Subject: Webinar
Description: Join to hear from experts who work closely with a key subset of “students of fire” – private landowners. Like any other group of people working in wildland fire, private landowners range from people who are new to fire to those who need advanced training. This webinar will cover communications, training methods, certification programs, and some common misconceptions about private lands burning.

Subject: Webinar
Description: The National Woodland Owners Association (NWOA) has partnered with Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) to increase awareness of forest/woodland opportunities to underserved landowners/farmers. This first webinar is the first of the
Workforce Opportunity Webinar Series. This webinar will delve into how to get a job in forestry with technical recruiters from regional organizations speaking on what they are looking for in their hires, courses students should take, experience students need to gain and information on internship opportunities.
Subject: Webinar
Description: Underplanting is the practice of introducing a new generation of trees under an existing overstory. This could be done to convert the stand to a different species, sometimes called “conversion with retention.” It can also be done with seedlings of the same species as the overstory if a multi-aged stand is desired, but natural regeneration is insufficient to achieve this structure. Some questions to be addressed: Why plant longleaf pine seedlings under an existing pine canopy? Is it possible to establish a longleaf pine stand without clearcutting? What preparation is needed for converting loblolly pine stands to longleaf pine dominance? How does one manage an underplanted stand to reduce damage and encourage growth?
Subject: Webinar
Description: Each second Thursday of the month, the Impact Collaborative's Extension Skills series will provide an opportunity for Cooperative Extension professionals to build capacity with tools, processes and tech skills training.

Subject: Webinar
Description: In this webinar, Dr. Andrew Loyd will discuss beech leaf disease (BLD) biology, impact, and potential management strategies. The American beech (Fagus grandifolia) plays a significant role in many forest ecosystems across the eastern US. It is an economically important, slow growing and shade tolerant tree which adds structural diversity to many forest types, and its nut production makes it a valuable food source for wildlife.

Subject: Webinar
Description: This presentation will include research associated with the publication “Complex and highly saturated soundscapes in restored oak woodlands reflect avian richness and abundance.” The research assessed whether soundscapes in an eastern North American woodland reflect biodiversity changes during restoration measured in a concurrent multitrophic field study. In five restored and five degraded woodland sites in Wisconsin, researchers sampled vegetation, measured arthropod biomass, conducted bird surveys, and recorded soundscapes for five days of every 15-day period from May to August 2022.

Subject: Webinar
Description: This presentation will include research associated with the publication “The Influence of Management Practice on the Snakes in Forest Food Webs.” Researchers investigated the effects of frequency of forest management on the trophic structure and resource use of snake communities in two pine forests under high and low frequencies of management (i.e., shorter fire return intervals and thinning versus longer fire return intervals and limited thinning). They sampled snakes, prey, and dominant basal resources across each site for three summers from 2018 to 2020. Using stable isotope analysis, they compared community-wide metrics of trophic structure and generated isotopic mixing models to determine the relative contribution of resources to snake consumers.
