SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinar: Examining the Connection Between Woody Plant Biodiversity and Arthropod Pest Management Interventions in Residential Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The woody plant communities found on residential properties constitute an integral component of cities’ green infrastructure and serve as a nexus between urban residents and the natural world. Despite this importance\, residential landscapes are infrequently designed with principles of sustainability in mind\, resulting in the extensive use of pesticides to suppress a diverse array of plant pests. In this presentation\, we will discuss recently published research that asks whether ecological theory can inform the sustainable design and management of woody plant communities on urban residential properties. \n\n\n\nSpeaker – Dr. Chris Riley\, PhD \n\n\n\nISA CEU credit – 1.0

SUMMARY:Mitigating Urban Heat Threats through a Community-Driven Framework
DESCRIPTION:Extreme urban heat disproportionately affects poorer and communities of color in Richmond\, VA\, which is tied to long-standing histories of marginalization (such as the practice of redlining). This places these communities at a heightened state of precariousness in the face of worsening climate extremes\, such as more frequent heat waves. Consequently\, cities must manage and mitigate urban heat threats. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Jeremy Hoffman and Sheri Shannon will describe an innovative\, community-driven\, and collaborative network of nonprofits and scientists that seeks to increase tree canopy in neighborhoods shown to be hotter through a novel urban heat island assessment methodology. They will reflect on funding mechanisms\, cooperation between organizations with differential power\, and challenges posed by working with disconnected city programs.

SUMMARY:Managing Invasive Woody Shrubs Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mark Renz (Professor and Extension Specialist UW Madsion) Anne Pearce (Wisconsin First Detector Network Coordinator). \n\n\n\nInvasive woody shrubs like bush honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.) and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) are some of the most impactful invasive plants in Wisconsin. They are common in forests\, pastures\, rights-of-ways\, and even residential areas. In these areas they can establish dense infestations that reduce services these areas provide\, including wildlife habitat\, nutrient retention\, and prevention of soil erosion. While control of these plants can be effective\, it is time consuming and expensive with highly technical management needed over multiple years to gain success. \n\n\n\nIf you or your staff manage lands with invasive woody shrubs\, consider attending this FREE one-day workshop. The workshop will focus on demonstrating and discussing common control methods (using herbicides\, mechanical methods\, and biological control) and tradeoffs with each method. As a part of the workshop\, we will review different herbicides and application methods and how to select the appropriate herbicide/application method for your site. Training will be conducted by Dr. Mark Renz\, who has been researching woody invasive plant control approaches in Wisconsin for the past 15 years. Currently he has several active projects involving woody plant control with mechanical\, biological\, and herbicides that he will discuss. \n\n\n\nThe field day is on July 28th in Fitchburg Wisconsin (Fitchburg Public Library Meeting Room\, 5530 Lacy Rd Fitchburg\, WI 53711). We will meet at 9:30 at where we will begin in the classroom. After a free lunch (provided by sponsors) we will go to nearby McGaw Park to visit demonstrations of common control techniques and view the successes (and failures) one year after treatment.While the workshop is free\, registration is required by July 15th. Please don’t delay in registering as space is limited for this event. To register visit: https://renzweedscience.cals.wisc.edu/field-day/ and click the link for registration.

SUMMARY:Breeding for EAB-Resistance: What Does the Future Look like for Ash?
DESCRIPTION:EAB threatens the survival of ash trees in the U.S. where it is a common hardwood species especially in riparian and wetland forests. Ash was also used extensively for soil conservation (including wind breaks) and in urban green spaces and streets. Surviving\, or “lingering”\, ash trees that had maintained healthy canopies for at least two years after all other large ash trees had died were identified in natural forests long-infested by EAB. EAB egg bioassay experiments confirmed that these trees have an increased level of resistance due to defense responses\, including death of early instar larvae\, larvae with significantly lower weights\, or leaves less preferred for feeding by EAB adults. This webinar discusses research now being done to further understand this phenomenon and other findings to develop tree-improvement programs that could be successful in producing EAB resistant seed. Longer term goals include combining the best performing progeny from many families into a second generation seed orchard\, so that the seed produced may be used for restoration plantings.

SUMMARY:Forest Pest Damage from the Carbon Sequestration Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Both native and non-native forest insects and diseases across the contiguous United States are reducing the ability of the nation’s forests to capture and store carbon dioxide. This webinar will describe a study published in Fall 2021 in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change that calculated forests damaged by insects sequestered 69% less carbon than undamaged forests\, while those affected by disease sequestered 28% less carbon. The webinar will briefly cover the overarching findings of the study\, and then go into depth on what it means from the invasive forest pest perspective- including how to bring this issue to light when discussing prevention and management of forest pests\, and what improvements to current actions could further mitigate these sequestration losses.
