SUMMARY:Turkey Hunting: Firearms\, Ammo\, Clothing and Miscellaneous Equipment
DESCRIPTION:The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will offer three free turkey hunting webinars  – one each day February 7-9. Topics will include biology\, species habits\, habitats\, scouting\, essential equipment\, setup\, effective shot placement\, decoy placement and hunting strategies. Each hour-long class will conclude with an interactive Q&A session. \nTurkey hunting is a great option for entry-level hunters\, but has its challenges. Throughout the webinar series\, instructors will provide a comprehensive overview about how to prepare for the hunt\, what to expect\, and how to execute a successful hunt while enjoying time in the wild regardless of harvest. It’s a great opportunity for novice hunters to learn how to get started as well as learn some advanced hunting tactics. \n“The webinars are especially intended for those that have never hunted and lack access to a hunting mentor\, although they are open to all skill levels\,” said Hunting Engagement Coordinator Walter “Deet” James with the Wildlife Commission. “The webinar series will be completed over three consecutive evenings. Anyone interested in attending all three webinars must register for each class separately.” \nSpace is limited and pre-registration online is required.  Classes will be held via Zoom. Participants will receive their Zoom link after registering via a confirmation email. The class will be recorded and a link to the recording will be emailed to registered participants by March 1.

SUMMARY:Sandhills Learn-and-Burn
DESCRIPTION:Registration is not yet open for this event\, check back soon. \nJoin the Sandhills Prescribed Burn Association and ForestHer NC for an opportunity learn about burning in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. We will be burning in a longleaf pine ecosystem to maintain the diversity of native warm season grasses and restore wildlife habitat. \n  \nControlled burns\, or prescribed fire\, is the planned use of fire under predetermined weather and fuel parameters to obtain specific management objectives. And sometimes\, even after hours of planning\, the weather decides to not cooperate. Burn managers know at least a few days in advance if fire weather is going to be good to burn. Our current burn window is May 4 through May 6. Please keep all three dates reserved as workshop possibilities. The agenda will be the same regardless of the date. \nAgenda \n\n5:00 pm: Meet at burn location\n4:30 pm: Briefing and logistics\n7:30 pm: On-site community dinner (provided)\n\nFor questions\, contact dakota@forestguild.org \nThis learn-and-burn has been made possible thanks to a partnership with The Nature Conservancy.

SUMMARY:New Pests\, New Problems: Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Non-native insects are a major forest health threat across the U.S. These pests can easily be moved through infested materials and due to global trade and travel\, they continue to spread across the southeast. Recently two new pests have been found in North Carolina – the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula)\, discovered in June 2022\, and the elm zigzag sawfly (Aproceros leucopoda)\, discovered in August 2022. Both species originate from parts of Asia and can now be found in several states across the U.S. Spotted lanternfly is a phloem feeder that causes damage to agricultural and ornamental plant species. Elm zigzag sawfly is a defoliator that targets elm species. What challenges will these invasive pests cause across the southeast? In this webinar\, Dr. Kelly Oten will discuss these new pests and the problems they may cause.
