Cavity-nesting Wildlife 1.5 ISA ... @ Home or Office

Oct 6 @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am

Fungi, fire, windstorms, lightning, and disease all damage our trees but are important factors in the lives of wildlife species that need the resulting cracks, hollows, cavities, and slabs of loose bark. We will look at a selection of vertebrates that happily thrive in wounded and diseased trees and are dependent on them. Instructor Description: Helen Snyder is a retired wildlife biologist living in Portal, AZ and is currently practicing as a real estate broker for conservation buyers and non-profit entities interested in preserving intact habitats. CEUs: 1.5 – ISA CEUs *Please allow up to 6 weeks for processing CEU information will be collected in SurveyMonkey – a link will be sent at the end of the program. If you don’t receive the link, please contact our office info@wcisa.net

CRB Treatments Webinar @ Zoom Webinar

Oct 7 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

1 RUP CEU available Particularly in high-catch areas, coconut rhinoceros beetle populations will continue to spread unless treatments are applied to their breeding material or food sources. In this hour-long webinar, you’ll learn about approved treatment methods for CRB, including identification of appropriate sites and treatment protocol. We’ll cover topics like: Identifying coconut rhinoceros beetle threats, impacts, and reporting information Host species of coconut rhinoceros beetle Determining potential breeding sites for CRB and treatment protocol (if applicable) Recognizing potential areas for palm treatments and sharing relevant information with the CRB Response Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) has approved this course to provide CEUs (1 unit) for licensed pesticide applicators in the following categories: Pvt. 1, Com. Cat. 1A, Com. Cat. 3, Com. Cat 10. CEUs from the Western Chapter ISA are pending. This webinar will conclude with a 10-question quiz, so have your Certification Number handy!

Pollinator Protection & IPM Prac... @ Home or Office

Nov 3 @ 8:00 am – 9:00 am

Insects that visit flowers and contribute to plant pollination interact with a wide range of native and horticultural plant species. Their biology and ecology are sensitive to a number of seasonal changes and other environmental features including flower availability, nesting habitat, and disease. In addition, pollinators may be particularly vulnerable to a number of pest practices used in urban and agricultural settings due to their shared biology. This talk will be divided into three sections. The first section will review native pollinator diversity, biology, and ecology, highlighting their importance in the landscape and the most sensitive features of their life cycle. The second part of the talk will discuss how various pest management practices affect pollinators, including the use of particular pesticides as well as other practices used to control plant and animal pests. The third part of the talk will focus on plant species and planting design features that can help create quality pollinator habitat. At the end of this talk attendees should have a familiarity with native pollinator ecology...
