SUMMARY:Wildlife & Carbon Webinar (NAFSE Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register \nWednesday\, June 16\, 2022\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET \nWebinar (join information will be sent to you after registration) \nWe will hear from Caitlin Littlefield\, Lead Scientist at Conservation Science Partners\, and John Scanlon\, recently retired MassWildlife Habitat Program Manager\, as they examine the trade-offs between maximizing forest carbon and habitat restoration goals. These trade-offs and knowledge of the related climate impacts can help land managers and landowners determine what management goals best suit the land they are on and what sustainable forest practices are needed. This webinar will then delve into the implications of these trade-offs specifically for pitch pine-scrub oak barrens and the wildlife therein.

Among these practices include timber stand improvement and prescribed fire. During this field tour we will look at treatment sites that were once loblolly plantations and have now been planted with shortleaf pine seedlings and treated with prescribed fire. We will also look at a mature shortleaf pine stand that has recently been treated with prescribed fire and compare results.   \nThis work has been completed as part of the Forest Stewards Guild’s Cumberland Plateau Shortleaf Pine Restoration Program\, funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.   \nAgenda outline (full agenda and maps coming soon) \n9:00 – Registration opens\n9:30 – Tour starts \nPotential stops and topics of discussion: \n\n\n\nMature age class of loblolly contrasted with the current grassland\nShortleaf pine plantings and native grassland species emerged since disturbance\nLandscape-scale vistas\nInvasives control\nStreamside management zones disturbance mitigation\nMature forest contrast – with and without fire\n\n\n\n12:30 – Tour ends \nLogistics:  \n\nWater and snacks will be provided at the beginning and at the end of the tour.\nPlease bring a full water bottle and sturdy shoes/boots for walking.

SUMMARY:Fire Adapted Ecosystems and Working Forests - Berea College
DESCRIPTION:Registration extended \nJune 24\, 2022\n1:00 – 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nLocation: Forestry Outreach Center at Berea College\, 2047 Big Hill Road\, Berea\, KY. We will be meeting at the garage space right next to the center. \n3.5 SAF Continuing Forestry Education credits approved. \nThe purpose of this event is to look at the intersection of fire adapted ecosystems and working forests. Berea College has been practicing forest management for over 100 years. Situated on the Cumberland Plateau\, the forests that make up and surround the college are historically fire-adapted. We will discuss how fire management compliments forest management on the College Forest\, and why it is important to practice both. We invite natural resource practitioners\, community members\, and forest landowners – anyone who is interested in learning about using fire in working forests. \nOutline of the day’s agenda: \nAgenda – \n1:00 pm – Presentations \n\nFire Adapted Ecosystems on the Cumberland Plateau\, Dakota Wagner\nWildlife and Fire\, Tom Edwards\nBerea College Forest Management\, Clint Patterson\n\n2:00 pm – Field tour (on a well-traveled walking trail in the Berea College Forest)\n4:45 pm – adjourn\, optional Pinnacle hike
