Virtual Python Patrol

 Every third Thursday of the month, 7pm-8pm EST: Virtual Python Patrol, a no-cost training program that aims to create a network of individuals throughout south Florida who know how to identify Burmese pythons and report sightings, as well as search for, safely capture and humanely kill these invasive constrictors.  These trainings are open and available to the public. No prior snake handling experience is required.  Have a question? Contact us at PythonChallenge@MyFWC.com

Managing Prairie Ecosystems and Recovering Species – A Case Study on Collaborations and Partnerships from Joint Base Lewis-McChord

 

Managing Prairie Ecosystems and Recovering Species – A Case Study on Collaborations and Partnerships from Joint Base Lewis-McChord

 

Thursday, October 3, 2024 (1:00 PM-2:00 PM ET)

Presented by Dan Calvert, Joint Base Lewis-McChord Sentinel Landscapes Partnership Coordinator

 

Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) encompasses the largest remaining intact tract of glacial outwash prairies in the Pacific Northwest. These prairies, one of the rarest ecosystems in the United States, support a host of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species. The presence of the ESA-listed prairie species on JBLM creates mandatory and costly habitat management and population monitoring requirements that can limit critical open training lands flexibility. This presentation provides an overview of partnerships and collaborative efforts advancing ESA species management and recovery on- and off-base. It will highlight the development and application of a Conservation Crediting Biological Opinion and the role of the JBLM Sentinel Landscape.

 

Please note this webinar will be held through Microsoft Teams.

new blogs look at new fungal strain attacking Hawai`i's most widespread tree

Hello!
today's blog looks at the threat to Hawai`i's unique forests by non-native insects and diseases, especially the new strain of Ceratocytus fimbriata on `ohi`a trees on the Big Island.  This pathogen raises - again! - the problem of managing pests/pathogens that are unknown until they begin to kill.

This blog is posted at www.cisp.us
