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: 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: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: 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:Connect Extension Virtual Chat: Prescribed Fire Education & Training
DESCRIPTION:Devastating wildfires are a growing threat in the West and across the Nation\, jeopardizing the health\, safety and vitality of communities and people. Prescribed burning is an accepted land management tool utilized to meet landscape health objectives. Building [certified] prescribed fire education\, with emphasis on training\, will provide opportunity for advancement of skills to private\, non-industrial and industrial landowners and public land/fire managers necessary for the safe and proper utilization of prescribed fire on the landscape. \nIn this chat we’ll explore state mandates on prescribed fire certification\, liability\, prescribed fire insurance\, and workforce. \nJoin the chat here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Woods for Wildlife: Native Plants of the Longleaf Pine Forest and Active Management of Early Successional Plant Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join others in learning about the high diversity of plant species characteristics of the longleaf pine ecosystem and how it supports the many common and unique wildlife species in these open forests dominated by a single tree. Participants will also learn how to maximize wildlife management goals through active management of early successional plant communities. Commonly referred to as early successional habitat\, these plant communities benefit a vast array of wildlife species including the northern bobwhite quail\, monarch butterfly\, and red-cockaded woodpecker. This webinar will address active management techniques and discuss some specific tips to reach one’s property objectives. \nNo registration is required. Join the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Forest Management in Wetlands and Conservation Status Focusing on Rare and Endangered Species
DESCRIPTION:What does endangered mean? How about threatened? Are those different? What do I have to do? This webinar will describe the Endangered Species Act and define terminology for the categories of rarity and the general regulations for each. By participating in this webinar you will learn the rare species that occur in the 14-county NC Woods for Wildlife focal area. You will also become familiar with your responsibilities for those species\, but more importantly your opportunities to benefit them. \nParticipants will also have the opportunity to put what they learn into context with a presentation focused on forest management with isolated wetlands\, their ecology\, and their broader connection with at risk wildlife like the Gopher Frog. Isolated wetlands are wetlands that are not directly connected to other water sources by creeks and streams. In the Southeast\, isolated wetlands naturally occur as vernal pools\, Carolina bays\, clay-based depressions\, and limesinks. The Gopher Frog is a rare species unique to the southeast that relies on isolated wetlands for its survival. The Gopher Frog’s ecology highlights the plight of isolated wetlands on the southeastern landscape and why they are important for biodiversity. \nPre-registration is not required.
