SUMMARY:Maine Woodland Owners APCAW webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight efforts to preserve brown ash (Fraxinus nigra)\, a tree that is both ecologically important and culturally central to Wabanaki communities\, as the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB) continues to spread across Maine. Presenters will discuss collaborative work led by the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Waponahkik (APCAW) at the 91±¬ÁÏ and Tribal partners to document genetic diversity in brown ash populations\, collect and store seed for long-term conservation\, and harvest basket-quality trees before widespread mortality occurs. The session will also explore how these efforts support both ecological resilience and the continuation of Wabanaki basketmaking traditions\, and how landowners can participate by helping identify brown ash stands for sampling\, seed collection\, and harvest.\n\nRegister here

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to participate in one or both upcoming events (space is limited for our in-person tour)! Each event is approved for 1 SAF Continuing Education Credit.  \nWebinar Event: The Silviculture of Ash Stewardship in the Northeast\, April 2nd\, 12:00-1:00 p.m. \nSAP-Ne Demonstration Site Field Tour: Bud Leavitt Wildlife Management Area\, April 16th\, 9:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m.  Register at the link above.   \nThis series is organized by the Sustaining Ash Partners Network (SAP-Ne)\, a regional network that aims to amplify ongoing efforts to sustain ash by supporting landscape level stewardship\, sharing stories of hope for ash preservation\, and uplifting the cultural significance of ash among Indigenous peoples. The Sustaining Ash Partners Network is supported by the USDA Forest Service Landscape Scale Restoration program.
