SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Dismantling Environmental Racism
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, nearly 100\,000 deaths per year are attributed to fine particle pollution. People of color are three times more likely to face exposure to this deadly air pollution\, twice as likely to live near landfills and industrial plants\, which may increase the risk of being exposed to air and water pollutants\, and more likely to be exposed to unsafe drinking water\, as seen most notably in the recent Flint water crisis. These statistics reveal a repeated and disturbing pattern of environmental racism. \nEnvironmental racism refers to the institutional rules\, policies\, or decisions that result in the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on marginalized communities. Since the term was coined in the 1980s\, events including the 1982 Warren County PCB Landfill\, the seminal “1987 Toxic Waste in the United States” report\, and protests over pipeline construction on indigenous Americans’ historic land have highlighted these stark disparities. \nWhat is the history of the modern environmental justice movement in the United States? What are the ongoing injustices facing communities of color\, and how are stakeholders – including city\, state\, and federal government\, community groups\, non-profits\, and others – responding? What are the opportunities for and challenges to dismantling environmental racism? Join ELI and expert panelists for an in-depth exploration of environmental racism and opportunities to dismantle it as the priority shifts to a more equitable future. \nRegister for the webinar by November 2.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Longleaf Topics for NRCS Professionals in South Carolina: Fire & Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is offered as part of a training partnership between The Longleaf Alliance (LLA) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). \nLecture 1: “Introducing Fire to Young Longleaf Stands”\nLecture 2: “Wildlife in the Longleaf Ecosystem” \n\n\nThe first presentation\, titled “Introducing Fire to Young Longleaf Stands” will familiarize viewers with the fire ecology of longleaf pine and the benefits of prescribed use of fire in young longleaf stands.  Firing techniques\, burn unit preparation and planning principles will also be introduced\, in addition to parameters for successful burning. \n“Wildlife in the Longleaf Ecosystem” will be presented in the second hour. It will discuss the unique wildlife species that call longleaf home\, as well as detail their habitat needs and the management practices that enrich both the habitats and the populations that use them. \nNo registration is required. \nJoin from this page on the day of the webinar.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: The Importance of Management for Stabilizing Long-term Carbon Under Extreme Fire Weather
DESCRIPTION:Host: US Forest Service Southern Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Louise Loudermilk\, Ph.D.\, US Forest Service Southern Research Station \nAbstract: \nHardwood-cypress swamps\, or ephemeral wetlands\, that typically burned less frequently form a spatial matrix with their more frequently burned neighbors\, pine flatwoods\, causing unique patterns of low to high intensity fires\, variation in smoke emissions and overall ecosystem carbon stores in these southeastern forests. At the Osceola National Forest in Florida\, our group examined the effects of different long-term management practices (prescribed fire\, harvest\, no fire) during extreme fire weather across these two vastly different\, yet intertwined ecosystems using a simulation model. This presentation will discuss how future extreme fire weather may alter future fire conditions\, and how we can spatially optimize prescribed fire and timber harvest to manage wildfire risk. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_v2N_twSBRBS4-d8xAxx9hg

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Incorporating Cultural Intelligence to Develop Effective Climate Adaptation Planning
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is an installment of the Topics in Climate Change Adaptation Planning webinar series hosted by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Tribes & Climate Change Program in collaboration with the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center. \nCultural Intelligence (CQ) is the ability to relate and work effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds and goes beyond existing notions of cultural sensitivity and awareness. In culturally diverse situations\, CQ predicts: \n\nPersonal Adjustment and Adaptability\nJudgement and Decision Making\nNegotiation Effectiveness\nTrust\, Idea Sharing\, and Innovation\nLeadership Effectiveness\nProfitability and Cost-Savings\n\nTune in to learn more about cultural intelligence and how it can be used as a tool to enhance working relationships between tribes and supporting agencies to bolster the climate adaption planning process. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: How Both Short and Long Term Wildlife Research can Inform Management
DESCRIPTION:Long term research plays an invaluable role in informing natural resource management\, particularly for long-lived wildlife species. However\, short term and even opportunistic research can also yield important and sometimes surprising results relevant to management. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Smith will discuss management implications of a follow up survey of the alligator snapping turtle population on the Flint River\, 22 years after eliminating harvest\, the success of a forest restoration project in the eyes of pine snakes\, and the unexpected added value of surveys of one threatened species (the gopher tortoise) for the conservation of another (the gopher frog). \nNo registration is required\, join the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Introduction to Tribal Lands & Their Management
DESCRIPTION:More than 56 million acres of land across the United States are owned and managed by Native Americans\, however\, many natural resource professionals are unaware of the unique history\, legal status\, and management of these lands. This webinar is first in a six-part series providing insights on the history of native lands and their management ranging from treaties to wildlife\, fisheries\, forestry\, fire management and more. \nThere are 574 federally recognized Tribes in the United States as of 2020\, however\, they are often lumped together ignoring their uniqueness. \n\n\nThe Native American Fish and Wildlife Society has worked with Native American and Alaska Native Tribes and Tribal natural resource professionals since the early 1980s. This webinar will discuss the diversity of Tribal natural resource programs and the challenges and successes this presents. \nNo registration is required\, join the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Nine Insights from Living with PTSD: From Darkness to the Light\, a Wildland Firefighter Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Marc Titus\, Staff Specialist\, Nevada Division of Forestry’s Fire Adapted Communities and MS Student in Psychology\, Arizona State University. \nPTSD is quietly impacting wildland firefighters with its often devastating personal and professional repercussions. While no official numbers exist\, suicide has become another statistic now necessary to track within the wildland community as anecdotal data show an alarming trend. While agency’s come to grips with this burgeoning problem\, firefighters can educate themselves to better understand the dynamics of stress\, trauma and PTSD. This event will provide a unique view of the insidious nature of trauma\, its effects on the human being with an eye towards recovery and nine key insights derived from the experiences of a wildland firefighter afflicted by this nervous system injury. \nRegister here.
