SUMMARY:Appalachian Cove Virtual Series - Ginseng webinar
DESCRIPTION:Three-pronged ginseng. Photo by Jennifer Chandler. \nThis webinar is the first in a series that replaces an original event that was scheduled for August 7\, 2020 entitled Mountain Cove Forest Management and Conservation in the Central Appalachians. That original event will not be held due to Covid-19. \nThis webinar was recorded \nThe effect of timber harvest on the growth of American ginseng\nAugust 7\, 2020\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET\nThis webinar is pre-approved for 1 SAF CFE credit \nGinseng agenda \nTimber harvest is a common disturbance that is important due to its ongoing\, cyclical nature and its direct effects on forest canopy structure. Most of the research regarding logging has focused on the study of trees\, with less emphasis placed on the incredibly diverse herbaceous understory. Due to the high demand for its root on the Asian market\, ginseng is the premier medicinal non-timber forest product in the United States. Historic accounts suggest that ginseng was once far more abundant than it is today\, and while over harvesting of ginseng for its root is often described as the primary cause of reductions in population size\, extensive changes in ginseng habitat caused by logging likely played a role in ginseng decline. \nIn this webinar\, we asked: “Do the traditional logging practices of eastern hardwood forests have negative side effects on the survival\, growth\, and reproduction of wild American ginseng?” \nPresenters: We were joined by Dr. James McGraw\, and Dr. Jennifer Chandler who is the Guild’s new Southeast Program Manager! \nJames McGraw is Professor Emeritus of Plant Population Biology and Ecology at West Virginia University.  He received his B.S. in Biological Sciences from Stanford University in 1978\, and his Ph.D. in Botany from Duke University in 1982. His ecological research has spanned field sites from Alaska to Colorado to Zimbabwe to Antarctica. For the past 20+ years\, a major focus of his lab’s work has been the study of valuable native medicinal plants of the eastern deciduous forest\, especially American ginseng. Dr. McGraw was an Aldo Leopold Leadership Program Fellow\, and he believes firmly that scientists must reach beyond the Ivory Tower to explain what they do\, and why.  \nJennifer “Jen” Chandler recently joined the Forest Stewards Guild as the Southeast Region Manager after spending several years in academia.  She received her B.A. in Business Administration from Transylvania University in 2004 and her B.S. in Biology from Northern Kentucky University in 2009 before completing her Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. James B. McGraw at West Virginia University in 2016. Her research has focused primarily on plant response to discrete and chronic disturbances\, including the response of American ginseng to both natural and man-made canopy disturbances\, and the impact of the invasive pest\, spotted lanternfly\, on woody plants in the forests of Pennsylvania.     \nA downloadable flyer for the full series will be updated as we have more information.

SUMMARY:Trails for People and Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Register \nTrails for People and Wildlife: A Guide to Planning Trails that Allow People to Enjoy Nature and Wildlife to Thrive\nThursday\, August 13\n3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET \nHiking\, mountain biking\, bird watching\, and horseback riding are just some of the ways we get outside to enjoy nature and relax. However even these seemingly low-key activities can have a negative impact on wildlife by reducing their abundance\, reproductive success\, or even survival. \nJoin Jim Oehler from NH Fish and Game as he presents a webinar on a new mapping tool and guide called “Trails for People and Wildlife” that aims to encourage people to get outside and enjoy nature while allowing wildlife to thrive. The tool was funded by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and produced by the NH Fish and Game Department and Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Intended for landowners\, conservation groups\, and natural resource professionals\, the objective of “Trails for People and Wildlife” is to help facilitate the placement of thoughtfully located networks of well-maintained trails. It seeks to balance having wildlife species there for all of us to enjoy for years to come while providing trail planners and builders with the resources needed to achieve their public access goals. \nYou can also check out wildnh.com/trails for more information and to download the guide.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Appalachian Cove Virtual Series - Tom's Run "Field Tour"
DESCRIPTION:This virtual field tour is the second in a series that replaces an original event entitled Mountain Cove Forest Management and Conservation in the Central Appalachians. That original event will not be held due to Covid-19. \nA virtual tour of Tom’s Run Preserve in West Virginia \nDownload a one-page\, PDF study companion to the video above. \nThis is a pre-recorded field tour made available on September 8\, 2020. \nThe stands at Tom’s Run vary from early successional ‘old-fields’ of red maple\, black cherry\, poplar\, and locust to ‘almost old-growth’ oak-hickory and mixed-mesophytic stands of between 100 and 140 years old. Of particular interest is a large stand of recently (2014) high-graded mixed-mesophytic forest\, previously quite similar to the older mixed-mesophytic forest but now radically different in species composition and structure. \nTopics that will be addressed: \n\nCombatting invasive species like Ailanthus\nRegenerating oak species\nHydrologic impacts of management\n\nA downloadable flyer for the full Appalachian Cove Virtual Series will be updated as we have more information.

