SUMMARY:Webinar: Transforming the Problem: Using Invasive Species for Art\, Craft and Woodworking
DESCRIPTION:From buckthorn to dog-strangling vine and phragmites\, we’ll explore a few different ways to turn invasive species into art supplies. Artist and maker Kate Hayday will share a few projects she’s made using the invasive species found in her forest as raw materials. Needlefelting\, natural inks and dyes\, automata\, and sturdy basket handles\, this talk is all about finding beauty in unexpected places.

SUMMARY:Insects and Climate Change Education Day
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a concern across the Commonwealth. While many communities prepare by discussing improvements to infrastructure and disaster preparedness\, managed and natural landscapes will demand attention too. We will highlight some of the manifestations of climate change\, plant responses to those changes (trees and shrubs) and the interplay with insects (including pests). \nLearn how: \n\nInsect populations fluctuate in response to climate change.\nClimate change affects the functioning & composition of our forests.\nUrban heat islands and climate change increase urban tree stress & increase pest insect fitness (scale insects).\nTo be better prepared to predict and manage insect pest outbreaks caused by warming temperatures.
