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.

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...
