SUMMARY:Invasive Species & Citizen Science Workshop for Teachers
DESCRIPTION:AUDIENCE: School Teachers only (curricula is geared towards middle school but can be tailored)\nContinuing Teacher and Leader Education Professional Development Credits are available for this workshop. Educators outside of Indian River Central will need to register for these credits as a conference request through MLP. 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.

SUMMARY:Spotted Lanternfly Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Attention all Maple Producers and Foresters & Growers of Hops\, Vineyards\, Tree Fruits & Nut Trees\nSpotted Lanternfly is an invasive species posing a new threat to NY’s forests\, as well as our agricultural & tourist industries  \n  \nSpotted Lanternfly (SLF)\, Lycorma delicatula\, is an invasive insect native to China\, India\, Vietnam. SLF was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014 and have since been detected in New Jersey\, Delaware\, Virginia\, Maryland\, Massachusetts\, and Connecticut (here’s an updated list). In New York\, dead insects have been detected in Delaware\, Albany\, Monroe\, Yates\, Suffolk\, Kings\, New York\, Chemung\, and Westchester counties. Following the reports\, DEC and Department of Agriculture and Markets (DAM) staff immediately began extensive surveys throughout the area. At this time\, no additional insects have been found. \nSLF has a high spread potential. Therefore\, early detection of this invasive crop and forest pest vital. \nSLF  pose a serious threat to agricultural crops especially\, hops\, vineyards\, tree fruits\, nut trees\, and maples.  SLF also reduce the quality of life for people living in heavily infested areas as the insect excretes a thick honeydew that makes outdoor recreation extremely unpleasant. \nThe St. Lawrence Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (SLELO PRISM)  & the St. Lawrence Cornell Cooperative Extension are hosting a workshop to inform the public about the threats SLF pose to our region. Growers of hops\, vineyards\, tree fruits\, nut trees\, and maples are strongly encouraged to attend. The workshop will be held on Wednesday\, March 13th from 1-4pm at the Constantia Town Hall Located at 14 Frederick Street Constantia NY. The workshop is free and open to the public. To attend please register online by visiting www.sleloinvasives.org and clicking on the events page\, Or contact megan.pistolese@tnc.org 315 387 3600 x7724. \nYou Can Help by Keeping an Eye Out For SLF \n\nSigns of an SLF infestation include:\nSap oozing or weeping from tiny open wounds on tree trunks\, which appears wet and may give off fermented odors.\nOne-inch-long egg masses that are brownish-gray\, waxy and mud-like when new. Old egg masses are brown and scaly.\nMassive honeydew build-up under plants\, sometimes with black sooty mold.\nReport any sightings to the DEC at  spottedlanternfly@dec.ny.gov\n\n Join us and Learn How to Help:\n\nLearn how SLF may impact your crops\nLearn to recognize SLF infestations\nLearn how to Report Observations Using the iMapInvasives Mobile App\nLearn of Volunteer Opportunities\n\nClick Here To Register. or Contact Megan.pistolese@tnc.org 315 387 3600 x7724 \n workshop flyer

SUMMARY:NY Sea Grant Watercraft Inspection Webinar Series:Slowing Aquatic Invasive Spread in 2019
DESCRIPTION:The 2019 edition of the Watercraft Inspection Program Leader educational webinar series developed by New York Sea Grant and featuring coastal science and AIS specialists begins on January 17 and will connect participants from multiple states.\nFour sessions in the webinar series will address issues associated with recreational boating as a key pathway in the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS)\, making watercraft inspection a critical contributor to limiting the spread of AIS among the more than 7\,000 lakes\, ponds\, and rivers in New York State and waters elsewhere. \nParticipants can join any or all of the one-hour\, free-access webinars available from 10 am to 11 am. Register at https://goo.gl/QzjodX. For more information\, contact New York Sea Grant at 315-331-8415\, www.nyseagrant.org/watercraftinspection. \nWebinar schedule: \n\nJanuary 17: Applying Behavioral Psychology to Stop AIS: Learn the fundamentals of creating behavior change through simple and proven methods of applied behavioral psychology. Present: Ken Donnelly\, president\, Beyond Attitude Consulting;\nJanuary 24: NY Watercraft Inspection Steward Program Application 2018 Data Overview: Methods\, Statistics\, Analysis: Learn the latest information about a real-time data collection tool launched in New York State in 2017 to track and analyze AIS trends to aid prevention\, education and response statewide. Presenters: Cathy McGlynn\, Ph.D.\, Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator\, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; and John Marino\, GIS Applications Developer\, and Forest Swaciak\, Intern\, New York Natural Heritage Program iMapInvasives Project Team;\nJanuary 31: Assessing the Risk of Future Aquatic Invasive Species Establishment in a Changing World: Using projected changes to temperatures and precipitation patterns in Pennsylvania as new and complex challenges to those working in aquatic invasive species management\, learn a process for assessing the risk of new AIS establishment under these climate scenarios and species that have already become threats. Presenter: Sara Stahlman\, Extension Leader\, Pennsylvania Sea Grant.\nFebruary 7: Dealing with the Public: Handling Harassment and Other Issues: Learn how training\, awareness\, and strong support from management serve as critical tools to keep watershed stewards safe throughout the boating season.
