SUMMARY:Eastern Lake Ontario Swallow-wort Collaborative Webinar
DESCRIPTION:When: Monday\, October 28th from 1pm-2pm \nPresenter: Lisa Twksbury from the University of Rhode Island will be presenting information for the biocontrol of swallow-worts. \n  \nThe Eastern Lake Ontario Swallow-wort Collaborative (ELOSC) is a platform for sharing the most up-to-date research and best management practices to inform stakeholders about the prevention and management of this highly aggressive invasive species. \nThe ELOSC will foster greater cooperation\, collaboration between different stakeholder groups to improve control and spread prevention-focused solely on swallow-worts. Additionally\, this collaborative will help to transfer knowledge between researchers and managers\, share advances in science and management\, provide technical assistance\, and connect the stakeholder community. \nVisit https://swallowwortcollaborative.org/ to learn more about ELOSC and our upcoming webinars.

SUMMARY:North American Invasive Species Management Association Conference (NAISMA)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe 2019 North American Invasive Species Management Association Conference will be held from September 30th through October 3rd in Saratoga Springs. \nIt will be a joint conference with the New York Invasive Species Research Institute out of Cornell University\, an internationally renowned center of academic research and outreach. \nThe conference program will seek to bridge the geographic divide between West to East and North to South\, connecting terrestrial and aquatic invasive species management\, research\, policy\, and outreach initiatives and opportunities across North America. Presentations\, workshops\, tours\, and special symposia will highlight successful initiatives that bridge the gap between geographic\, political\, and public-private boundaries. \nSaratoga Springs is at the doorstep of the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. Albany International Airport is 30 minutes south of Saratoga Springs. Saratoga is a 3-hour drive or less from most major northeast metropolitan areas including the Boston area\, Connecticut\, New York City\, Northern New Jersey and central New York. A complimentary shuttle service will be arranged for peak attendee arrivals and departures.

SUMMARY:Variable Leaf Water Milfoil Draw-down Removal
DESCRIPTION:Attention Higley Flow/ Racquette River Community Members\nIf you live along the Raquette River or play there you can help! \nVariable-leaf water-milfoil is spreading in the Raquette River/Higley Flow in Colton\, NY. From September 11th through September 15th\, Community members will gather during a water drawdown om the Raquette River to manually remove the plant. It’s a fun way to engage with the community and enhance the stewardship of this beautiful river-plus its an excuse to play in the mud! \nVariable-leaf water-milfoil is an invasive aquatic plant that can quickly take over a waterbody causing negative impacts on wildlife and recreation. \nThe plant has been noted in the River in these locations: Cottage Road\, Sugarbush Lane and a large patch near McEwen Point.  Volunteers will also be looking at areas around what community members refer to as the “old beach”.Clearing your own beach and any other areas near you is encouraged. Organizers have mesh bags and boogie boards that they will gladly deliver to help your removal efforts. \nTo get involved\, or if you think you have variable leaf water-milfoil please contact (315) 265-2255\, or email coltonmilfoil@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Monitoring and Managing Ash Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:August Single-Session Monitoring and Managing Ash (MaMA) Training Workshops \nLearn how to conserve ash and manage emerald ash borer (EAB) – the future of ash is in your hands! \n  \nThe MaMA program of the Ecological Research Institute (see www.MonitoringAsh.org) provides constructive actions to take at each stage of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) invasion\, including even pre-invasion and the final invasion stage\, when almost all of an area’s ash area have been killed by this invasive beetle. In this free workshop\, you’ll learn how to mitigate EAB damage\, and more importantly to detect naturally occurring EAB-resistant native ash\, which provide great hope for ash conservation. You’ll learn how to use MaMA’s citizen-science projects\, including the MaMA Monitoring Plots Network\, which reaches from New England to the Midwest\, and the MaMA Lingering Ash Search project\, in which you report locations of trees that are likely EAB-resistant. Most importantly\, you’ll learn why it’s necessary to leave some standing live ash trees\, especially healthy ones. \n  \nMaMA’s development and implementation have been in close collaboration with the US Forest Service scientists leading the search for and propagation of EAB-resistant native ash\, and by helping to find these trees\, you can help save ash from extinction. This workshop’s hands-on training includes setting up an actual ash monitoring plot to help detect resistant ash. \n  \nContinuing education credits: NYS Nursery and Landscape Association (3.5 CNLP); International Society of Arboriculture (1.25 Arborist; 1.25 BCMA Practice); Society of American Foresters (3 Cat. 1); and Cornell Cooperative Extension (3 Master Naturalist). \n  \nPre-registration encouraged; for registration or additional information\, email Outreach@MonitoringAsh.org or call (845) 419-5229. \n  \nWhen and where: \n\n8/2\, 1-4:30 Presented in collaboration with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Meet at DEC office\, 7327 State Route 812\, Lowville\, NY 13367 for lecture followed by hands-on training.\n 8/3\, 1-4:30 Presented in collaboration with Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust. Meet at River of Life Fellowship Church\, 9871 Number Three Road\, Copenhagen\, NY 13626 for a lecture\, followed by hands-on training at Joseph Blake Wildlife Sanctuary\, Middle Road\, Rutland\, NY.\n 8/5\, 1-4:30 Presented in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy. Meet at Sandy Island Beach State Park community room\, 23 W. Shore Drive\, Pulaski\, NY 13142 for lecture; followed by hands-on training at Rainbow Shores Nature Conservancy Sanctuary\, Pulaski.\n 8/6\, 1-4:30 Presented in collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County. Meet at CCE\, 121 Second Street Oriskany\, NY 13424  for lecture presentation and hands-on training.\n\nAll workshops funded by the St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO).

Please bring your own bagged dinner/beverages if desired\nFACILITATOR:\nThe Department of Environmental Conservation\, the St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management and iMapInvasives.org\nLOCATION: Room 144 @ Indian River Middle School32735\, County Rd 29\, Philadelphia\, NY 13673\nCOST: free\nContact: Megan.pistolese@tnc.org 315 387 3600 x7724\nREGISTRATION ONLINE:\nhttps://forms.gle/w2WYi7MuoHa2dex5A \nEvent Flier \nInvasive species are non-native plants\, animals\, insects and diseases that threaten our environment\, health and economy. Advantages such as a lack of population controls (i.e.\, predators\, diseases) and faster growth rates allow invasive species to out-compete our native populations for resources\, disrupting food webs and even endangering some species. It is crucial that students have a basic understanding of invasive species and what they can do to help stop the spread. By instilling this knowledge at an early age\, we can help mold them into becoming good stewards of the environment. \nThe workshop will include the following:\n•Introduction to invasive species\n•How to use iMapInvasives\, an invasive species database\, and student-friendly app\, in the classroom\n•Review of a 2-week unit on invasive species\n•Distribution of invasive species & iMapInvasives user guides & information about other invasive species\neducation resources available through Save the River & the Great Lakes Ecosystem Education Exchange.
