SUMMARY:Roots of Resilience Webinar: Fighting the EAB Impact on Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Roots of Resilience: Fighting the EAB Impact on Wetlands\nMay 20  \n12:00PM-01:30PM \nEmerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis) is causing widespread mortality of black ash (Fraxinus nigra) trees in the western Great Lakes region\, threatening forest ecosystems and biodiversity. To assess the impacts\, researchers studied black ash wetlands in northern Minnesota\, documenting wildlife species\, including birds\, mammals\, and amphibians. Experimental simulations of EAB-related tree loss revealed significant changes in forest structure and hydrology\, influencing wildlife communities. Findings emphasize the need for management strategies that promote alternative tree species to maintain habitat complexity and support biodiversity. Integrating ecological\, hydrological\, and cultural perspectives will be key to conserving these vital ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Don't Move Firewood Emotional versus Objective Language Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Move Firewood Social Media Message Frame Testing: Emotional versus Objective Language\nMay 19  \n02:00PM-03:30PM  \n\n\nEffective communication on invasive species is crucial for generating awareness and reducing further anthropogenic spread of forest pest and pathogens like EAB. Message frames in invasion biology have evolved as outreach efforts shift away from using potentially problematic metaphors to more ethically conscious language. We at Don’t Move Firewood tested two types of socially responsible message frames on Facebook: one with values-based\, emotional and protective language against one with objective\, fact-based language to determine if there were any differences in engagement.

SUMMARY:Impacts and Management of Emerald Ash Borer Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Impacts and Management of Emerald Ash Borer Webinar\nMay 19  \n12:00PM-01:30PM  \nThe emerald ash borer has killed billions of ash trees in cities and forests across the US and Canada. Several ash species in our region inhabit different types of forests and play important ecological roles. The results of 20 years of monitoring the impacts of emerald ash borer on ash populations and forest ecosystems show the ways this invasive pest has changed our forests. Management actions can be used in situation-specific combinations to mitigate the impacts of EAB\, preserve ash species\, and restore forest function. \n
