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:Introduction to the Study of Lichens
DESCRIPTION:April 4\, 6\, 8\, 11\, and 13 | 7:00 — 9:00 PM \nThis seminar will introduce participants to the identification\, biology\, ecology\, and human uses of lichens with a focus on North America. Participants will learn the terminology that describes characters of lichens and their lifestyles and how these characters are used to identify lichens. Participants will learn how to collect and prepare specimens so they can build a starter collection of their own. They have the option to share specimens with other participants so these can be identified and discussed during the seminar. \nAbout the Instructor\nGary Perlmutter (gary.perlmutter@gmail.com) is an Associate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Herbarium (NCU). Originally from southern California\, he first became interested in lichens and lichenology while studying at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (SBBG) as an independent researcher in 1996. Gary took his skills\, curiosity\, and starter collection of about 25 specimens from a lichen workshop at SBBG to North Carolina\, where he has been active in collecting\, studying\, and teaching lichen classes and workshops since his arrival in 2003. Gary is an Eagle Hill alumnus\, having taken the Crustose Lichen workshop taught by Irwin Brodo in 2005. In 2016 Gary earned an M.S. degree from North Carolina State University with the thesis: “Assessing Highway Pollution Effects on Forest Lichen Communities in Western Wake County\, North Carolina\, USA.” Gary has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals and newsletters from 2005 to the present and manages the lichen collection at NCU. \nThis seminar cost $175.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Study of Lichens
DESCRIPTION:April 4\, 6\, 8\, 11\, and 13 | 7:00 — 9:00 PM \nThis seminar will introduce participants to the identification\, biology\, ecology\, and human uses of lichens with a focus on North America. Participants will learn the terminology that describes characters of lichens and their lifestyles and how these characters are used to identify lichens. Participants will learn how to collect and prepare specimens so they can build a starter collection of their own. They have the option to share specimens with other participants so these can be identified and discussed during the seminar. \nAbout the Instructor\nGary Perlmutter (gary.perlmutter@gmail.com) is an Associate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Herbarium (NCU). Originally from southern California\, he first became interested in lichens and lichenology while studying at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (SBBG) as an independent researcher in 1996. Gary took his skills\, curiosity\, and starter collection of about 25 specimens from a lichen workshop at SBBG to North Carolina\, where he has been active in collecting\, studying\, and teaching lichen classes and workshops since his arrival in 2003. Gary is an Eagle Hill alumnus\, having taken the Crustose Lichen workshop taught by Irwin Brodo in 2005. In 2016 Gary earned an M.S. degree from North Carolina State University with the thesis: “Assessing Highway Pollution Effects on Forest Lichen Communities in Western Wake County\, North Carolina\, USA.” Gary has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals and newsletters from 2005 to the present and manages the lichen collection at NCU. \nThis seminar cost $175.

SUMMARY:Hornwort Biology and Systematics
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, February 19 & 26\, March 5\, 12\, & 19 @ 1:00 — 3:00 p.m. \nInstructor: Juan Carlos Villarreal Aguilar\nTuition Cost: $175 \nHornworts represent the smallest phylum among land plants\, with only 220 species. Despite the reduced species number\, they have a fascinating biology and hold clues on the evolution of symbiotic interactions and chloroplast evolution. Most of the diversity of hornworts is found in tropical and subtemperate areas from the Americas and Asia (especially India and China). Despite the evolutionary and\, recently\, genomic importance of the group\, the taxonomy remains challenging and little known. \nThis seminar will provide an introduction to the diversity of hornworts\, with focus on the American continents (from Canada to Patagonia) and Europe. We will first identify study the morphology and anatomy of hornworts and discuss last decade studies on morphology\, phylogenetics\, symbiosis\, systematics\, and genomics. Then\, we will focus on the regions of interest\, giving special attention to genera and species present. The participant will be guided through the taxonomical literature available for regional taxa\, and the morphological particularities when using the few available keys. To dive into the hornworts\, we will explore their great variety\, exploring their most common species in different substrates and ecosystems\, including páramos\, montane\, premontane rain forest\, and lowland tropical rain forest. This seminar will use zoom for interactive lectures by way of power point presentations. The seminar will provide a deep knowledge of this fascinating group of plants and discover why they have become important and popular in the field of evolutionary biology! \n• Participants need to have a Zoom account (https://zoom.us ; sign-up is free). They will receive a secure link to join the seminar before it begins. \n• Individual classes will be recorded and made available to stream (not download) for the duration of the seminar by its participants\, so they are able to review them or make up missed ones. \nRegister Here.

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
