SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Invasive Species in Southern Forests: Problems and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:An invasive species is a non-native species (including seeds\, eggs\, spores\, or other propagules) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic harm\, environmental harm\, or harm to human health. The term “invasive” is used for the most aggressive species. \nThese species grow and reproduce rapidly\, causing major disturbance to the areas in which they are present. In addition to the threats to production agriculture and forestry. Invasive species can decrease your ability to enjoy hunting\, fishing\, camping\, hiking\, boating\, and other outdoor recreational activities. \nThe United States suffers from $120 billion per year in economic losses due to invasive species. Approximately 42% of Threatened or Endangered species are at risk due to non-native\, invasive species. The presentation introduce the problem\, why you should care\, and tools to help identify\, monitor and prevent the spread of invasive species . \nNo registration is required. Join the webinar here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Managing Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Ecological Integrity Alongside Traditional Forestry
DESCRIPTION:Georgia native plants support quality wildlife habitat for hunting\, conservation\, and ecological integrity. This can be demonstrated in management of longleaf pine ecosystems\, where timber and understory management occur simultaneously to support both economic and ecological goals. The understory that can occur under these management systems supports diverse and abundant wildlife. \nLongleaf pine ecosystem management often includes prescribed fire use\, mid-story removal/ reduction\, wiregrass propagation\, and encouragement of other understory herbaceous plants. In more traditional loblolly/ slash pine forest management\, native plants that support wildlife and ecological integrity can be encouraged in buffer zones or marginal areas of a stand. In these areas\, native plants that support wildlife habitat\, such as fruit and nut-bearing native trees and shrubs and beneficial insect-attracting plants\, can be encouraged. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of diverse native plants that can be managed alongside different types of forest management\, with a focus on species that create quality wildlife habitat. \nNo registration is required\, join 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.
