Practice: Addressing Forest Climate Change in Maine series #4
DESCRIPTION:Register (for one or more in the series) \nJanuary 6\, 2020\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET \nPresenters: Erin Simons-Legaard\, Assistant Research Professor in Forest Landscape Modeling \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:Woodland Owner Webinar Series: Farms and Forests
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 13\, 2020\n1:30 – 2:30 p.m. CT \nDo you farm on your property and also have woods? Use the woods on your property to your advantage. Combining forestry and agriculture practices can help improve the environment around you while increasing the productivity of your land. This webinar will explain what agroforestry is and how you can apply some of these practices to your property. We will also discuss some cost share opportunities to help you with these projects. \nAbout the presenters: \nGary Wyatt – Gary Wyatt is an Agroforestry Extension Educator and Extension Professor with the University of Minnesota Extension in the Extension Regional Office in Mankato\, MN. Gary promotes sustainable Agroforestry practices that are economical and protect our soil\, water\, wildlife and natural resources. Current issues include: Silvopasture\, living snow fences\, invasive species\, windbreaks\, riparian buffers\, forest farming\, bio-energy crops (willows & poplars)\, eco-system services\, tree and shrub selection\, community & school food forests\, edible and decorative woody plants and non-timber forest products. Gary has more than 36 years of Extension experience in Minnesota. \nAgroforestry: What is it and landowner funding sources. \nAgroforestry practices have been used to sustainably manage land for thousands of years around the world. Agroforestry is the intentional combining of agriculture and working trees to create sustainable farming systems. There are five Agroforestry practices: windbreaks\, alley cropping\, riparian buffers\, silvopasture and forest farming. All of these systems integrate agriculture and forestry plants and practices to produce multiple land and economic benefits. \nLearn about these practices plus landowner funding to support the adoption of these Agroforestry systems on lands in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Tree to Table. #1 in the Local Wood: Grow\, Build\, Live webinar series
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 20\, 2021\n2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET \nExplore the connections between sustainable forestry and craft woodworking using NEFF’s new conference tables as an example.\nWebinar participants will get an in-depth account of the design processes and sustainability considerations that went into creating a set of custom tables from local\, sustainably harvested wood. Mitch Ryerson\, a master carpenter and Professor of Sustainable Furniture Design at MassArt\, will tell the story of how his students developed a set of conference tables for New England Forestry Foundation\, from wood sourced from local forests managed according to the organization’s Exemplary Forestry standards. \nThe discussion will explore the connections between sustainable forestry and craft woodworking\, giving insight into how local wood can be used to create beautiful and sustainable goods to meet the challenges we face from global climate change. Participants will hear from Mitch about the features and details of the tables\, as well as the creative and prototyping processes the MassArt class engaged in to design them. Together with Massachusetts Woodlands Institute Executive Director Emily Boss\, we will then talk about the growth and harvesting practices used for hardwoods in New England\, and the positive climate benefits of forests\, forestry\, and furniture making. \nAbout the full webinar series: \nMassachusetts Woodlands Institute\, New England Forestry Foundation and Northern Woodlands present the Local Wood: Grow\, Build\, Live webinar series. Join us as we explore examples of how to grow\, build\, and live with beautiful and sustainable local wood products at different scales—from furniture to homes to institutional buildings. We will hear from presenters about their experiences working with local and regional wood\, what role the material and forestry can play in a sustainable economy\, and new technologies and applications for wood products that can help mitigate global climate change and spur innovation. \nThree 90-minute webinars will explore these themes through conversations between the presenters and staff leaders at Massachusetts Woodlands Institute and NEFF. We hope you will join us in these engaging discussions on the beauty and benefits of this local resource for communities across Massachusetts and New England.
