SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Collaborative Landscape Conservation Planning: Fostering local stakeholder engagement
DESCRIPTION:Natural resource practitioners are increasingly taking a collaborative\, landscape-level approach to natural resource conservation. Despite its potential advantages\, this approach faces challenges. Primary among these is ensuring ecosystem-wide goals for conservation can effectively inform local management plans and actions. This necessitates working with local stakeholders. Opportunities for local stakeholders to participate in landscape conservation planning are often limited\, in part because conservation leaders are uncertain about whether\, when\, and how these stakeholders might most effectively participate in decision processes. \nIn this presentation\, Catherine Doyle-Capitman will provide an overview of best practices for engaging local stakeholders and incorporating social data during collaborative landscape conservation planning. An overview of these best practices can be found in the following practitioners’ guide: Facilitating Local Stakeholder Participation in Collaborative Landscape Conservation Planning (https://prod-is-cms-assets.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hd/prod/353a0be0-a3a5-11eb-9909-a71e27a203e5-Doyle-Capitman.pdf) \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Ethics and Professional Forestry
DESCRIPTION:Foresters have an ethical responsibility to those they serve. However\, sometimes it is hard to determine where the line is between what is ethical and what may be construed as unethical. This course serves as a reminder of our ethical duties and gives examples of situations where ethics come into play. \n\n\n Foresters have a responsibility to manage land for both current and future generations in an ethical fashion. This course is a refresher in ethics as they apply to forestry situations. Real life examples will be used to illustrate how tough ethical dilemmas may be handled by and to help us identify those areas that skirt the edges of ethical conduct. The North Carolina State Board of Registration for Foresters is pleased to have Butch Bailey\, Extension Associate with Mississippi State University\, put a new face on the traditional ethics presentation. Examples of ethics related situations from North Carolina will also be presented by the board. This course is being offered by the North Carolina State Board of Registration for Foresters as a service to the professional forestry community. \nNo registration required\, join here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Connecting Main Street to Mountaintops: Urban land protection as part of a comprehensive landscape conservation strategy
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive approach to landscape conservation must include urban spaces and communities\, as much as it includes large wild places and rural communities. For nearly fifty years\, The Trust for Public Land has been a leader in land protection and park creation\, working with communities across the American landscape to advance equity\, health\, and climate resilience. Leaders from TPL’s parks and schoolyards teams will share insights on effective strategies for using park creation\, spatial analysis\, and community engagement as part of a conservation approach that strengthens and improves the livability of our cities while connecting them to a larger surrounding landscape that spans regional and\, ultimately\, national borders. \nPresenters:\nDanielle Denk\, Program Director and Schoolyard Initiative Lead\nLinda Hwang\, Director of Strategy and Innovation\nRobert Kent\, Texas State Director\nMichael Giammusso\, National Lands Initiative Lead \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Restoring the Pine Barrens - Attitudes towards restoration of a threatened ecosystem in the U.S. South
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: Restoring the Pine Barrens – Attitudes towards restoration of a threatened ecosystem in the U.S. South \nDescription: Fire is a critical element for the restoration of native longleaf pine forests in the southern United States. This research explored public interest in restoration of this threatened ecosystem and the application of prescribed fire\, a key component of restoration. We report on a project conducted across eight southern states with the following objectives: (1) to identify if prescribed fire has kept pace with demand for planting longleaf following disaster events and (2) to identify landowners’ and public interest in ecological restoration using science-based prescriptions and how managers may use this information to increase prescribed burning. To address these objectives\, we collected data from key informant interviews and a public telephone survey. Results demonstrated several important predictors of social barriers to prescribed burning and types of landowners most likely to burn in longleaf ecosystems. We conclude with a discussion about ways to increase dialogue among stakeholders to help them understand the risks and benefits of appropriate ecosystem management using fire. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speakers. \nScheduled Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET June 29\, 2021 \nSpeakers: Dr. Jason Gordon\, University of Georgia\nDr. John Willis\, US Forest Southern Research Station \nWebinar Partners: US Forest Service Southern Region\, the University of Georgia\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, NC State University\, and the University of Florida. \nWebinar Target Audience: Natural Resource Managers\, Park Rangers\, Public Information Officers\, Outreach Specialists\, Cooperative Extension Agents \nWebinar Registration Link:  https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sBibA3bvSmuWBUgCdHymag

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Bat Responses to Silvicultural Treatments
DESCRIPTION:Researchers have been studying bat responses to silvicultural treatments since the mid-1980s\, but research on the effects of silviculture on bats has increased greatly over the past decade. This webinar will present a synthesis of this research which includes the effects of regeneration harvests\, thinning\, gap formation\, plantation forestry\, and prescribed fire on bats. Dr. Loeb will also present the results of a recent review which compares the effects of prescribed fire and wildfire on bats. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the major gaps in our knowledge and where our research efforts need to be concentrated in the future. \nRegister here.
