SUMMARY:River Critters and Pond Pals – Stream Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever seen a dragonfly in the winter? How about a mayfly? Where do these animals go once it turns cold\, and where do they come from when it starts to warm up? Freshwater macroinvertebrates can tell us many important features about their habitat. They are storytellers about the health of the ecosystem. Are there pollutants in the water? Let’s ask the leeches. Do these waters support lots of species? Let’s ask the caddisfly. \nJoin HAWK and Dr. Erika Young\, the Coastal and Marine Education Specialist for North Carolina Sea Grant\, for a special hands-on stream exploration opportunity for kids followed by a pizza dinner! Please register now as spots are limited! There will be many specimens to observe\, a scientific key to identify species\, and a game to match the larval form to the adult form. Registration is required for this evening of adventurous fun at the Matthews Community Center. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Virtual Forum: Baseline Conditions and Success Rates of Natural and Nature-Based Features
DESCRIPTION:Join New York Sea Grant and the Science and Resilience Institute at Jamaica Bay in their second of three virtual forums. The primary goal of these forums is to address knowledge gaps Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) stakeholders (researchers\, policymakers\, and practitioners) have identified in a recent workshop pertaining to the implementation and management of Nature Based Solutions in New York State. It was found that baseline conditions for the evaluation of NNBF projects\, and success rates (and failures) of projects\, were two of the primary knowledge gaps they experienced. To be one step closer to addressing these gaps\, event organizers have invited experts in the field to present case studies from their own work\, on how they’ve managed to tackle these problems. Be prepared for discussions on NNBF projects\, networking\, and plenty of time to ask questions and discuss with our experts. \nSpeakers: Dr. Bret Webb (University of South Alabama)\, Dr. Chester Zarnoch (CUNY Baruch)\, Dr. Mariko Polk (North Carolina Sea Grant)\, and Dr. Joel Fodrie (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) \nSign up now at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqcO2oqT0qGtXG2g-rmVOeIse9MxCBCwJ-

SUMMARY:NCWRA Winter Forum: Wetland Protections in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will summarize the recent US Supreme Court’s Sackett decision which narrowed the extent of the Clean Water Act\, notably for the Section 404 Permitting portion of the Act implemented primarily by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Local examples of the impact of the decision will be discussed to illustrate the effect of the decision.  Three basic summaries of the implications of the decision in N.C. will be addressed in the context of the regulatory extent of wetlands from least to moderate to the largest potential impact on the extent of wetlands regulated across the state. Finally\, the overall environmental implications of the Sackett decision as well as the parallel decision by the NC Legislature will be addressed. \nContinuing Education Credits:  This forum will provide 1 PDH (professional development hour) credit upon completion of registration and evaluations that will be sent with the final event information. Each professional must determine if the content is relevant to his/her individual practice and suitable for his/her continuing education. \n$30.00 Member Registration\n($5.00 Late fee) \n$40.00 Non-Member Registration\n($5.00 Late fee) \n$15.00 Student Member Registration \n$350.00 Luncheon Sponsor \n$150.00 Luncheon Dessert/Coffee Sponsor \n$250.00 Social Sponsor \n$30.00 Webinar (Live Luncheon)\n($5.00 Late fee) \n$40.00 Webinar Non-member\n($5.00 Late fee) \n$100.00 Group Webinar Registration\n($10.00 Late fee) \n$35.00 Member Plus Bring a Friend Registration\n($5.00 Late fee) \nRegister before Friday\, Nov. 17 to avoid late fees.

SUMMARY:NC Bradford Pear Bounty Tree Exchange

Before and after pictures of the Bradford Pear trees you cut down must be shown to organizers at the pick-up to receive replacement trees. \nA total of 200 native trees will be available on a first come\, first served basis in three-gallon pots\, while supplies last. Some examples of native trees that have been distributed in the past include redbud\, serviceberry\, black cherry and white oak. Please note that this program is geared toward homeowners/landowners. Trees should never be removed from property without the owner’s permission.
