SUMMARY:CFRU Webinar: Considering Bats in Forest Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will begin with an overview by Dr. Erik Blomberg (University of Maine) of the ecology of tri-colored bats and their status as a species that has been recently petitioned for listing through the Endangered Species Act. Dr. Blomberg will also discuss a previous CFRU-funded project on the ecology of northern long-eared bats in Maine commercial forests. \nAfter this talk\, adjunct faculty member Michael Thompson (University of Maine School of Forest Resources)\, will speak on the role of forest certification in bat conservation. Landowners in Maine who are certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative or the Forest Stewardship Council must consider the impact of forest management on wildlife\, including bats\, with additional emphasis placed on conserving habitats for rare\, threatened\, and endangered species. This brief presentation will cover the obligations of certified landowners regarding conserving important wildlife habitats with more specific details regarding what to expect concerning bats during annual certification audits. \nThere will be time for questions following their presentations. \nWende Mahaney of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, the Maine Field Office expert on bats\, will introduce herself and be available to address questions as well. \nThis webinar will be held on November 14th\, 2018 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. EST using Zoom web conferencing software. This webinar is open to the public. \nPlease click on this link to register for this webinar \nSPACE IS LIMITED\, so please sign up early! \nThis webinar is pending approval for 1 Category 1 CFE credit through the Society of American Foresters. \nWebinar Program \n1:00 – Welcome (CFRU)\, then Bat Ecology in Maine Commercial Forests (Erik Blomberg) \n1:25 – Forest Certification’s Role in Bat Conservation (Michael Thompson) \n1:50 – Q & A with Erik\, Michael\, and Wende\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing Zoom \nPlease register for this webinar ahead of time using the link provided above. \nWhen joining the meeting\, you will be prompted to download Zoom launcher.
