SUMMARY:Pine Straw Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Pine straw is extremely popular as a mulch in the southeastern United States\, and because of this pine straw harvesting is a strong industry in the region. Longleaf pine straw is the most desirable of the southern pines\nbecause of its long and durable needles\, but slash and loblolly pine straw can also be used. \nRaking pine straw can be an attractive and valuable source of income for forest landowners\, providing an opportunity to cover some of the costs associated with establishment and maintenance associated with longleaf\npine ecosystems. Commercial operators bale pine straw and sell it to contractors and garden centers who\, in turn\, sell it to homeowners. \nThe purpose of this webinar is to help landowners and resource managers balance harvesting operations while preserving desired wildlife benefits and stand health. While pine straw is valuable to homeowners as a mulch\, pine\nneedles are also valuable to the forest\, serving critical ecological functions\, including helping to carry prescribed fires as a fine fuel\, protecting soil and water resources\, and recycling nutrients. \nThis webinar will take place on a series of 4 Wednesdays – September 16\, 23\, 30 and October 7. \nCost is $10 general admission and $45 for foresters who need CFEs. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Woodland Owner Lunch and Learn - Seedling Genetics and Soil Fertility and how to care for it
DESCRIPTION:During each rotation of a planted forest\, landowners have a single opportunity to choose the appropriate genetics for their long-term investment. We encourage forest landowners to plant the best genetic quality seedlings possible. The benefits from establishing highly productive families\, in combination with good silvicultural practices\, will result in large financial returns. Nurseries grow loblolly pine seedlings that have a range in genetic quality. Information about the value of different seedling families can be sourced from seedling vendors as well as from tree improvement cooperatives. The cooperative provides a “third-party” assessment of the productivity\, disease resistance\, and stem quality of the many families that are available for purchase. Once decisions on seedling genetics are made\, at-planting silvicultural decisions will determine the trajectory of the stand and if landowners will capture the potential of selected genetics. Appropriate chemical and/or mechanical site preparation\, fertilization\, timing\, and spacing & density all play critical roles in ensuring the success of a new plantation. \n  \nThere is no cost to attend this webinar. You do not need to pre-register. Space is NOT limited. Please plan to join the Webinar 15 to 30 minutes early so that you can successfully join the presentation interface. \nJoin the webinar here. \nIf you have not participated in one of our Zoom hosted webinars before\, please read these instructions to find out how to setup\, test and use Zoom on your computer.

SUMMARY:Appalachian Cove Virtual Series - Invasives
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is the third in a series that replaces an original event entitled Mountain Cove Forest Management and Conservation in the Central Appalachians. That original event will not be held due to Covid-19. \nThis webinar will talk about managing non-native invasive plants that threaten cove forests. Through interactive example scenarios\, you will gain the tools needed to start the journey of implementing invasive species treatments on properties you manage or your own land. \nSome questions we will answer: \n\nWhat can I do if my property is overrun with invasives?\nHow do I identify invasives?\nAre the treatments the same for every species?\nWhat tools do I need?\nWhen should I treat invasives?\nI’m a forester and work with landowners. What should I tell them to do about their invasives?\n\nPre-approved for 1 SAF CFE credit \nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:Conference on Heirs' Property and Sustainable Forest Management
DESCRIPTION:This virtual conference will bring together experts in heirs’ property\, including forest landowners experiencing it firsthand. We will share ideas and perspectives\, provide updates on legal developments regarding heirs’ property\, and present results from two integrated research and outreach initiatives. \n\nThough the main focus is on African American forest landowners located in the southeastern states\, in general\, and Georgia\, in particular\, we will also discuss heirs’ property issues nationwide. Our goal is to share insights and information that can be distributed among our networks to better serve forest landowners grappling with heirs’ property and to better inform policymakers about the social complexities in which heirs’ property is embedded and its consequence for sustainable forestry.\n\nClick here to see conference agenda. \n\nYou do not need to pre-register for this webinar.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Monarch Biology and Conservation in the Southeast
DESCRIPTION:In this first webinar in a three part series focused on monarchs in the southeast\, NRCS planners and community conservationists will learn about monarch biology basics (food requirements\, other habitat factors\, natural enemies\, migration\, etc.)\, their phenology (when to find them in the southeast)\, their status (how monarchs populations are doing) and what we know about habitats that best support them regionally. This webinar will briefly highlight how diverse NRCS practices can support monarchs and other wildlife (Part 3 in December will include a deeper look at resources for NRCS planners c/o http://nrcs.usda.gov/monarchs.) Part 2 (in November) will focus more on specific habitat needs of larvae and adults\, including details on host and nectar plants and their ecology. We’ll also briefly consider threats facing breeding and migrating monarchs and will review recent research on threats posed by various pesticides to monarchs. Part 3 (in December) is aimed primarily at NRCS planners\, covering the Monarch Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Guides and habitat creation and management using Farm Bill Programs. \nPre-registration is not required.

SUMMARY:Woods for Wildlife: 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. \nApproved for 1 hour SAF Category 1 CFE credit. \nJoin the webinar here. Pre-registration is not required.

SUMMARY: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. \nYou do not need to pre-register for this webinar. Space is NOT limited. Please plan to join the Webinar 15 to 30 minutes early so that you can successfully join the presentation interface.
