Presentation summary:
This webinar is intended to help people look at and identify woody plants. Many of us are familiar with certain tree leaves, but leaves are helpful in identifying trees but only when they are accessible. The intent in this program is to highlight attributes that woody plants have that can be used with diagnostic keys and samples or in the field to distinguish one species from another. The webinar will cover what might be considered comparable to the first lecture a classroom full of forestry students might get in their course on dendrology (the study of trees).

Dr. David McGill, West Virginia State Extension Forester, West Virginia University

Presentation summary:

This webinar discusses trends in public knowledge and attitudes towards timber harvesting on private lands in the United States. This topic is particularly relevant considering the prevalence of family forests, and the importance of private forests in providing timber and other ecosystem service benefits, such as clean water supply and wildlife habitat. Findings indicate that the public and forest owners share many similar values about forest management and government assistance for forest owners.

Tangled Title and Timber

Southern Regional Extension Forestry 

Date: December 14, 2018
Time: 11:00 AM - noon, eastern time

Registration: You do not need to pre-register for this webinar

http://www.forestrywebinars.net/webinars/tangled-title-and-timber?sr=wp~mkt-whenPub

Presentation summary:
http://www.forestrywebinars.net/webinars/tangled-title-and-timber?sr=wp~mkt-whenPubHeirs property presents many challenges, particularly with respect to who owns timber on the land. This webinar will focus on how loggers and lawyers can work together to address timber harvesting issues on heirs property. Heirs property is land that has been passed from generation to generation in such a way that multiple people can own the property.  This can be very problematic with forested tracts of land, especially when it comes time to conduct a timber sale and harvest.  On one hand, lawyers who often help heirs property owners may not know the details of how a timber sale and harvest works, while foresters and loggers often have little understanding of the challenges heirs property can present to conducting a legal sale and harvest.  This webinar will address this issue from both viewpoints:  that of lawyer, and that of forester, and will provide clarity on how these challenging situations can be navigated.

Presentation summary:
Among their most critical decisions, foresters must judge the age arrangement in a stand, and then decide what silviculture to apply. Basing those choices on the diameter distribution alone may lead to treatments that do not sustain the values of interest or capitalize on the productive capacity of a site. In fact, research clearly tells us not to believe the old adage that even-age stands have bell-shaped diameter distributions, Instead, mid-aged and older even-aged northern hardwoods generally have a distribution that looks more reverse-J in shape. Among these stands, taking out the larger/older trees and leaving the smaller/older ones will result in unexpected responses due to major difference in the diameter growth patterns between trees in even- vs. uneven-aged stands. That of the small trees in uneven-aged stands generally increases follo

The webinar will cover how to identify signs of emerald ash borer and potential chemical treatment options for individual trees. Further discussion will address woodlot silvicultural treatments before and after EAB infestations, including considerations for pre- and post-salvage operations in context to long-term forest management and inclusion with other silvicultural activities.

Presentation summary:
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) was initially discovered in mule deer in Colorado 50 years ago but was detected in Pennsylvania in 2012 in wild and captive white-tailed deer. How CWD is transmitted and how it found its way to Pennsylvania and surrounding states is open to great debate. We will delve into some of these possibilities on the origin of CWD and offer insight into current management of the disease in Pennsylvania.

Presentation summary:
Removing invasive plants, promoting regeneration, and other practices top the needed activities for improving woodland health and function. For many landowners, there is sometimes difficulty in finding someone to do the improvement work—especially for owners of smaller acreages. Recently, the idea of small businesses generating products from small-diameter or poor quality wood has gained traction. This webinar will focus on new ways of think about getting work done in the woods, focusing on small business development around restorative forestry services and value-added products.

Presentation summary:
Stream fish are some of the most threatened species of organisms worldwide. Unlike fish that inhabit larger waterways, many threats to stream fish can be traced back to improper management of land adjacent to the stream corridor. This presentation will discuss the threats to stream fish communities, common warning signs that in-stream habitat is declining, and the actions landowners can take to protect and improve stream habitat. There will be a special emphasis on coldwater stream communities, including trout streams commonly found throughout Pennsylvania.
