SUMMARY:Managing Interference to Forest Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Come to Cornell’s Arnot Forest on September 30, 2016 for
  a day-long workshop that will (i) provide foresters and woodland owne
 rs information about the ecological role of American beech (and other 
 interfering vegetation) and deer in limiting forest regeneration, and 
 (ii) review herbicide, organic and fence management strategies to ensu
 re effective regeneration. This workshop will help participants unders
 tand the ecological principles that underlie the complications of fore
 st regeneration, especially the interaction of deer and interfering pl
 ants.  Management strategies that limit exposure to deer impacts may 
 reduce the need for herbicidal control of beech, and without deer cont
 rol more vegetative control may be necessary. Addressing neither of th
 ese issues in a practical and viable manner will likely result in a fa
 iled attempt to regenerate an acceptable new stand.\n \nDeer browsing
  interacts with interfering and invasive plants to complicate the mana
 gement of woodlands for owners and foresters.  Deer preferentially br
 owse desired species and avoid browsing undesirable interfering plants
  such as beech, fern, black birch and striped maple that constrain for
 est regeneration. These species can shade desirable species, slowing t
 heir growth and making them more vulnerable to deer browsing.  Succes
 sful regeneration requires some combination of controlling the impacts
  of deer, limiting the abundance of interfering plants, and using sust
 ainable silvicultural practices.\n \nThe workshop will mix classroom 
 and field lectures with presentations by Dr. Paul Curtis, Dr. Peter Sm
 allidge, Brett Chedzoy and Kristi Sullivan. Registration starts at 9:0
 0AM with light refreshments, and the workshop starts promptly t 10:00A
 M.  Final session concludes at 4:20PM. Bring a bag lunch.  Bottled w
 ater will be provided. Visits to field sites will be by carpooling.  
 Field stops will include limited but quick walking on level terrain re
 gardless of the weather.  Pre-registration is required and is $20.  
 Online registration closes September 28.  Visit https://cornell.qualt
 rics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8J5G74551tVLlc1\n\nThis workshop has been approved
  by NYSDEC Bureau of Pest Management (Pesticide Certification) for 3.7
 5 credits in category 2 (Forest).  Participants desiring pesticide re
 certification credits must bring the pesticide card and should arrive 
 by 9:30AM.  This workshop is pending approval by the Society of Ameri
 can Forests for CFE credits. \n\nFor more information visit https://c
