SUMMARY:Basic identification of grasses: A 2-day short course
DESCRIPTION:The Basic Identification of Grasses two-day short course covers the unique taxonomy of about 50 different grasses and grass-like plant genera. This class is for beginner through intermediate agrostologists and will include basic terminology\, dissection\, and use of a dichotomous key for identification. You will also learn how to collect and press grasses for future reference or for the purpose of mailing to others for identification/verification. The class may be taken for 1 unit of optional credit at the University of Nevada\, Reno (UNR). \nWhen: Class will be March 23-24\, 2026\, from 8 am – 5 pm with a one-hour lunch break. \nWhere: Room 300G\, Fleischman Agriculture\, University of Nevada\, Reno \nHow: Sign up by contacting the instructor\, Arnold (Jerry) Tiehm\, atiehm@unr.edu \nCost: $170 for non-students\, $90 for students. Bring a check (made to Board of Regents) to the first day of class. \nDetails: View the course flyer.

SUMMARY:JFSP Fire and Fire Surrogate studies and SageSTEP: The benefits of long-term fire research
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nWebinar flyer. \n​Summary. The goal of this webinar is to take an in‑depth look at two of the most influential long‑term fire research efforts supported by the Joint Fire Science Program: the Fire and Fire Surrogate (FFS) Study and the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP). These landmark studies provide rare\, decades‑long insights into how different fuel treatments and fire management strategies shape ecosystem resilience\, fuel dynamics\, vegetation structure\, and wildlife habitat. \nIn this webinar\, we​ will highlight why long-term research sites are ​integral in understanding ecosystem response and for informing ​management decisions today. \n​We will explore key findings from several FFS locations – Blodgett Forest Research Station (CA)\, Lubrecht Experimental Forest (MT)\, Green River Game Land (NC)\, and Ohio Hills (OH)—as well as the network of SageSTEP sites across the sagebrush biome. \nAgenda (10 min presentations\, followed by Q & A):\nIntroduction to JFSP\, FSEN\, the Fire and Fire Surrogate Study\, and the SageSTEP Project Molly Hunter\, Joint Fire Science Program \nGreen River Game Land Study Site Don Hagan\, Clemson University \nOhio Hills Study Site Bryce Adams\, Northern Research Station\, USDA Forest Service \nLubrecht Experimental Forest Study Site Sharon Hood\, Rocky Mountain Research Station\, USDA Forest Service \nBlodgett Forest Research Station Study Site Scott Stephens\, University of California – Berkeley \nSageSTEP Project Lisa Ellsworth\, Oregon State University and Beth Newingham\, Agricultural Research Service \nOverarching Themes/Q & A

SUMMARY:North American Congress for People and Nature
DESCRIPTION:Conference website. \nThis year’s event will be co-hosted by the North American Congress for Conservation and Restoration (NACCR) 2026 with the Society for Ecological Restoration and the SER Midwest-Great Lakes Chapter from July 12-16\, 2026 in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin! A combination of NACCB and SER’s “North American Conference\,” this joint conference offers an opportunity for both societies to learn from each other and create a unique network-building event for our North American members. \nMilwaukee\, Wisconsin\, provides a fitting backdrop for NACCR 2026. Nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan\, Milwaukee embodies the intersection of urban and natural landscapes. The city’s commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its innovative water management initiatives\, restoration of native habitats\, and strong community-driven conservation efforts. As a hub of ecological research and sustainability\, Milwaukee offers a rich platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities of restoring and conserving ecosystems in ways that benefit both biodiversity and human well-being.
