SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Stewart Udall and the Politics of Environment and Race
DESCRIPTION:Stewart Udall left a profound impact on land conservation and racial issues. As the U.S. Interior Secretary during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations he successfully advocated for the creation of many national parks and monuments\, and encouraged Lady Bird Johnson to undertake a national beautification program. He led the way for most of the environmental legislation we now take for granted\, including the Clean Air and Water and Wilderness Acts\, Wild and Scenic Rivers and National Trails Acts\, and the National Historical Preservation Act\, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund. He also fought for pesticide reduction and mining reclamation\, endangered species protection\, gas mileage requirements\, and rapid transit systems. \nBy no means was his work limited to the land. As Secretary and in his private life Udall also worked for racial justice. He fought successfully to end Jim Crow era segregation at the University of Arizona and broke with the Mormon Church over its refusal to allow Blacks in the priesthood. As Secretary\, he hired the first African American rangers in our national parks\, forced the Washington Redskins (now the Washington Football Team) to integrate their team\, championed self-determination for Native Americans\, and fought for redress and compensation for Navajo uranium miners and other victims of the atomic age. \nDiscussing this transformative yet underappreciated figure will be John de Graaf\, director of the upcoming PBS film “Stewart Udall and the Politics of Beauty.” \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Working Lands for Wildlife - The Long View: Sustaining Our Oak Forests
DESCRIPTION:This FREE working lands webinar hosted by Ruffed Grouse Society &American Woodcock Society and the NRCS Working Lands for Wildlife program will educate landowners and natural resource professionals on working lands conservation programs intended to benefit wildlife species and promote forest diversity. \nThis webinar has been approved for the following. Please register here to receive credit. \n\n2 CFE credits (category 1) with the Society of American Foresters\n2 CEUs (category 1) of the Certified Wildlife Biologist® Renewal/Professional Development Certificate Program for participation in the webinar\nUSDA-NRCS Conservation Planner Certification\n\nRegister here. \nThroughout history\, oak forests have been appreciated for their enormous ecological\, economic\, and social value. These benefits are widely acknowledged by foresters\, wildlife biologists\, hunters\, conservationists\, and landowners. \nHowever\, successfully managing oak forests is no easy task. It requires knowledge\, forethought\, and patience. Due to land-use history\, fire suppression\, and poor or lacking forest management we are gradually losing our oak forests throughout the Central Hardwood Region and Eastern United States. \nIn this webinar\, we will take the “Long View” by looking back in time to see how human history has influenced the oak forests we have today. This historical grounding will allow us to look forward and consider how our actions today can ensure we restore and sustain oak forests into the future. \nTo do this\, we must first gain a comprehensive understanding of the history of our oak forests in the Central Hardwood Region and learn about their widespread value to people\, deer\, grouse\, songbirds\, and pollinators. We will then look more closely at current research and how these dynamic forests grow and change in the face of natural and human disturbances. Speakers will then share practical examples of far-reaching\, thoughtful forest management on family land and how those examples can be replicated to perpetuate our oak forests throughout their range.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Fighting Fire with Fire: Rx Fire Toolbox to Combat Identified Social Barriers
DESCRIPTION:Elevated fuel loads together with projected hotter and drier climatic conditions will likely lead to more frequent erratic wildfires in the western USA. Recognition that changing climate and decades of fuel accumulation are increasing the risks of wildfire has led to calls for fire management reform\, including the widespread use of prescribed fire to reduce fuel loads. However\, this shift in fire management emphasis is failing to be widely adopted due to social and regulatory barriers to using fire. To ensure fire management reform is broadly adopted on private land in the western states\, the attitudes of stakeholders towards the use of prescribed fire as a wildfire reduction tool need to be clearly understood. \nPresenter: Dr. Urs Kreuter \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Fire Suppression and Mesophication of Upland Oak Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Historically pyrophytic and open-canopied upland oak landscapes across the central and eastern U.S. are shifting to closed-canopied forests dominated by shade-tolerant\, often fire-sensitive species. Mesophication\, a hypothesized process initiated by intentional fire exclusion by which these encroaching species progressively create conditions favorable for their own persistence at the expense of pyrophytic species\, is commonly cited as causing this structural and compositional transition. While many forest ecologists and land managers accept the mesophication hypothesis as evidence for these shifts\, the reason for these changes is not clear and many questions remain. In this presentation\, we will consider current evidence for mesophication plus knowledge gaps and potential future research that considers which tree species and tree traits create self-perpetuating conditions and under what conditions tree-level processes might affect forest flammability at broader scales. The goal is to promote research that can better inform restoration and conservation of oak ecosystems experiencing structural and compositional shifts across the region. \nPresenter:\nDr. Heather Alexander\, Assistant Professor of Forest Ecology\, Auburn University \nRegister here. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Prescribed Burn Associations in the Southeast - A Conversation with Experts
