SUMMARY:How Carbon Credits Influence Commercial Forest Management
DESCRIPTION:Register (includes full series) \nMonday\, November 13\, 2023\n12:00 – 12:50 p.m. ET \nThis is one session\, led by Guild member Kyle Burdick of Baskahegan Company\, in the Yale Forest Forum‘s fall’s speaker series titled: Understanding Climate Smart Forestry in Practice. \nClimate-smart forestry has become a buzzword across the forestry sector and beyond. In this webinar series\, we will learn from practitioners and researchers about how they put climate-smart forestry into practice. We will also learn how forests can be managed to enhance their carbon storage capabilities and/or increase their resilience to the impacts of climate. We will hear from speakers from public sector organizations\, nonprofits\, researchers\, and academics from across the U.S.\, as well as practitioners “on-the-ground.” \nThe series is jointly hosted by The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment\, the USDA Northeast Climate Hub\, and the USDA Southeast Climate Hub\, and co-sponsored by the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture. \nThe speaker series is free and open to all. The webinars will be recorded and captioned\, and recording links will be emailed to registrants after the live event.

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion Series: Fire History as a Bridge Between Ecological Knowledge Systems
DESCRIPTION:Register \nNovember 16\, 2023\n11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET \nApproved for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters. \nThis panel discussion will explore how different types of fire history information (Indigenous Knowledge and physical archives)\, when considered together\, provide improved context for understanding the ecologies and processes that are linked to the restoration and stewardship of fire-adapted communities. The panelists include Indigenous Knowledge holders and practitioners\, and experts in tree-ring\, sedimentary\, and archeological fire history\, who have collaboratively used fire history information to bridge cultures and knowledge systems. The discussion will use case studies in the Upper Great Lakes Region where a diverse set of partners wove these types of knowledge together to restore cultural fire to the benefit of globally-rare pine barrens communities.
