The issue has been the subject of national-scale public awareness campaigns in both the U.S. and Canada, as well as similar campaigns by individual states and provinces. Currently, a majority of U.S. states have imposed restrictions on firewood movement, in some cases enforced with fines or other penalties for violations. Nevertheless, despite this attention, there has been little quantitative analysis of the risks posed by recreational movement of firewood. This may be partially explained by a lack of data on firewood transport and utilization by campers. In this webinar, the presenter will provide some context regarding firewood and forest pests, and will also discuss what has been learned about this issue through indirect analysis of camper travel patterns rather than their actual use of firewood.

Part I aired on July 13, 2012 at 12 Eastern. Most of the Southeast’s primary game species (deer, turkey, quail) at one time thrived in natural longleaf pine ecosystems characterized by frequent fire and a diverse native herbaceous and shrub layer. As fire was excluded and longleaf forests were converted to lob or slash plantations, native herbs and shrubs declined. Many landowners became accustomed to planting food plots with species that were promoted by nurseries and biologists. Many of these food plot species were exotic Asian plants that are now identified as highly invasive weeds. This webinar will identify native alternatives that are commercially available and preferred by game species. Furthermore, many native herbs and shrubs are rarely invasive, more attractive on the landscape, and potential food sources for human foragers!

Some of these questions include, but are not limited to: what plant species should be used, should seed or plugs be used, what site prep techniques should be used, and what restoration strategies should be used? This webinar will address these questions as well as other pertinent understory restoration issues.

This webinar will examine: site preparation techniques and tradeoffs the landowner or manager should consider, in terms of intensity and early survival and growth of longleaf seedlings. Some scenarios require intensive site preparation for any hope of success. Other situations call for minimalist techniques to preserve native groundcover or to reduce carrying cost over the length of the rotation.

Longleaf is regarding as the king of all North American pines in regards to the quality of its pinestraw. Some longleaf plantations are commercially viable as early as seven years post planting. Tragically, most landowners are under the impression that they must remove all native ground cover to harvest pinestraw. This webinar will examine the ecological costs and the economic benefits of raking pinestraw with various techniques. Learn how some landowners and land managers have been able to keep their native groundcover while raking in excess of $100.00 an acre annually.

However, small-scale private landowners often have limited information regarding how to plan for management of these benefits. A map is one of the most important tools a rural or urban forest landowner needs for planning and management especially when planning for multiple uses. A project was started in 2011 to compile outreach information and examples of online mapping and spatial resources that can be used by landowners and forest land managers, such as consulting foresters and wildlife biologists, to help them maximize benefits of planning and evaluation of multiple use management on small-scale forests with limited or no capital outlay. The information is organized in a booklet tutorial with examples of online spatial resources to help landowners and conservation professionals make maps and utilize aerial photography, topographic layers, soils information, data collected with GPS units, and even visual simulations for an area of interest (timber stand, agriculture field, pasture, etc.). The booklet is designed for beginners and provides keywords, homepage links, tutorial information, examples, and screenshots for online programs like the USDA/NRCS Web Soil Survey, Google Earth, Alabama Historic Aerial Photo Archive, USDA/NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway, and USDA National Agroforestry Center CanVIS. This webinar will focus on the booklet and provide an overview of the programs and example products.

Two recently released reports by Environmental Defense Fund outline EU policy drivers and describe how existing programs and practices can provide a Pathway to Sustainability for biomass procurement. Please join Will McDow (EDF), Brian Kittler (Pinchot Institute) and Jamie Joudrey (University of Toronto) in a webinar discussion of EU policies, the growing demand for wood pellet exports and options to meet Europe’s sustainability requirements.

The webinar will introduce participants to TACCIMO – a Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options – through case studies where TACCIMO has been applied. Case studies will include a range of potential TACCIMO applications from federal land management planning to engaging private landowners during Extension and consulting activities. Common to all examples is TACCIMO meeting the growing need for relevant and concise science to help natural resource professionals address the challenges of climate change.

Participants will learn the role family forest owners play in ensuring the availability of domestic wood supply and the importance of demand in US timber for sustaining forests in continuing to serve as a natural climate solution. As the prospect of increased utilization of wood products in the built environment, specifically mass timber and CLT, as a climate solution surges, riding the wave is the tremendous potential to boost the demand for domestically sourced timber.