DESCRIPTION:A Prescribed Burn Association\, or PBA\, is a group of local landowners and other concerned citizens that form a partnership to conduct prescribed burns. PBAs are increasingly being formed and discussed in the Southeast in response to both landowner interest in conducting prescribed fire and the barriers they face in doing so. A previous SFE webinar examined recent research on the potential applications of PBAs for family forest landowners (view the recording here). While attending the previous webinar is not required\, this event is intended to serve as a follow-up conversation and will feature a panel discussion of experts from North Carolina and Oklahoma who are involved in PBAs. \nThere will be an opportunity for webinar attendees to submit questions\, and you may submit questions ahead of time to Laurel Kays at lekays@ncsu.edu. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers. \nPresenters:\nJesse Wimberley\, Coordinator\, Sandhills PBA\nBenjy Strope\, Biologist\, NC Wildlife Resources Commission\nPhil Wallace\, Staff Forester – Silviculture\, NC Forest Service\nJohn Weir\, Associate Extension Specialist\, Oklahoma State University \nRegister here. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Air Sensor Performance Testing Protocols\, Metrics\, and Target Values for PM2.5 and Ozone
DESCRIPTION:Lower cost air sensor technologies have flooded the marketplace and are being rapidly adopted by state\, tribal and local agencies\, community scientists\, researchers\, health professionals\, schools\, and many others to measure air quality conditions. Common applications for air sensors include understanding air quality trends\, supplemental monitoring\, monitor siting\, identifying hot spots\, monitoring in remote locations\, personal monitoring\, and educational and environmental awareness. While air sensors have become more widespread\, it is commonly known that the data quality from these technologies is highly variable. Consistent testing protocols and target values have not been available to uniformly evaluate and compare different air sensor technologies to better understand their performance in real-world conditions. As a result\, there is a lack of confidence in data quality and in selecting sensors that best suit an application of interest. \n\nThis webinar will highlight two reports developed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development that outline recommended performance testing protocols\, metrics\, and target values for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) air sensors. The reports apply to the use of PM2.5 and O3 air sensor in non-regulatory supplemental and informational monitoring (NSIM) applications in ambient\, outdoor\, fixed site environments. The anticipated outcomes of this work are to: \n\nProvide a consistent approach for evaluating air sensor performance and reporting results;\nHelp the user community better understand sensor performance;\nAssist the user community in making informed decisions on choosing sensors that appropriately suit their NSIM application; and\nEncourage innovation and product improvement in the marketplace.\n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Potential Applications of Prescribed Burn Associations for Family Forest Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Prescribed burn associations (PBAs) are cooperative units of private landowners that pool resources to achieve scale that allows them to overcome barriers to prescribed burning. PBAs are currently most common among ranchers in the Great Plains to manage grasslands\, however there is growing interest in the replication of PBAs to the application of family forest landowners in the eastern and western United States. This study identified major structural themes associated with PBAs in the United States and analyzed interactions between those themes using a strengths\, weaknesses\, opportunities\, and threats (SWOT) analysis framework. \nFollowing the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: 3D Fuel Characterization for Improved Modeling of Wildland Fire Behavior and Smoke
DESCRIPTION:Rapid advancements in wildland fire modeling are promoting innovations in how we characterize and map wildland fuels. Before these models can be widely used\, more research on fuel characterization and mapping methods is needed to support 3D model inputs. The 3D Fuels Project is characterizing surface and canopy fuels on pine-dominated sites in the southeastern and western United States and western grasslands that represent fuels commonly characterized for prescribed burning. Through this project\, researchers are developing a library of tools and datasets to leverage multi-scale estimates of 3D fuel structure and consumption that can be used directly within models of fire behavior and smoke production. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Invasive grasses in the southeastern United States
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss a variety of invasive grasses throughout the southeastern United States. Invasive grasses rapidly invade disturbed areas\, including pastures\, fallow fields\, forests\, and highway and powerline rights-of-way. Infestations can impact the diversity of native species\, reduce wildlife habitat\, and disrupt important ecosystem functions. Seeds are typically wind-dispersed\, but the plant can spread vegetatively through rhizomes (roots); these rhizomes can be spread to new places on vehicles and equipment. Seeds of many invasive grasses can remain viable in the soil for years. As such\, control of invasive grasses is difficult\, time-consuming\, and expensive\, involving a combination of mechanical and chemical treatments. \nNo registration is required. \nJoin the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: How To Talk About Southern Forests With The Public
DESCRIPTION:The Keeping Forests partnership shares groundbreaking results from recent opinion research on the best ways to talk about the issues facing southern forests with the public. \n\n\nKeeping Forests is a collation of multi-stakeholder partners committed to sustaining 245 million acres of southern forestland by 2060. There are major threats to this land and the solutions are largely in the hands of private landowners. Yet\, to date\, there has been limited research that reveals how the public understands the role of southern forests to their daily lives\, the importance of them\, and what the most critical solutions are. \nRaising awareness and shifting public opinion is a key strategy for Keeping Forests to meet the 2060 goal. In partnership with New Bridge Strategy\, Keeping Forests will share the results of qualitative and quantitative research that gets at the heart of these issues. They will provide key “dos and don’ts” for how to talk about southern forests that can be applied across a variety of contexts and audiences. \nThe first part of the webinar will be a presentation by Keeping Forests and New Bridge Strategy. The second part will be dedicated to answering participants questions. \nDownload the results of the public opinion research here: https://www.keepingforests.org/resources
