SUMMARY:Planting Design for Wildlife: A Landscape Architect’s Guide to Supporting Wildlife Through Intentional Planting
DESCRIPTION:Join N.C. Wildlife Federation South Wake Conservationists Chapter for a webinar exploring how intentional planting design can support wildlife while meeting human needs. Presented by registered landscape architect Sara Donohoe\, this webinar focuses on integrating ecological function into planting design through creative and practical strategies. \nWith expertise in native and habitat-based planting design\, Sara will demonstrate how techniques like site analysis\, plant layering\, and color blocking can be used to create vibrant\, resilient landscapes. Participants will learn how thoughtful plant selection and spatial organization can provide critical resources for pollinators\, birds\, and other wildlife—all while enhancing the visual appeal and usability of a space. \nThis webinar is designed not only for landscape architects and designers\, but also for gardeners\, conservationists\, and wildlife advocates interested in creating more ecologically supportive landscapes at any scale. Whether you’re designing a park or planting a backyard garden\, this session offers practical tools and inspiring insights to help elevate the ecological impact of your work—while staying rooted in design excellence.

SUMMARY:Storm to Stove: A Workshop for Timber and Firewood Processing After Hurricane Helene
DESCRIPTION:Though Hurricane Helene imposed widescale destruction on the mountains of North Carolina\, opportunities are available to make the most out of the devastation. Two options you can pursue are to generate firewood and sawtimber. This two-day technical workshop at the Hinton Center in Hayesville will cover best practices for processing storm-damaged timber into firewood and other wood products. Experts will present on post-storm timber recovery\, chainsaw safety\, wood extraction methods\, sawmilling\, firewood production\, drying\, storage and safety. Hands-on demonstrations and technical discussions will provide practical insights into equipment\, safety protocols and efficiency in wood utilization—from storm to stove. Whether you’re a landowner\, forester or firewood professional\, this workshop offers essential knowledge for maximizing wood resources.

SUMMARY:Wood Utilization and Fire Protection Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene\, recovery occurs as opportunities are explored and future preparations from the experience are planned. This one-day workshop at the Asheville Botanical Gardens will cover best practices for processing storm-damaged timber into useful wood products. Experts will present key topics including post-storm timber recovery\, wood extraction methods\, sawmilling\, drying\, storage and safety. Hands-on demonstrations and technical discussions will provide practical insights into equipment\, safety protocols and efficiency in wood utilization. We will also examine the wildfire potential resulting from all the downed trees. \nWhether you’re a landowner\, forester\, or interested in new business opportunities\, this workshop offers essential knowledge for maximizing wood resources.

SUMMARY:Birds in Forested Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Forested wetlands exist in two main ways – those that contain still water\, and those where waters flow through. And in some cases\, a forest may experience both during a given year. In this presentation\, John A. Gerwin\, Research Scientist and Educator of Ornithology\, will showcase the natural histories of some of the avian denizens that occur in these forests. He will also discuss some of the research he and his former students conducted along the Great Pee Dee and Roanoke rivers\, with Swainson’s and Prothonotary warblers among others. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
