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: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: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: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.

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.
