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

SUMMARY:Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future
DESCRIPTION:The world today is undergoing the most rapid environmental transformation in human history—from climate change to deforestation. Scientists\, ethnobotanists\, indigenous peoples\, and collectives of all kinds are closely studying trees and their biology to understand how and why trees function individually and collectively in the ways they do. For his new book\, Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future\, historian Daniel Lewis went on a global journey to learn about twelve iconic trees in their habitats. In this talk\, Lewis will reveal what he learned of nature and survival through them\, including two trees found in North Carolina—the longleaf pine and bald cypress—and will share insights into the ways in which humans and trees are interconnected. Daniel Lewis is the Dibner Senior Curator for the History of Science and Technology at the Huntington Library\, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens in Southern California and a writer\, college professor and environmental historian. His book “Twelve Trees: The Deep Roots of Our Future” was published by Simon and Schuster in March 2024.