SUMMARY:Forest management from a landowner's perspective (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register \nWednesday\, September 9\, 2020\n1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET\nApproved for 1 SAF Category 1 CFE credit \nForesters often talk with landowners about the value of working with a professional in managing their land\, but professionals frequently do not get candid feedback from their clients. What is the experience of taking care of a property and working with a forester\, from the owner’s perspective? \nLandowners Bet and Patrick Smith of rural northeastern Connecticut will share how they came to own and steward their woodland and will discuss their experiences and lessons learned from working with different private and public foresters. We will also be joined by Connecticut NRCS District Conservationist Bill Purcell\, who has worked with the Smiths and many other landowners and is familiar with common issues that can arise. \nThis “flipped” webinar will be a good opportunity for foresters and allied professionals to learn from landowners and participate in a facilitated discussion about how we can best work in partnership. \nThe event is part of a larger USDA Forest Service tri-state grant project focused on Increasing Resiliency in Southern New England Oak Forests.

SUMMARY:Using Trail Cameras to Study Wildlife Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Register \nWednesday\, Sept 9\n4:00 – 5:15 p.m. ET \nThis one-hour talk followed by Q&A will introduce trail cameras – how they work and how to set them up – and then discuss smart camera placement so that you too can capture photos and videos that reveal the secret habits of animals. These “camera traps” have become critical to wildlife research because they are a noninvasive way to shed new light on the private lives of wild creatures. But\, you don’t need to be a scientist. Anyone with curiosity\, persistence\, and an inexpensive trail camera can study cutting edge animal behavior topics. \nAbout the Presenter:\nWith a master’s degree in conservation biology and a Level III Wildlife Tracking certificate from CyberTracker\, Janet Pesaturo teaches wildlife tracking and camera trapping through Winterberry Wildlife in Massachusetts. She is the author of Camera Trapping Guide: Tracks\, Sign and Behavior of Eastern Wildlife and chronicles her nature discoveries and adventures in a blog at winterberrywildlife.ouroneacrefarm.com. This program is made possible by gifts to the NH Coverts Project.

DESCRIPTION:Register \nSeptember 17\, 2020\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. PT \nSevere wildfires threaten forests and communities of the northern Klamath Mountains. Historically these forests thrived with frequent\, low-mixed severity fire. However\, hotter\, drier summers\, a century of fire exclusion\, and past destructive logging practices are increasing the likelihood of destructive fire. Insights from historical fire regimes and stand conditions have been integrated with contemporary evaluations of wildfire risk and habitat needs to inform the collaboratively derived Rogue Basin Cohesive Forest Restoration Strategy. \nDr. Kerry Metlen\, Forest Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy of Oregon\, will share this approach to thinking about forest management from an integrated regional perspective in a webinar open to all (recording will be available afterward).

