SUMMARY:Developing a Recipe for Success: Can Public Harvest Control Invasive Species? Webinar
DESCRIPTION:From nutria to lionfish\, natural resource managers and culinary artists have speculated that harvest and use of invasive species could provide a means of managing or even eliminating nuisance populations. Through multiple reviews of the scientific and popular literature\, we have concluded that\, if used properly\, incentivizing and encouraging public or commercial harvest could represent an opportunity to support management goals while simultaneously boosting economic development and environmental awareness. However\, if used incorrectly\, negative consequences such as generation of perverse incentives to further spread invaders can occur. In this talk\, our presenters will highlight principles they believe can help promote success and minimize risks of harvest-based invasive species management approaches. They’ll review the biological\, ecological\, human health\, and socioeconomic factors involved in invasive species incentives. They will also offer recommendations to assist in successful\, delicious\, and fashionable implementation of a successful harvest program.

SUMMARY:Slowing the spread of Emerald Ash Borer in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of new detections and regulations in the Pacific Northwest (PNW)\, the Don’t Move Firewood campaign has heightened its targeted outreach efforts in Oregon and Washington in recent months to create new relationships and expand networks of communication on the firewood-forest health connection. Alex\, our firewood outreach specialist\, will share his structured situation analysis and implementation report that has expanded community knowledge and engagement in the region. \n\n\n\nPresentation by: Alex Meacham\, Firewood Outreach Coordinator\, The Nature Conservancy

SUMMARY:Firewood and the Forest Pest Multiverse: the influence of time on perceptions of regulation and detection
DESCRIPTION:The ease of detection of new geographically distinct infestations of forest pests and pathogens is highly dependent on several factors: damage patterns to trees\, existence and use of effective lures\, and visual distinctiveness of the pest itself. The resulting variable lags in time between establishment of a new pest population versus detection of that pest population can drive flawed perceptions of the history of regulatory action and effectiveness. This webinar will explore how time lags in detection can create missed opportunities for effective public outreach and regulatory engagement\, and how openly tackling these time lags as part of the conversation can help better protect trees around the USA—and the world. \n\n\n\nPresentation by: Leigh Greenwood\, Forest Pest and Pathogen Program Director\, The Nature Conservancy

SUMMARY:Preparing Invasive Species Herbarium Specimens
DESCRIPTION:Before digital databases became the standard\, plant specimens would be collected for storage in an herbarium. Properly prepared specimens can last for hundreds of years\, making them ideal for research\, education\, and long-term population tracking. As electronic record keeping grew in popularity\, physical specimens were collected less often\, but are still considered an important method of data collection today. \n\n\n\nJoin iMapInvasives as we discuss herbarium history\, the benefits of having physical specimens\, and how you can contribute specimens to the New York State Museum’s herbarium
