Invasive Pests - ALB and EAB
Every August\, anticipation and concern rise in fear that this will be the year one of the infamous invasive beetles will be found among the t rees of Rhode Island. The beetles in question are the Asian Longhorned Bee tle and Emerald Ash Borer. Although we have not found these beetles in Rho de Island\, they are still a threat. In the past year\, the Emerald Ash Bo rer has been found in western Connecticut and Massachusetts\, and in the C oncord\, New Hampshire area. \;The Asian Longhorned Beetle is still an ongoing problem for the City of Worcester\, just a relatively few miles n orth of our heavily forested northern state line.
\nWe hope to remin d everyone to keep a lookout for these pests and report any signs or insec t sightings. If possible\, please capture a beetle and take a photo for id entification. Please report sightings to the Rhode Island Department of En vironmental Management at 401-222-2781 or use the State&rsquo\;s reporting website: https://www.ri.gov/DEM/cap s. You can also find detailed information and report your findings at http://as ianlonghornedbeetle.com/report-your-findings/. \;
\nThe RI D EM will be conducting surveys in August\, 2013\, and is looking for volunt eers to help out with the surveys. \; Information sessions are being h eld in Exeter and at URI in late July. \; For more information\, to at tend an information session and/or to volunteer\, please contact Cynthia K wolek by phone at 401-949-1770 or email cynthia.kwolek@dem.ri.gov.

The RI Forest Conservator&rsquo\;s Organization is conducting its an
nual Summer Twilight Woods Walk at the Derbyshire woodlot in Foster\, RI.&
nbsp\;The Derbyshire woodlot is located at 16-A Salisbury Road\, which is
south of Central Pike\, and abuts the historic and now preserved Borders F
arm.
The Derbyshire woodlot includes some historic sites (cemet
ery\, cellar hole)\, a well-developed forest trail system\, a pond on Heml
ock Brook\, and has seen some improvement harvesting in the past. \;Wi
th the presence of the adjacent open fields to the south\, recent storms h
ave led to damaged and toppled trees in the southern portion of the proper
ty. \;Are these good habitat trees?? \;Or should they be salvaged
for any wood value and the woodlot cleaned up?? \;Has nature provided
sufficient numbers of standing dead snags?? \;We&rsquo\;ll tally exist
ing snags\, assess the numbers\, and look at the options for enhancing wil
dlife habitat conditions by creating standing dead snags\, if needed.
The program is free of charge\, and there is no need to register.&n

A Workshop for Farmers &\; Woodl and Owners

and farmland for the future?
Do you want your heirs to be able to man
age its resources?
To harvest wood and crops\, and still own the land
?
Then you should attend this upcoming workshop!
All are invited to Eastern RI Conservation District's Residential Stormwater Education Program. Generally speaking\, stormwater is rain (also melting snow and ice) that washes off driveways\, parking lots\, roads yards\, rooftops and other hard surfaces. It runs of f across the land\, bringing pollutants into our water system\, instead of seeping into the ground. Please come learn how we can help to change this in our own living environment.

The evening will fea ture a review of the RI DEM’s recent harvesting activities at the former P ratt Farm off of Summit Road\, including some habitat activities and thinn ing of pine stands to limit the impacts of some pine needle-cast diseases. Our guests will include Dr. Jim Brown\, formerly of the University of RI\ , and Will Walker of the RI DEM’s Division of Forest Environment. White pi ne is an iconic New England resource with deep roots in Colonial history a nd of great importance in our local wood economy. There are a number of na tive insects and diseases that feed on or attack pine trees\, and recently there has been an increase in the decline and mortality of pines from sev eral fungal pathogens. They cause browning of needles\, with entire branch es\, saplings\, and even mature trees to die from the death of these needl es. We’ll review the known extents of this condition\, what has been leadi ng up to the increase of its presence and the death of individual trees an d decline of entire forests of pine. The experience of Dr. Jim Brown and o ther foresters who have been working with the pine resource should shed so me light on how we can better manage our White pine forests to limit the i mpacts from these naturally-occurring diseases. The Pratt Farm\, which is located about one mile south of Route 165 (Ten Rod Road) on Summit Road\, is jointly managed by the RI DEM’s Division of Forest Environment and the Division of Fish and Wildlife. A recent (2020) harvest in the pine stands there included some selective harvesting and a pine overstory removal proj ect. There are open fields that are stocked with game birds on site\, and a good road for us to walk through. Both thinned and un-thinned pine stand s are present to help us visualize how our own pine stands could be manage d to help minimize disease problems.

Th e availability of funding for the purchase of conservation easements of fo rest land through the RI Forest Health Works Project will be explained by Kate Sayles of the RI Land Trust Council and Marina Capraro of the Norther n RI Conservation District. There will also be a panel of landowners who w ill share their experience with this process\, including West Greenwich To wn Manager Kevin Breene.

No registrati on is necessary. Questions: (401) 568-3410 PRINT FLYER The RI Forest Conse rvator’s Organization is conducting its annual Summer Twilight Woods Walk at the site of a research project being set up at the Hillsdale Preserve i n Richmond\, RI on Thursday\, August 8\, 2024\, from 6 to 8 pm. The evenin g hike will feature a walk through the study area off Old Mountain Road\, led by Christopher Riely\, URI Natural Resources Research Associate and Ex tension forester\, for a look at ways RI’s forests can be made more resili ent to the impacts of climate change. The Adaptive Silviculture for Climat e Change (ASCC) project is a collaborative effort to establish a series of experimental silvicultural trials across a network of different forest ec osystem types throughout the United States and Canada. According to Mr. Ri ely\, “The Hillsdale Preserve is the location of the ASCC study site in Rh ode Island. It is dominated by oak-hickory forest and is experiencing fore st health issues exacerbated by climate stress.” On 40 acres\, three diffe rent types of forest management treatments are being implemented. The resu lts of the three treatments (as well as an unmanaged no-action control) wi ll be compared to determine the effectiveness of each approach. Researcher s are conducting annual monitoring to analyze how forest conditions change .

T he RI Forest Conservator&rsquo\;s Organization is conducting its annual Su mmer Twilight Woods Walk at the site of a research project being set up at the Hillsdale Preserve in Richmond\, RI on Thursday\, August 8\, 2024\, f rom 6 to 8 pm. The evening hike will feature a walk through the study area off Old Mountain Road\, led by Christopher Riely\, URI Natural Resources Research Associate and Extension forester\, for a look at ways RI&rsquo\;s forests can be made more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
The Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) project is a colla borative effort to establish a series of experimental silvicultural trials across a network of different forest ecosystem types throughout the Unite d States and Canada.
According to Mr. Riely\, &ldquo\;The Hillsdal e Preserve is the location of the ASCC study site in Rhode Island. It is d ominated by oak-hickory forest and is experiencing forest health issues ex acerbated by climate stress.&rdquo\; On 40 acres\, three different types o f forest management treatments are being implemented. The results of the t hree treatments (as well as an unmanaged no-action control) will be compar ed to determine the effectiveness of each approach.
Researchers ar e conducting annual monitoring to analyze how forest conditions change. To implement the initial treatments\, a timber harvest and then tree plantin g were carried out over the winter and spring of 2023-24.