SUMMARY:Appalachian Cove Virtual Series - Invasives webinar
DESCRIPTION:Bittersweet taking over a stand of trees. Photo courtesy of EcoForesters. \nThis webinar is the third in a series that replaces an original event entitled Mountain Cove Forest Management and Conservation in the Central Appalachians. That original event will not be held due to Covid-19. \nInvasives in Appalachian cove sites\nWatch the webinar recording\nOctober 2\, 2020\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. ET \nPre-approved for 1 SAF CFE credit\nPre-approved for 1 CE credit with MD-DE Master Logger Program \nAgenda for download \nForests in the Southern Appalachians have seen a steady increase in non-native invasive plants for decades. Did you know that invasive plants are present on 1 out of every 10 southern forest acres? These invasives inhibit regeneration and growth of native trees and plants\, adversely affecting the overall health of our forests. They can even destroy native forests! EcoForesters is a non-profit professional forestry organization dedicated to conserving and restoring Appalachian forests through education and stewardship\, and one way they do that is through invasive species control. \nAbout EcoForesters Non-Native Invasive Species Control Crew: developed to provide landowners an option for ecological stewardship action by improving your forest’s health through invasive species assessments and control.  Our crew mechanically treats targeted species predominately through the use of handsaws and hatchets\, with the assistance of herbicides tailored for specific species. \nThis webinar will talk about managing non-native invasive plants that threaten cove forests. Through interactive example scenarios\, you will gain the tools needed to start the journey of implementing invasive species treatments on properties you manage or your own land. \nSome questions we will answer: \n\nWhat can I do if my property is overrun with invasives?\nHow do I identify invasives?\nAre the treatments the same for every species?\nWhat tools do I need?\nWhen should I treat invasives?\nI’m a forester and work with landowners. What should I tell them to do about their invasives?\nHow do I communicate with landowners the importance of site preparation to limit the spread of invasives?\n\nPresenter Bios \nAndy Tait: Andy has been the EcoForestry Director at EcoForesters since its inception in 2015. He oversees all of EcoForesters’ Southern Appalachian forestry projects\, including forest stewardship planning and timber sale administration. Prior to this position\, he spent 6 years conducting on-the-ground research on forest restoration at the US Forest Service’s Southern Research Station and the Bent Creek Experimental Forest in Asheville. In addition\, he also did hands-on ecologically beneficial stewardship on both public and private woodlands in western North Carolina. \nMary Vann Johnston: Mary Vann is the Non-native Invasives Control Crew Leader with EcoForesters. She received her B.S. in Environmental Science with a concentration in Sustainable Forestry from Warren Wilson College. She began her career in forestry with a student internship at Forest Stewards and after college began working full time at Blue Ridge Forestry in Asheville. Mary Vann is passionate about her work at EcoForesters because of its dedication to positive impact forestry\, conservation\, and education here in the Appalachian Mountains. \nA downloadable flyer for the full Appalachian Cove Virtual Series will be updated as we have more information.

SUMMARY:Maine Mountain Collaborative Symposium on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, we postponed the Symposium originally scheduled for May 14-15 in Rangeley\, Maine to October 26-27\, 2020. \nAlthough we are disappointed about the postponement of the Symposium\, we are pleased to announce that the Editors of Northeastern Naturalist have approved a special issue to be published based on Symposium topics and presentations. We will move forward with the special issue despite the postponement; specifically\, draft papers will be due to issue editors (Nelson and MacKenzie) by September 1\, 2020 with a likely final publication date in spring 2021. As you continue to work on your Symposium presentation projects\, please consider submitting a paper for consideration in the special issue. It does not need to be focused solely in Maine – papers are welcomed that have broader regional relevance. If you are considering submitting a paper\, please email Sarah Nelson at snelson@outdoors.org for more information and updates. \nAbstracts for posters to be presented at the symposium will continue to be accepted until September 1\, 2020 (same deadline for draft papers). The Call for Abstracts can be found on the Maine Mountain Collaborative website.
