SUMMARY:Changing Faces of Forestry - an online discussion
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nPanelist bios \nRevised event – details below…. \nAll are welcome! \nThe Forest Stewards Guild has been around for 25 years. As we celebrate this anniversary and look back\, by the nature of the Guild’s focus we must also look to the next 25 years. This is a time for more than remembrance\, it is a time for reflection\, mutuality\, and regeneration. Interpersonal dynamics\, lessons learned in the forestry field\, and the lessons to come are just as complex as a forest’s ecology. During this session\, forestry professionals with varied years of experience among them will share where they are in their careers and how forestry has changed. \nWe will then build off our panelists’ insights and continue the discussion together. Thinking back on your stories and experiences we will discuss where we are going\, our legacy and the legacy of the forests we conserve. This is the time to reflect and talk about our challenges\, barriers\, and opportunities for forestry. Rather than simply debrief our status\, we hope to spark and encourage different thoughts and actions for the future of forests. \nWe welcome you and your colleagues and students of forestry to join and engage and connect. \nAgenda: \n\nWelcome & Introductions\nPanelist Discussion\nBreakout Group Discussion\nSummary and Closing Remarks

SUMMARY:Tracking Shifts in Disturbance Regimes - online tool intro webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nNovember 3\, 2021\nNoon – 1 p.m. ET \nThe Forest Ecosystems Monitoring Cooperative of the University of Vermont is excited to announce the release of the new online tool “Tracking Shifts in Disturbance Regimes.” The tool allows users to track changes\, explore trends\, and look for shifts in causes of and responses to disturbance regimes across northeastern forests. Specifically\, this project focuses on the extent\, frequency\, and severity of disturbance caused by native and non-native insects and diseases\, flooding and high wind events\, drought\, and fire. Studies exploring the responses to disturbance by macroinvertebrate communities\, coldwater fisheries\, and invasive plants are also available for users to further investigate how disturbances are impacting northeastern forests. \nTo use the tool and read the technical report\, please visit the project page: https://www.uvm.edu/femc/disturbance/ \nThis webinar will provide further information about using the tool and share results of trend analyses as presented in the technical report.
