SUMMARY:Historical range of variability (HRV): Uses and various approaches
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Range of Variability (ROV) concepts – including Natural (NRV)\, Historic (HRV)\, Current (CRV)\, and Future (FRV) – are frequently used by the US Forest Service to help define land management goals. This webinar provides an introduction to ROV terminology and examples of how the Malheur\, Umatilla\, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests in the Blue Mountains have applied ROV concepts during project planning when addressing key requirements of the Eastside Screens. The discussion includes overviews of tools commonly used to conduct ROV analyses. \nPresenter: Nathan Poage\, Forest Service Ecologist\,

SUMMARY:Aspen ecology and conservation: The changing landscape of a keystone system
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar presentation lays the groundwork for an in-depth symposium at the upcoming 2020 Natural Areas Conference that will address wildfire\, herbivory\, climate warming\, development pressures\, cross-boundary management\, and regional monitoring of aspen in the Western United States.

SUMMARY:Low-tech wet meadow restoration: Reading the landscape
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWet or mesic meadows are rare but disproportionately important habitats within western rangelands. Gully erosion and channel incision are widespread problems reducing natural resiliency and water storage capacity\, which is impacting wildlife and working lands. Simple\, low-tech restoration methods using sticks and stones provide effective tools for protecting and restoring meadow systems. While there is no shortage of degraded areas that need help across the West\, there is a shortage of time and money to address them. In this webinar\, Jeremy and Shawn will introduce participants to how to use Bill Zeedyk’s principles of “Reading the Landscape and Thinking like Water” to recognize and prioritize meadow restoration.

SUMMARY:Toolkit for invasive annual grass management in the West
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: The Western Governors’ Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, under a Shared Stewardship Memorandum of Understanding\, have been collaborating on efforts to meaningfully address the large-scale infestation of invasive annual grasses on western forests and rangelands. The result of this effort is a new toolkit for land managers to address the spread of invasive annual grasses in the West\, including species such as cheatgrass\, medusahead\, and ventanata. \nThe toolkit is comprised of three elements: \n\nA roadmap for invasive grass management in the West\, with new best management practices for the identification and protection of relatively intact “core” areas;Case studies highlighting the application of these practices in Idaho and Wyoming; and\nA new geospatial data layer to help state and local officials manage invasive annual grasses at home\, while also offering opportunities to identify new cross-boundary collaborative projects.\n\nPresenters: Lindy Garner\, Sagebrush Ecosystem Invasive Species Coordinator\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Jeremy Maestas\, Ecologist/National Sagebrush Ecosystem Specialist\, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; Brian A. Mealor\, Director and Associate Professor\, University of Wyoming Sheridan Research and Extension Center; Brian A. Rutledge\, Director\, Sagebrush Ecosystem Initiative\, The National Audubon Society

SUMMARY:North American Congress for Conservation Biology
DESCRIPTION:Visit conference website. \nThe North American Congress for Conservation Biology (NACCB) was July 26 to 31\, 2020 in Denver\, Colorado. NACCB 2020 organizers and the Society for Conservation Biology North America have made the decision to include a comprehensive virtual component to the conference\, with the potential for a hybrid in-person/virtual event in Denver\, depending on recommendations from health experts prior to registration re-opening in June. This year’s theme is: Crossing Boundaries: Innovative Approaches to Conservation.

SUMMARY:Evaluating native seed mixes for post-fire seeding the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Post-fire seeding has been widely implemented in the Great Basin in response to the threat of resource degradation and weed invasion following fire disturbance. The longstanding practice of seeding non-native forage grasses has worked well for some purposes\, but seeding native species is a more sensible choice if natural vegetation recovery is a long-term objective. Seeding natives raises questions of cost\, establishment ability and whether native species will be as effective as non-natives in outcompeting invasive annuals. We consider these issues in the context of a study where outcomes of native and non-native seed mixes were compared during an 18-year timeframe following wildfire. Successional trajectories of seeded treatments were compared with unseeded controls and late-successional reference communities to assess restoration potential of treatment options. \nPresenters: Francis Kilkenny\, Research Biologist\, USDA Forest Service and Jeff Ott\, Research Biologist\, USDA Forest Service.
