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.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture\nHost: South Carolina DNR\, National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative\, Working Lands for Wildlife\, Quail Forever\, Amsa Yoga\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, Joint Fire Science Program and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Johnny Stowe\, South Carolina DNR \nAbstract: All across North America\, and beyond\, people are gathering to Share the Flame.  Resilient embers have been re-kindled\, passionately nurtured in the deep-time crucible of people and fire that has warmed our hearts and hearths for scores of thousands of millennia. Twenty-five years ago\, the phenomenon of wildland fire-lighting in North America was barely flickering in scattered spots. Today\, an intense\, intergenerational\, pandisciplinary pyronexus forged in the natural and multicultural heritage of people embedded in fire-loving landscapes is being restored and is thriving in a wide and deeply-rooting range of programs\, policies and on-the-ground practices. Lighting up the landscape\, under prescription\, is an accelerating\, transcontinental\, cultural phenomenon centering on the shared pride of people connected to special places through a uniquely satisfying\, primordial practice. Fire-lighting binds people together as it promotes and gives resilience to ecological integrity\, economic health and public safety. Fire-wonder is increasingly expressed through prescribed fire tales\, poems and paintings\, and it resonates in rituals\, ceremonies\, pyrotourism and other gatherings. Our cultural spot fires have pulled together\, and they are creating their own winds and fuels. The fire-lighting pyroparadigm of North America — once nearly extinguished by decades of pathological\, command-and-control\, anti-fire propaganda\, pogroms and policy — has been taken back\, and we’ll let no one\, ever again\, wrest it away. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8wX3HUi_R86jZWP0Jgu_4g

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Growing-Season Prescribed Fires & Ground Nesting Birds
DESCRIPTION:Growing Season Fire & Ground-Nesting Birds – Answers for Longleaf Restoration\nHost: Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Jim Cox\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nAbstract: Millions of dollars have been spent over the past 20 years on reforestation of longleaf pine forests. Restoration will take time coupled with frequent and repeated application of prescribed burning. Burning is absolutely critical to restoration\, but an appreciable number of individuals and groups now limit their opportunities to burn to a smaller and smaller burn window. The concern often voiced is that burning from April – July is detrimental to ground nesting/grassland birds and should be avoided. Restoration targets that require frequent burning and may not be achieved if the burn window becomes too narrow. This presentation will look at the science behind the use of fire during the “lightning season” (the months of April – July) and its effects on ground-nesting birds such as quail and Bachman’s sparrow.  Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lGveI7-rQFqRq1NtsdgG8w

SUMMARY:Agriculture and Land Use Virtual Workshop: NOAA GEO-XO Satellite Program
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed for members of the Agriculture sector community who use NOAA’s remote sensing data in the agriculture cycle\, during extreme weather events\, agriculture and animal management. There will be workshop opportunities for end-users in the fields of oceans and transportation in the coming months. \nThe purpose of this workshop is to gather feedback on NOAA’s environmental satellite data products through structured discussion. These User Needs will be used to inform the remote sensing capabilities of NOAA’s next generation of environmental satellites\, the GEO-XO program. Participants should join the workshop prepared to contribute to a facilitated discussion. \nPlease contact Vanessa Escobar\, Lead Scientist for GEO-XO User Engagement at vanessa.escobar@noaa.gov. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Prescribed Fire Science Workshop: Increasing the Pace and Scale of Prescribed Burning
DESCRIPTION:The Prescribed Fire Science Workshop is a series of virtual events\, trainings\, and networking opportunities that will connect fire scientists and land managers with the goal of increasing the pace and scale of prescribed burning in the northeastern United States. This series will lay the groundwork for continued exchange between scientists and managers\, including more virtual events and (eventually!) at least one in-person meeting that will feature a prescribed burn (RxB). \nThis series will: \n\n\nraise awareness of how evidence-based prescribed fire can be used as a tool to create safe\, resilient\, fire-adapted landscapes \n\n\nempower participants to use modern scientific tools that will help them safely implement prescribed burns in their home units \n\n\ninform decision-makers about how they can incorporate science-driven management decisions into their legislation \n\n\nshowcase New Jersey as an example of science-based fuels management \n\n\nParticipants can register for one of two tracks for this series: \n\n\nA la carte registration: this option allows for maximum flexibility and a smaller time commitment\, with invitations to attend the series’ overview events \n\n\nFull registration: this option asks participants to participate fully in all interactive seminars and includes access to all series events \n\n\nBoth options are free of charge\, but pre-registration is required.
