SUMMARY:Maine Audubon's Everything Ash Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Preparing for the Emerald Ash Borer: Announcing our spring webinar series \n \nAnnouncing Maine Audubon’s Spring 2025 Webinar Series: Preparing for EAB \nSince the earliest documented occurrences of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Maine in 2013\, Maine Audubon has been working with federal\, state\, and municipal forestry staff\, as well as with indigenous scholars\, cultural knowledge sharers\, and basketmakers to better understand and plan our response to the ecological\, cultural\, and economic threats this invasive insect poses for the three species of Ash (Fraxinus spp.) native to Maine. \nDuring May and June\, Maine Audubon and partners will host a four-part series of evening webinars\, each of which will focus on a specific aspect of the looming EAB crisis. Leaders from government\, research\, and cultural organizations will educate and inspire us about ash trees and what can be done to conserve them. The webinars will take place at 6 pm on select Thursdays. \nRegister for these free webinars: \nMay 8: Allison Kanoti\, MFS – Impacts and response in Maine\nMaine Forest Service entomologist Allison Kanoti will introduce us to the importance of Fraxinus (all three species) to forests\, developed landscapes\, and the economy. Allison will also cover the history of EAB presence and impacts in Maine to date\, the state response\, and how we all can get involved to help.  Register > \nMay 22: Tony D’Amato\, University of Vermont—Benefits and ecosystem services of Ash\nTony D’Amato is a regionally esteemed forest ecologist who will share the natural history of Fraxinus and present for us the innumerable benefits of having Ash in our forests and in our neighborhoods. Register > \nJune 5: APCAW panel—Cultural importance of Ash\, multicultural response to EAB\nA panel of Wabanaki and non-Wabanaki researchers at the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Waponahkik lab will share and discuss the benefits of a blended\, multicultural approach to protecting our ash\, as well as how people can get involved to support this work. Register > \nJune 12: Theresa Secord—Honoring basketmakers\, MIBA\, and our shared cultural heritage\nTheresa Secord is a traditional Penobscot basket maker and the founding director of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance (MIBA).
