SUMMARY:Spotted Lanternfly Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 17th at the Ojibway Nature Centre (5200 Matchett Road\, Windsor) for a workshop on spotted lanternfly\, a novel invasive insect that poses significant threats to horticulture\, forestry\, and the natural environment. Participants will learn about spotted lanternfly’s impacts\, how it spreads\, and how they can detect and prevent it.\n\n\nThere will be two workshop sessions on Monday November 17th with the first session in the morning from 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and the second session from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Participants are asked to register for ONE of the two sessions through the registration links below.\n\n\nTo register for the morning session (9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.) please use the following link: https://bit.ly/43EcTX2\n\nTo register for the evening session (6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.) please use the following link: https://bit.ly/4oGh5O3\n\n\nThese workshops are open to grape and tender fruit growers\, vineyard\, nursery\, and woodlot owners and managers\, arborists\, landscapers\, government and conservation authority staff\, students\, gardeners\, and members of the public.\n\nLight refreshments will be served and eligibility for CEUs for certified arborists and certified crop advisors is pending.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection: Smart Traps\, Drones\, and Machine Learning in Action
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Melissa Miller from the University of Florida will present her work on developing AI-powered smart traps designed to detect and remove invasive tegu lizards—large\, fast-moving reptiles that threaten native wildlife and agriculture in the southeastern U.S. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller from the University of Exeter will share his team’s research on using deep learning models to detect invasive hornets in real time\, offering critical insights for rapid response and containment. Representing Ducks Unlimited Canada\, Matthew Bolding and Mallory Carpenter will discuss their efforts to integrate drone technology and AI to monitor populations of European water chestnut\, a fast-spreading aquatic invasive plant impacting wetland biodiversity and water quality. \nThis webinar will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation.
