SUMMARY:Restoration for whom\, by whom? Exploring the socio-political dimensions of restoration
DESCRIPTION:As the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration launches into action\, urgent attention is needed to the power and politics that shape the values\, meanings\, and science driving restoration\, to enable the creation of equitable restoration initiatives. In this webinar\, we adopt a feminist political ecology lens\, with a focus on gendered power relations\, historical awareness\, and scale integration\, to examine the socio-political and economic dynamics of restoration. We demonstrate the potential of such a perspective for thinking about the social inclusivity of restoration agendas and initiatives\, and demonstrate its applicability to different restoration contexts. \nWe bring this perspective to life through three case studies published in a special issue of Ecological Restoration that asks: “Restoration for Whom\, by Whom?”. The first case\, based in Kenya\, shows how attention to power relations is needed to create more equitable Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes. The second\, which focuses on the restoration of an urban lake in Bengaluru\, India\, demonstrates the importance of taking a historical perspective to understand equity considerations in restoration. The last shows the importance of conducting multi-scalar analyses to promote inclusion in and through restoration\, using wetlands restoration as an example. Together\, these present more grounded and nuanced ways forward for inclusive restoration initiatives. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Agroforestry Workshop: Introducing Forest Farming and Silvopasture to the Small Farms Community
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar will explore some of the different ways the small farms community can develop greater resilience by adopting agroforestry practices. Agroforestry describes a wide range of land-use practices that combine farming (of plants\, animals\, fungi) with trees\, shrubs and forest ecosystems. Agroforestry can help provide new opportunities to increase farm income while also receiving other environmental and social benefits. \nThis workshop will give a broad overview of agroforestry with special attention focusing on forest farming and silvopasture. Forest farming is the cultivation of high-value\, non-timber forest products under the protection of a forest canopy. Forest farming does not significantly interfere or modify forest ecosystems\, but essentially allows agricultural producers to farm in the woods. Some of the forest products that will be highlighted include maple & walnut syrup\, raspberries\, blackberries\, pawpaw\, shitake & lions mane mushrooms\, nuts trees (walnut\, hickory\, pecan\, hazelnut) and medicinal crops like American ginseng\, cohosh and goldenseal. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Badger Swine Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin may be known as the dairy state\, but ties to swine production in Wisconsin run deep. Historically\, immigrant populations demanded pork for the manufacture of sausage and other products\, leading to as much as 80% of all Wisconsin farms having pigs on the farm in the early twentieth century. Pig farming looks different today with less total farms that have pigs on them\, but raising pigs continues to be an important part of agriculture in Wisconsin. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:How Farming Systems Impact Bionutrients
DESCRIPTION:How plants are grown can have an immense effect on nutritional content. A healthy\, high functioning soil will produce crops that are flavorful\, aromatic\, and nutritious. Studies have reflected this by showing that organic production can result in higher antioxidant levels. However\, nutrition is still not well understood\, and the actual nutrient levels in of crops can vary dramatically with farmer\, season\, and seed. This webinar will discuss what we know – and don’t know – when it comes to crop nutrition and highlight new technology and campaigns to better understand how to maximize the nutrition of our food. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:USGS and USFWS collaborative project to conduct a national horizon scan for organisms in trade
DESCRIPTION:Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to the United States (U.S.) biodiversity and have cost the U.S. over $120 billion in damages each year (Pimental et al. 2005). The impacts of invasive species range in size and scope from small-scale and localized up to broad shifts in ecosystem function and can influence economically essential species and those of conservation concern alike. The consequences of an invasion include not only degradation of the natural ecosystem but also economic repercussions and effects on human and wildlife health in the invaded areas. \nThe focus of this project is to conduct a global horizon scan to help identify alien vertebrate species within the Organisms in Trade Pathway at greatest risk of entering the country\, establishing populations\, and becoming invasive in the U.S. Our work will address arrival\, establishment\, and impact via consideration of propagule pressure\, climatic similarity to occupied range\, and prior invasion history of the focal species and its relatives\, respectively. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Pond Treatment with Spent Lime to Control Phosphorus Release from Sediments
DESCRIPTION:Sedimentation ponds that accumulate particles and phosphorus in stormwater runoff are a standard and widely applied storm water best management practice. However\, just as internal loading occurs in\nlakes during warm summer periods when the potential for oxygen depletion is greatest\, aging ponds have the potential to release more phosphorus than is captured during summer months (Watershed\nProtection Techniques\, Technical Note 102). Dredging is a potential\, but expensive\, option to improve pond performance\, but phosphorus release may occur long before a pond is filled with sediment. Areal\napplications of alum and iron can control phosphorus release\, but incur raw material production costs. \nIn cooperation with SPRWS\, City of White Bear Lake\, RWMWD\, and VLAWMO staff\, Barr Engineering proposes this study to evaluate the application of spent lime (amorphous calcium carbonate from\ndrinking water treatment) to pond sediments to reduce phosphorus release during warm summer months. Spent lime can reduce phosphorus release by forming calcium phosphate and potentially by\nincreasing the pH of the treated sediments to facilitate iron and aluminum phosphate binding. This study includes a laboratory and a field component and is intended to validate large-scale applications. \nThe laboratory component includes the addition of spent lime at a range of doses to phosphorus rich pond sediment to determine optimal spent lime dosing. The field component involves the addition of spent lime to two ponds and monitoring to determine the magnitude of reduced phosphorus release\, evaluate cost-effective methods for areal application and quantify the benefits of this water treatment byproduct. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:Social Impacts of Extractivism and the Promise of Community Enterprise
DESCRIPTION:A part of the Yale Forest Forum: The Future of Wood Building Products in a Changing Climate \nWood is a renewable resource that has wide material applications in many industries. Wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests store carbon and can play an important role in combating climate change. Recent innovations in the use of wood have led to the development of new products that can replace traditional fossil-based carbon-intensive materials\, particularly in the construction and energy sectors. Understanding the potential environmental impacts and societal implications of increases in both conventional and emerging wood products across their respective life cycles\, as well as their possible reuse in a circular construction economy\, is critical in assessing the climate mitigation potential of wood vs. other materials. \nWhat is the future role of forest products in addressing climate\, resources\, societal\, and environmental challenges? What are the environmental\, economic\, and societal implications for using more forest products? Hear from speakers representing forestry\, industrial ecology\, architecture\, conservation\, and academia. \nInfo here.

SUMMARY:How Your Organization Can Buy Paris Agreement-Verified Rainforest Carbon Credits for the First Time
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nAs governments step up efforts to strengthen the Paris Agreement at COP26 and tackle the climate emergency\, corporate action has never been more critical. Join our webinar and learn how\, for the first time\, corporations can achieve carbon neutrality\, protect tropical rainforests\, and directly support the global climate agreement. \nFormalized in Article 5 of the Paris Agreement\, the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) Mechanism was designed to “slow\, halt and reverse forest cover and carbon loss” globally. The initiative has led to sequential declines in emissions and helped protect over 90% of the world’s tropical rainforests for over two decades. \nPreviously only available through the UNFCCC to governments and multilateral banks\, Paris Agreement-verified rainforest carbon credits can now be purchased directly from countries by corporations\, institutional investors\, and consumers. In March this year\, Papua New Guinea was the first country to join a new trading platform called REDD.plus when it onboarded 9 million metric tons of carbon reductions. These credits will be followed by over 110 million tonnes from Belize and Gabon in the next twelve months. \nInfo here.
