SUMMARY:Stop Stocking: The Harmful Practice of Fish Stocking in Massachusetts and What You Can Do to Help
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, Massachusetts made national history when Governor Maura Healey signed Executive Order 618\, committing the Commonwealth to halt biodiversity loss by restoring critical habitats and protecting native species. But one longstanding state practice directly undermines these ambitious goals: the routine stocking of non-native fish into Massachusetts waterways. \nJoin BEAT for an in-depth webinar examining how MassWildlife’s fish stocking program conflicts with the state’s biodiversity mandate and what science tells us about its ecological impacts. \nDATE: Tuesday\, March 3\nTIME: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom — Registration required; click here to register.  \nEach year\, nearly half a million hatchery-raised\, non-native trout are released into rivers\, lakes\, and streams across Massachusetts\, often into habitats that still support native eastern brook trout. Research shows that stocking non-native fish disrupts freshwater ecosystems\, accelerates the declines of native species\, contributes to pollution\, and wastes significant public resources — as most stocked fish die shortly after release. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nWhat fish stocking is\nHow non-native stocking impacts native fish and other organisms\, water quality\, and ecosystem health\nWhy stocking conflicts with Executive Order 618 and the Department of Fish and Game’s own conservation goals\nProven\, science-based alternatives like habitat restoration and reconnecting waterways\nHow YOU can make a difference in changing MassWildlife’s practices and pushing Massachusetts to support biodiversity and resilient freshwater ecosystems\n\nParticipants will learn how to take action locally to effect state-wide change. We look forward to seeing you there! \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:From Wasteland to Wonder
DESCRIPTION:The way we currently manage our suburban and urban landscapes is creating an ecological wasteland. Fortunately\, we have an alternative path: by working ​​with natural systems instead of against them\, we have the power to help Earth heal. Basil will begin by discussing the functions of natural systems and how they’re being damaged by standard land care practices. Then he will delve into impactful ways we can take action\, from planting saplings and saving mature trees\, to creating pocket forests and replacing our lawns with Piedmont prairies. Finally\, for those who want to help shift paradigms even more\, Basil will introduce us to his initiative Project Pando\, which provides a  model for community-based efforts that gather native seeds\, raise them into trees\, and give them away for free. \nBasil Camu pursues his purpose and passions as the co-founder of Leaf & Limb\, a tree care company in Raleigh\, NC\, and Project Pando\, a non-profit that aims to connect people to trees. He is an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist and author of the book From Wasteland to Wonder – Easy Ways We Can Help Heal Earth in the Sub/Urban Landscape. His work has been featured in the New York Times\, Gardenista\, and A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach. \n\n\nRegister\n\nDATE: Wednesday\, February 11 \nTIME: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nLOCATION: Online via Zoom

SUMMARY:What You Choose to Plant Can Help Massachusetts' Rare Bees . . . Or Not
DESCRIPTION:Native bees have a 150 million year history with blooming plants. Not unexpectedly it has gotten complex. Many bees are extremely picky about the flowers they gather pollen and nectar from. Explore this pickiness and also point out that many of the most uncommon bees are specialists and simply planting more of their pollen plants can be the type of conservation that each of us can do in our backyards. \nSam has coordinated the North American Breeding Bird Survey Program\, developed the North American Amphibian Monitoring Program\, the BioBlitz\, Cricket Crawl\, and FrogwatchUSA programs and worked on the design and evaluation of monitoring programs.  Currently he is developing an inventory and monitoring program for native bees\, online identification guides for North American bees at discoverlife.org\, and reviving the North American Bird Phenology Program. \nThis will be recorded. \n\n\nRegister for this presentation\n\nDATE: Tuesday\, January 27 \nTIME: 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM \nLOCATION: Online via Zoom

DESCRIPTION:Author Sharon Udasin will discuss her new book\, “Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America.” Learn how PFAS — a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of — poisoned the entire country.

She was a Ted Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism at the University of Colorado Boulder and has reported for numerous outlets\, most recently covering U.S. West climate issues for “The Hill” from 2021-2025. She co-authored “Poisoning the Well” with Rachel Frazin.\n\nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded.

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
