SUMMARY:Webinar-New Tools for Identifying and Prioritizing Range-Shifting Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:On November 5 from 2-3 pm\, the Northeast IPM Center will be hosting a webinar on “New tools for identifying and prioritizing range-shifting invasive plants“. Here’s the link to register. \n  \nDescription\n\n\n\nJoin Jenica Allen and Bethany Bradley to learn about new tools for identifying and prioritizing range-shifting invasive plants coming soon to a landscape near you. Whether  you’re a property owner\, land manager\, landscape professional\, or policymaker\, these tools are for you. Drs. Allen and Bradley will provide a live demonstration of the tools    and answer your questions about how climate change could influence invasive plants. \nPresenters\nDr. Jenica Allen is the Campus Living Laboratory Manager at Mount Holyoke College. Her quantitative ecology work is focused on forecasting the effects of global change on ecological systems. Recent research investigated how climate and land-use change affect the geographic distributions of invasive plants\, both in the Northeastern U.S. and nationally. She uses a translational ecology model\, where stakeholders inform research needs and research findings are translated to stakeholder-relevant tools\, through the Northeast Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (RISCC) Management Network. \n \nJenica Allen\, Campus Living Laboratory Manager\, Mount Holyoke College \n \nBethany Bradley\, Associate Professor\, University of Massachusetts Amherst

SUMMARY:Poors Island Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Walk and Talk
DESCRIPTION:SLELO PRISM will be joining the Adirondack Mountain Club Black River Chapter on Sunday\, January 5th at 1 pm on Poor Island in Black River\, NY. \nWhat to Expect: You will enjoy a nice winter hike and learn about an invasive forest pest that is threatening our hemlock forests called hemlock woolly adelgid. You will learn the signs of infestation to watch for and how to report observations using a mobile app called iMapInvasives. \nBefore you Come: Attendees are encouraged to make a free iMapInvasives user account and to download the free iMapInvasives mobile app onto your smartphones (if you don’t have a smartphone you can still participate\, there is also an online version you can use with a desktop computer). \nTrail Description: This is an easy wooded outing of about 1.5-2 miles along the shores of an island in the Black River. Trails are flat with the exception of a few very small hills. Some parts of the trail are exposed to the wind off the river\, so wear appropriate clothing. We will ski\, snowshoe\, or walk the trail whatever nature dictates\, bring your own gear. The trip will take between 1-2 and a half hours depending on abilities. \nDirections: From Watertown\, go out Route 3 to the light at the intersection with Main\nStreet in Black River (Stewarts is on the corner.). Turn left at this light. Just before the next bridge over the river\,\nmake a right on St. Regis St. There is also a small brown sign saying Kamargo Recreation Area. The bridge to the island is just a few yards down; cross it to the parking area on the island we will meet in this parking area at 1 pm. Here is a link to GoogleMaps. \n  \nContact Wendy Newell with questions regarding the hike\, and to confirm the event will be held if the weather is questionable at 315-782-3015\,  wendynewell@netscape.net  \nContact Megan Pistolese with questions regarding hemlock woolly adelgid and iMapInvasives 315 387 3600 x7724\, megan.pistolese@tnc.org

SUMMARY:A Call to Action for Ash Tree  Conservation and Resistance Breeding  Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 11\, 2020 | 1:00 – 2:15pm ET \nAsh tree species in North America are under mortal threat from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)\, now in 35 states and five Canadian provinces.  There are ongoing efforts to conserve this native tree species by producing genetically diverse\, resistant seedlings suitable for restoring ash on the landscape.  Identifying “lingering ash” is a critical component of amplifying these efforts\, and this presentation will explain the narrow window of time in which urgent actions are needed to discover and preserve these individuals.  Once identified\, these trees can be replicated through grafting for further testing.  Trees that are shown to have some level of resistance can be used as parents in conservation breeding programs.  Kathleen Knight and Jennifer Koch of the USDA Forest Service will review EAB and ash tree mortality from an ecological perspective and report on the breeding program and latest results.  Jonathan Rosenthal of the Ecological Research Institute will share a model training program\, based on their results\, to find and collect materials critical for breeding resistance into the ash tree population. \n  \n\n\n\n This webinar is open to all. \nSeeking 1.25 CEU with the International Society of Arboriculture. Check the USDA Forest website for updates and to watch recordings of previous Urban Forest Connection webinars \nContact the Urban Forest Technology & Science Delivery Team at SM.FS.urban@usda.gov with questions\, feedback\, requests for special accommodations\, or speaker suggestions.  To receive future webinar notices and announcements\, sign up for mailing list.

