SUMMARY:Webinar: New Incentives for Heat Pumps
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 9th @ noon & Tuesday\, March 22nd @ 7:30 p.m. \nJoin Green Energy Consumers Alliance at their free webinar to hear how incentives in MA & RI could help make heat pumps more affordable for you\, plus an overview of the benefits of these efficient heating systems. \nThis webinar will cover:\n– What are heat pumps?\n– How do they compare with our current heating methods?\n– What types of homes are they most cost-effective in?\n– How to find good installers\n– What questions to ask when you’re gathering bids?\n– What are the current incentives to install in Massachusetts and Rhode Island? \nClick here to RSVP.

SUMMARY:Forest Carbon and Multi-Use Forest Management — Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 16th @ noon and/or 7:00 p.m. \nThe influence of active forest management on forest carbon is little known for mature oak forests. This webinar will provide an overview of concepts related to forest carbon sequestration and storage in the context of multiple-use forestry. These are concepts that forest managers and woodland owners should consider when including carbon as an objective in management. Further\, as a specific example from southern New England\, three study areas each with six forest management practices were established in Connecticut in the early 1980s: uncut forest preserves\, silvicultural clearcutting\, shelterwood with final overstory removal\, multi-aged crop tree\, diameter limit\, and high-grading. This study found that active management practices can provide valuable forest products while maintaining or increasing carbon sequestration. Management also provides the opportunity to create climate resilient forests with enhanced wildlife habitat. Presented by Drs. Joseph Orefice (Yale University) and Jeffrey Ward (Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station). \nNote that webinars are live at noon and 7PM\, for an hour each\, but the meeting space is reserved from noon until 8PM. Your registration allows participation in either or both the noon and 7PM webinar\, and from any computer. \nREGISTER HERE
