SUMMARY:Mesophytic Coves: Hope for Hemlocks
DESCRIPTION:Register \nNovember 14\, 2025\nNoon – 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nWebinar on zoom – a join link will be sent to you after registration \nNorth Carolina’s hemlock trees need your help. We have two species of hemlock in North Carolina – the eastern and the Carolina. The invasive hemlock woolly adelgid threatens both. \nThough hemlocks are declining\, there is hope to bring them back to their previous glory. The mission of the Hemlock Restoration Initiative (HRI) is to work with a variety of partners and existing programs to restore hemlocks to long-term health throughout North Carolina and ensure that eastern and Carolina hemlocks can resist hemlock woolly adelgid and survive to maturity on North Carolina’s public and private lands. \nJoin Olivia from the HRI to learn about hemlock ecology\, woolly adelgid biology\, what is being done to help\, and management strategies.

SUMMARY:Ponderosa Pine Utilization Summit
DESCRIPTION:Register  \nTuesday\, November 18 – Thursday\, November 20\, \nHigh Country Conference Center\, Flagstaff\, AZ \nSummit Purpose: \nTo engage a diverse group of forest managers\, industry leaders\, researchers\, and policymakers in strategic discussions that examine the state of ponderosa pine forests and industry in the western United States. Through case studies\, intentional dialogue\, and working sessions\, attendees will identify key barriers\, develop practical solutions\, explore innovations\, and determine the resources needed to stabilize and grow the utilization of ponderosa pine. \nGoals: \n\nDevelop a shared understanding of ecological and industry conditions for ponderosa pine\nIdentify barriers to scaling restoration and product utilization\nHighlight emerging innovations\, research\, technologies\, and successes\nCollaboratively identify strategic actions in policy\, research\, markets\, and infrastructure\n\nSee full agenda

SUMMARY:Influence of resources\, Invasive Chinese Tallow\, and environmental stress on bottomland forest species
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar \nNovember 19\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. – Noon ET \nPresenter: Zhongqian Cheng \nThe survival and growth of bottomland tree species in floodplain ecosystems are largely driven by species-specific resource and environmental conditions\, and invasive Chinese tallow presences. Unpredictable timing and duration of hydroperiods have introduced greater uncertainty in seedling survival and growth. Dr. Cheng will present findings from one field study and two controlled greenhouse studies on several bottomland forest seedlings. These studies examined the underground and aboveground conditions needed for seedling survival and the response of seedling height growth to the presence of Chinese tallow\, shade\, and flooding conditions. We will discuss the management implications for monitoring bottomland forest restoration and controlling invasive species. \nPresenter Bio: \nI am currently a postdoc research associate in Forest Ecology and Management at Stephen F. Austin State University. I hold a PhD in Ecology from Peking University\, a master’s degree in Silviculture\, and a bachelor’s degree in Forestry from Beijing Forestry University. In addition\, I have worked or studied in Sweden\, Finland\, and Germany. My research interests focus on understanding forest dynamics and functions\, and the role of silviculture practices in supporting sustainable forest management under changing climate and disturbance regimes. \nThis webinar is approved for 1 Category 1 continuing education credit through SAF. \n \nThis webinar is sponsored by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
