SUMMARY:Northern White Cedar Field Tour
DESCRIPTION:Register today!  \nAgenda for download \nMorning coffee and light snacks provided. Please bring your own lunch\, water\, and snacks and dress for a field tour in the woods. \nCo-sponsored by the Forest Stewards Guild and the Vermont Land Trust \nJoin us in Greensboro\, Vermont for a day of exploration and learning about Northern White Cedar. Known as the tree of life\, Northern White Cedar has a variety of uses from fence posts\, shingles\, and cabin logs\, to fragrant and medicinal oil. We’ll discuss the ecological importance of cedar in our forest communities\, and we’ll literally dig into the dirt to talk about cedar regeneration\, ecology\, and silvics. \nLaura Kenefic\, research forester with the U.S. Forest Service\, and Jean-Claude Ruel\, professor at Laval University\, are co-authors on the Northern White Cedar Silvicultural Guide and will lead this field tour! We will tour through examples of northern white cedar recolonization in old fields\, stands where cedar occurs as an associate species\, and classic northern white cedar swamp. Liz Thompson and Dan Kilborn of the Vermont Land Trust and Ross Morgan\, consulting forester and a founding member of the Forest Stewards Guild\, will also lead group discussions about cedar ecology and management in the Vermont landscape. The content will be geared towards foresters and ecologists managing cedar communities\, but all cedar enthusiasts are welcome! \nThis event has been assigned 5.5 Category 1 CFE credits by the Society of American Foresters .

SUMMARY:Flights for Bats!
DESCRIPTION:Event flyer to download \nPlease support this great Halloween themed event in Minnesota! \nAs you know\, our local forest bat population is being decimated by an imported fungal disease called White Nose Syndrome. Bats are extremely important predators of insect pests that attack our forests! \nThese “Forest to Tap” craft breweries located in Minnesota’s north woods are stepping up to help save our forest bats. During International Bat Week October 24 – 31\, a portion of the proceeds from each flight of beer sold will be donated to the Bat Conservation International\, White Nose Syndrome research fund! \n“Flights for Bats” is intended to raise awareness on this critical issue; and hopefully raise some money as well! \nGuild member Mark Jacobs says it has been a great experience working on the “Forest to Tap” program with these community focused craft breweries in the Mississippi Headwaters. We encourage you to support them and this cause during Bat Week… \nIf you’re able to visit one of these fine establishments\, ask for a flight for bats and/or tell your server that you appreciate their efforts for forest bats! \nIf you can’t visit please consider sending them a note or e-mail\, as it’s important to let them know that those of us who care about the flora and fauna of our forests appreciate their efforts!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Introducing the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to all who joined the Guild as we hosted this webinar with our member Dr. Alexandra (Ali) Kosiba\, Research Project Coordinator for the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative and Staff Scientist for the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont. \nView the full recorded webinar \nDownload the presentation PDF \nThe Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative (FEMC; www.uvm.edu/femc) is a small office located in Burlington\, Vermont\, that supports a much larger network of cooperators across the greater New England and New York region. This unique relationship allows the FEMC to work across groups\, including land managers\, foresters\, policy makers\, researchers\, non-profits\, students\, and others involved with monitoring forested ecosystems\, from soil to water and wildlife to plants. Overall\, the FEMC strives to improve information sharing and data discovery for better understanding of the region’s forests. To do this\, we oversee a robust data archive\, host an annual scientific conference\, produce yearly condition reports\, perform field monitoring\, and build online data exploration and synthesis tools. In the last couple of years\, we have produced more data-driven online tools and collections – like the Northeastern Forest Health Atlas\, the DendroEcological Database\, and the Northeastern Forest Fragmentation Network\, among others. In this webinar\, I’ll introduce you to the FEMC\, showcase our online resources and data archive\, describe our current projects\, and illustrate how you can get involved with the FEMC.