SUMMARY:Invasive Bark and Ambrosia Beetles: Their Impacts and Detection
DESCRIPTION:April 15th @2PM Register \nPresented by: Robert (Bob) Rabaglia\, USDA – Forest Service \nBark and ambrosia beetles are one of the most commonly intercepted groups of insects at US ports\, and one of the most commonly established non-native species across the country. Although most of the more than 60 species of non-native bark and ambrosia beetles established in the US are not severely impacting US forests and trees\, some species have had significant impacts. This webinar will highlight some of these species\, and discuss what they have in common. The US Forest Service program of early detection of these potentially damaging species will also be discussed. \nRobert (Bob) Rabaglia is currently National Entomologist for US Forest Service\, Forest Health Protection in Washington DC.  He has been with the Forest Service since 2005 and coordinates national forest insect projects across the country.  He coordinates national funding and policy for projects such as\, early detection/rapid response\, gypsy moth\, southern pine beetle and hemlock woolly adelgid. Prior to joining the Forest Service\, he was forest entomologist in Maryland for 18 years. He received his MS and PhD degrees in entomology from the State University of New York\, College of Environmental Science & Forestry in Syracuse\, NY. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Potential Biological Control Agents Matched for Invasive Hydrilla Biotypes in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Webinar hosted by the Great Lakes Hydrilla Collaborative \nWhen:  May 12th at 3:00 pm EST. \nRegister: http://hydrillacollaborative.com/Home/Webinars \nPresenter: Matt Purcell\, Director of the USDA ARS Australian Biological Control Laboratory\, will provide an overview of those survey efforts and will discuss several insect species that are being evaluated to determine their potential effectiveness as biological control agents for U.S. invasive hydrilla. \nDescription: Biological control agents introduced into the U.S. for the control of invasive hydrilla have been partially effective and new agents are needed\, especially those adapted to cooler climates and environments. Since 2014\, extensive surveys of hydrilla have been conducted in Asia\, particularly China and the Republic of Korea\, where the U.S. introductions were thought to have originated. Samples were genetically characterized to identify matches with the three invasive U.S. introductions; separate dioecious and monoecious introductions last century and the more recent detection in the Connecticut River. Sites have been identified where each of these three distinct genotypes occur and include both monoecious and dioecious biotypes.  Surveys have been conducted at these sites to identify and collect herbivores to be evaluated as biological control agents.

SUMMARY:Invasive Species Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:New York will celebrate its 7th annual ISAW June 7-13\, 2020\nThe mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and the harm they can cause by engaging citizens in a wide range of activities across the state\, and empowering them to take action to help stop the spread. \nThis annual education campaign is comprised of various outreach initiatives and events led by partner organizations statewide. Activities include interpretive hikes\, invasive plant removal\, and restoration projects\, displays\, webinars\, radio and television programming\, and more. \nTo Host An ISAW Event \nParticipate in ISAW \nSLELO ISAW Social Media Tool Kit \nSLELO ISAW WEBINAR SERIES\nMonday\, June 8th\, 1 pm-2 pm You can help Enhance Outreach for Spotted Lanternfly Webinar REGISTER \nThe spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that feeds on a wide range of fruit\, ornamental and woody trees. If allowed to this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape\, orchard\, logging\, and even our tourism industries. SLF is considered a high priority prevention species on a regional and national level. SLELO PRISM has developed an outreach strategy that provides a targeted and measurable approach geared towards behavioral change. This approach engages local businesses and their customers who are most likely traveling from known SLF quarantine areas to recreate in New York.  If you are a charter captain\, marina or tackle/shop owner\, a campground manager\, or waterfront business in the counties of Oneida\, Oswego\, Jefferson\, Lewis or St. Lawrence counties we want to collaborate with you!

This webinar will provide an introduction to how biologicals controls are tested and used effectively\, discuss progress on controls for species such as water chestnut and knotweed\, and share hands-on experience with using biological controls to manage swallowwort. \nPresented by Rob Williams Manager of the SLELO PRISM \n  \nThursday\, June 11th\, 11 am-12 pm Enhancing The Health Of Your Urban Forests REGISTER \nUrban forests are a collection of trees and other woody vegetation growing along streets\, yards\, parks\, cemeteries\, school grounds\, and undeveloped green spaces. Urban forests provide green spaces in otherwise concrete jungles and have numerous environmental\, social\, and economic benefits. Invasive species and climate change threaten the health of urban forests. This webinar will focus on a step by step approach that municipal leaders can take to make their urban forests more sustainable in the wake of invasive pests and climate change.  An overview of the SLELO PRISM Urban Forest Sustainability Initiative and available resources will be provided. \nPresented by Robert Smith SLELO PRISM Terrestrial Resiliency and Restoration Coordinator
