SUMMARY:Bat Management and Fire in the Southeast: Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Bats are important to forested ecosystems and often interact with fire. Recently\, several bat species have been placed on the Endangered Species list. This webinar will describe the bats in the Southern region that have been listed\, and will summarize how these bats can be affected by wildland fire\, and the regulatory requirements that may affect prescribed burning. We will also provide an overview of the current DoD Bat strategy in support of their military and conservation missions. Additional resources that will be helpful to land managers will be provided. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q&A with the speakers. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Restoring Oak Forests
DESCRIPTION:This advanced training for professionals & experienced landowners will teach the silvicultural techniques required to establish oak forests. \nThere are plenty of oak forests in North Carolina right now\, but trends show that we are not replacing them with new oak forests after harvest. The probability of replacing an existing oak stand with a new one by just cutting it down and letting it grow back is zero or unacceptably low. If we are going to reverse this troubling trend\, we need to implement better oak restoration techniques now. \nRegenerating oak is more of a process than an event. It is one of the most difficult management prescriptions to undertake and requires specific silvicultural knowledge and proper site analysis to implement correctly. During this two-day advanced workshop for natural resource professionals and experienced landowners\, experts will share their experience and knowledge on how to successfully regenerate and manage oak. Attendees will learn through classroom and field instruction how to implement the necessary silvicultural techniques to ensure that oak trees are part of our next forests. \nCFEs pending. Estimated 10.5 hours. \nCost is $75-$125

SUMMARY:Down East Landowner Prescribed Fire Association Kick-off Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A kick-off meeting for the Down East Landowners PBA will be held for landowners in Pitt\, Beaufort\, Craven\, Pamlico\, Lenoir\, Jones\, Carteret\, and Onslow counties that have an interest in prescribed burning. \n The purpose of the meeting is to expand the prescribed burning capacity in central eastern North Carolina through peer-to-peer networking\, providing support to new burners\, and showing the resources currently available to those who wish to conduct prescribed burns on their property. In short\, it is people coming together to learn about and apply prescribed fire on the landscape. \nThe format of the meeting will be quite informal – after introductions and the meal\, a brief presentation will be given on what a Prescribed Burn Association is\, followed by a review of the tools and personnel available to help you conduct burns on your property this winter. Throughout the meeting\, you are encouraged to meet your fellow landowners\, exchange ideas and contact information. \nDinner from Moore’s BBQ will be provided by the North Carolina Tree Farm Program. \nRegister by email to bryan.hulka@ncagr.gov. If you have any questions\, please feel to contact Bryan Hulka at 252-229-8268.

SUMMARY:Spongy Moth (Formerly Known as Gypsy Moth): Recent Impacts\, Spread\, and Management of a Non-Native Defoliator
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tom Coleman (Entomologist & Slow the Spread Program Manager – US Forest Service) will discuss spongy moth biology\, management techniques\, and give an update on its current range in the U.S. \n\n\nSpongy moth\, Lymantria dispar\, (formerly the gypsy moth)\, is a defoliator that can feed on over 300 plant species\, making it a significant threat to U.S. forests. Originating from France\, its spongy appearing egg masses can be laid on most any surface making this pest easy to move unknowingly to new areas. Although it was originally brought to the U.S. in the late 1800’s with the hopes of creating a silk industry\, its escape has since led to millions of acres of forest and urban areas being defoliated. Defoliated trees are more susceptible to disease and mortality. In this webinar\, Dr. Tom Coleman will give an update on spongy moth in the U.S. and discuss ways that you can help stop the spread.

SUMMARY:Oak Wilt Biology and Management
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Demian Gomez (Regional Forest Health Coordinator – Texas A&M Forest Service) will discuss oak wilt – what causes it and what you can do to manage it. \nOak wilt is a vascular tree disease that is known as one of the most destructive tree diseases in the U.S. It is caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum and can spread via root grafts to neighboring trees or through beetle vectors. Although its origin is unknown\, it was first detected in the U.S. in the 1900’s and is now responsible for the mortality of thousands of oak trees each year. In this webinar\, Dr. Demian Gomez will tell us more about oak wilt\, its signs\, symptoms\, and what you can do to manage it.

SUMMARY:Tree Identification in Winter
DESCRIPTION:Correct identification is a critical first step in making management decisions for any plant in the landscape or garden. Identification of tree species is of particular interest for landowners managing woodlands for wildlife or timber\, for farmers with livestock browsing near potentially toxic species\, and for naturalists seeking to enhance their familiarity with native trees. Many may be deterred by the esoteric terminology and specialized features used for tree identification. Fortunately\, most woody plants can be readily distinguished by twig\, bud\, and bark characteristics\, making winter a great time of year to learn the identity of trees and understory shrubs on your property. Join Matt Jones (Extension Horticulture Agent) and the Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Chatham County for a lecture and hands-on workshop on winter botany for landowners\, landscapers\, farmers\, park managers\, naturalists and anyone curious about trees. Participants will learn about the types of tree characters used for identification\, as well as how to use free\, online tools (such as dichotomous keys) from NC State University. Gain experience through both guided and individual practice identifying provided native tree samples. \nThe workshop costs $12 per person\, which includes a 10x hand lens and light refreshments for all participants. Registration and fee payment is required by Jan.15th\, 2024. \nRead more at: https://chatham.ces.ncsu.edu/tree-identification-in-winter-2023/
