SUMMARY:Native Bees with Sam Droege
DESCRIPTION:Bees are tiny\, one bush or one clump of perennials is often all it takes to foster native bees in your yard. Within a mile of your yard (urban or rural) there are at least over 100 species of bees looking for the right plants. Decline of honeybees is well documented\, but trends in local native bee species remain uncertain. What do we know about native bees?\nLearn from Sam Droege\, wildlife biologist with the USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center\, who has spent years studying and tracking native bees. \n2 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:Forest Management Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:As we welcome in the spring tree planting season\, we are also unfortunately faced with limitations on our ability to get out and plant because of coronavirus-related restrictions. While we may be stuck inside for the time being\, this provides a great opportunity to brush up on our knowledge and skills on urban and community forestry management and arboriculture. To this end\, the Penn State Extension Urban and Community Forestry team is pleased to offer a free weekly webinar series starting Wednesday\, April 1\, 2020. This webinar series will cover a range of topics including tree planting\, site analysis\, species selection\, nursery stock considerations\, and dealing with tricky planting sites in built environments. Other topics will address management of the urban forest\, including inventories\, ordinances\, and planning. Join us each Wednesday at noon for these webinars. If you miss one\, recordings will be available on the Penn State Extension website. \nWednesday\, May 6\, 2020: TreeVitalize Recommended Tree Species\, presented by Julianne Schieffer \nWednesday\, May 13\, 2020: Planting Aftercare: Essential to Establishment and Long-Term Survival for Trees\, presented by Vincent Cotrone \nWednesday\, May 20\, 2020: Community Tree Inventories\, presented by Brian Wolyniak \nWednesday\, May 27\, 2020: Municipal Tree Ordinances\, presented by William Elmendorf \nWednesday\, June 3\, 2020: Community Tree Plans\, presented by William Elmendorf

SUMMARY:Garden Stories
DESCRIPTION:In our age of environmental anxiety\, gardens can be places of respite for us\, as well as powerful agents of environmental healing with plant communities that feed and shelter wildlife\, and green engineering that prevents erosion\, flooding and pollution. Four accomplished landscape designers will share stories about particular gardens they have designed\, including their favorite native plants\, and lessons learned through success and failure along the way.\nAlongside the event\, Izel Native Plants will offer an assortment of plants for sale that solve your garden challenges\, from groundcovers for dry shade to late bloomers that support fall pollinators. These native species will be available to purchase as plugs without having to commit to a full flat.\n2.5 CBLP CEUs

SUMMARY:Webinar: Planting Design Considerations
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesdays at noon\, ELA invites you on A Walk in the Garden\, a virtual weekly diversion as we adjust to the restrictions that the COVID-19 virus has forced onto our lives. \nPresented as free webinars to gardeners everywhere\, these presentations invite garden and landscape experts to share gardening tips\, beautiful images\, and inspiration. We hope anyone who is isolating\, quarantining\, or sheltering-in-place will find comfort and collective strength with a communal walk in the garden.\nA (Virtual) Walk in the Garden with Christie Dustman\nPlanting Design Considerations  As you survey your garden\, do you have only one of each plant? Do you see other gardens that seem to be in bloom throughout the seasons and then come home to your unexciting garden? Does planting design seem to be an innate sense that you just don’t have? Come and learn to think about plants in terms of their form and function first\, and then learn some strategies to best lay out your planting plan.\nOne CBLP CEU for each one hour webinar

SUMMARY:Webinar- Site Analysis: the First Step in Successful Tree Planting
DESCRIPTION:The success of newly planted trees in the landscape is not just dependent on proper planting and after care\, but also on proper analysis of the planting site. Site analysis considers the characteristics and history of the landscape to help ensure successful tree planting projects. This webinar reviews the site characteristics and how past history of a site can help determine what tree species are appropriate for planting.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Salt In the Water\, Action on the Ground
DESCRIPTION:Each winter\, billions of pounds of salt are spread on America’s roads to keep drivers and pedestrians safe. But all this salt poses a major health risk to both humans and wildlife. Join us to learn about how excessive salt affects benthic macroinvertebrates and other aquatic life in freshwater streams\, and how one local community group is raising awareness and changing behavior around salt in the community! Dr. John Jackson is a Senior Research Scientist at Stroud Water Research Center. He research includes population and evolutionary ecology of stream insects\, the role of abiotic and biotic processes in determining the structure and function of stream assemblages\, energy and nutrient exchange within streams and between streams and their surrounding watersheds\, and benthic monitoring and water quality assessment. Kevin Roth is the Education and Outreach Coordinator of the Pennypack Ecological Trust. In addition to his work as an educator and program manager\, Kevin organizes a number of volunteer initiatives including Winter Salt Watch volunteers. \n1 CBLP CEU is available

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Call To Action for the Ash Tree
DESCRIPTION:Ash tree species in North America are under mortal threat from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)\, now in 35 states and five Canadian provinces.  There are ongoing efforts to conserve this native tree species by producing genetically diverse\, resistant seedlings suitable for restoring ash on the landscape.  Identifying “lingering ash” is a critical component of amplifying these efforts\, and this presentation will explain the narrow window of time in which urgent actions are needed to discover and preserve these individuals.  Once identified\, these trees can be replicated through grafting for further testing.  Trees that are shown to have some level of resistance can be used as parents in conservation breeding programs.  Kathleen Knight and Jennifer Koch of the USDA Forest Service will review EAB and ash tree mortality from an ecological perspective and report on the breeding program and latest results.  Jonathan Rosenthal of the Ecololgical Research Institute will share a model training program\, based on their results\, to find and collect materials critical for breeding resistance into the ash tree population. \nGo to the website for login info \n1 CBLP CEU

SUMMARY:Leaping to Solutions Climate Change Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a topic of daily conversation these days. Scientists have well-documented evidence that human activity\, starting with the dawn of the industrial revolution\, is the driving force behind these changes. During our November 2018 symposium\, we touched on the topic of climate change and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees genuinely appreciated the chance to hear the facts and gain a better understanding of climate change basics.\nBased on that feedback\, we’re focusing this symposium solely on climate change. Come join us on Leap Day\, Saturday\, February 29\, 2020 to expand on the basics and have the chance to hear from local officials on how cities in the Tidewater area are preparing to mitigate the challenges associated with sea level rise.  \nAs an added bonus that day\, Elizabeth River Project will host their 2nd Annual Youth Resilience Expo. See how students in grades K-12 envision solutions to address flooding\, promote resilience actions and reduce their carbon footprint at their schools. We’ve built in extra time during lunch for symposium attendees to enjoy these innovative solutions. \n4 CBLP CEUs are available

DESCRIPTION:Theme: The New Perennial Movement and Why It Matters \nWhile much of the nursery industry is focused on the latest and greatest\, compact\, spring blooming whatever\, there’s a counter movement afoot. Paul Westervelt will discuss this style that embraces a more natural look\, a different pallet of plants (and scads of them on tight centers) all while creating beneficial habitat and food for pollinators. \nBeer and beverages will be available.  A field tour is included. \nVSLD members earn 5 CEUS \n3.5 CBLP CEUs will be available.
