SUMMARY:NAISMA Monthly Webinar: Quagga mussel response in the Snake River\, Idaho
DESCRIPTION:Join us for NAISMA’s February Monthly Webinar on 2/21! \n\n\n\nIn September 2023\, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of quagga mussel in the Mid-Snake River near Twin Falls. These findings marked the first time a rapid response plan had been put into action for quagga mussels in Idaho. This plan has included notifying impacted entities\, implementing containment measures\, conducting delimiting surveys\, applying copper-based treatments\, and conducting post-treatment surveys. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Nic Zurfluh\, Bureau Chief – Invasive Species\, Noxious Weeds\, Range\, Idaho State Department of Agriculture

SUMMARY:NISAW Webinar: Opportunities and Challenges for Preventing the Next Plant Invasion
DESCRIPTION:In the past 50 years\, the number of non-native species introduced outside their native range has doubled\, leading to substantial negative ecological and socioeconomic impacts. This is a problem that will persist as species introductions continue to rise and impacts are intensified by climate change and other drivers of change. It is well-established that economic returns on investment in prevention and eradication far outweigh those for containment and maintenance control management strategies\, but investment in prevention is still much less than what is spent on management. Weed risk assessment is a method to preemptively screen species before they are introduced to a new area (or as early as possible). It is based on the idea that species traits can be used to predict the success (or failure) of a species at passing through the stages of invasion and spread. In this presentation\, we will discuss different approaches to risk assessment\, how results are applied\, some of the benefits and costs of this process\, and the future of risk assessment to prevent continued plant invasions. \n\n\n\nPresented by Deah Lieurance\, Assistant Professor of Invasive Species Biology and Management at Penn State University\, and Theresa Culley\, Professor of Plant Ecology and past Head of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati

SUMMARY:Invasive Plant Removal Workday
DESCRIPTION:SGPA’s Environmental Stewardship Committee helps to steward the park by removing invasive\, non-native species (learn more\, HERE). You can lend a hand to this important effort by joining as a volunteer. Projects will vary by week\, but generally include pulling\, cutting\, and otherwise removing invasive plants from around the park. \n\n\n\nThose looking for lighter work can assist by tending to the pollinator garden. This important oasis for pollinators needs to be weeded and watered throughout the growing season. \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to join\, please meet at the main entrance of the park near the Ranger Shed by 9:30am. From there\, we will move to specific work areas around the park\, and conclude work at approximately 11:30am. \n\n\n\nSGPA will supply any tools or equipment needed\, and will provide training and oversight. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes\, dress appropriately for the weather\, and bring work gloves and water. \n\n\n\nInclement weather cancels this workday.
