SUMMARY:Prescribed Fire Effects on Southern Pine Tree Growth and Forest Structure Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ire is an integral component of southern forests. Especially in some pine systems that have developed adaptations to frequent fires and even depend on it to thrive. Fires can naturally occur but can also be intentionally set as a forest management tool. Prescribed fire is a planned and controlled application of fire to achieve specific goals. But what can prescribed fire be used for and how does it help southern pine systems? In this webinar\, Dr. Doug Aubrey will discuss prescribed fire in southern pine forests including its benefits\, impacts on forest health\, and the effects of excluding fire from an ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Supporting Birds Through the Seasons Using Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join NCWF Wildlife Habitat Stewards of Northeastern NC Chapter and NCWRC Wildlife Biologist\, Falyn Owens\, for a presentation discussing the importance of incorporating native plants into your landscape to provide essential food sources for birds and offer much-needed shelter for nesting sites. \nNative plants are the ideal bird feeders\, providing seeds and berries\, as well as supporting healthy insect populations. Baby birds require a consistent supply of insects to grow and thrive. By incorporating native plants into your yard\, you offer the food sources needed to support birds of all ages throughout the year. \nFollowing the presentation\, enjoy a guided walk along the boardwalk trail at Dismal Swamp State Park to identify native plants and understand their role in supporting birds. \nREGISTER HERE
