SUMMARY:The Evolution of Wetland Seed Mixes\, Revegetation and Management
DESCRIPTION:The recorded presentation is available on the Video page. \nPresenter: Dan Shaw – Sr. Ecologist & Vegetation Specialist\, MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) \nProgram: The Evolution of Wetland Seed Mixes\, Revegetation and Management \nDescription: Minnesota’s wetland plant communities are changing due to climate change\, development\, increased nutrients\, and invasive species. These impacts are contributing to declining pollinator\, bird\, and other wildlife populations\, and decreasing wetland functions. Fortunately\, the conservation community in Minnesota has been actively addressing challenges and pursuing new strategies for restoring and managing wetlands and other aquatic systems. This presentation will cover emerging methods for seed mix design\, site preparation\, seeding\, and wetland management; and we’ll discuss future challenges for wetlands and needs for further study and innovation. \nBiography: Dan Shaw is the Senior Ecologist and Vegetation Specialist with the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Over the last 30 years his work has focused on plant community restoration\, climate mitigation and adaptation\, rare species protection\, invasive species control and building conservation partnerships. He has also taught ecological design and restoration classes at the University of Minnesota for the past 25 years and authored or co-authored several books on native plants and restoration.

SUMMARY:Spruce Budworm and Minnesota's Spruce-Fir Forests
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will be on-line through Zoom only. MNNPS members\, check your email for instructions. \nThursday\, October 15 7:00 PM. \nPresenter: Eric Otto – Forest Health Specialist\, MN Dept. of Natural Resources \nDescription: The eastern spruce budworm is a native caterpillar and currently one of the most destructive forest health issues in Minnesota. It has impacted an extensive amount of our spruce-fir forests historically and in recent years\, primarily in northeast Minnesota. This presentation will discuss the identification\, biology\, history\, impacts\, and the work currently being undertaken to manage for spruce budworm. \nBiography: Eric Otto works as a forest health specialist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources covering northeast Minnesota. He works on multiple insect and disease issues impacting tree and forest health in that region. He previously volunteered for the Peace Corps in Ghana working in agriculture\, and has also worked seasonal forestry positions in Minnesota\, Wyoming\, and Maine. He holds a Ph.D. in plant pathology and a B.S. in forest resources\, both from the University of Minnesota.
