SUMMARY:Hemlock Conservation Webinar Series: Silviculture Strategies to Help Prepare & Adapt your Woodland for HWA
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will focus on silviculture strategies that help woodland stewards prepare for\, and adapt to\, the arrival of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). Practices such as stand thinning can improve tree vigour in advance of infestation. Silviculture can also play a mitigative role in cases where insecticide treatments are feasible\, where the focus is on promoting species and structural diversity.   \nPresenters Mary Jane Rodger and Michael Stastny will share practical guidance informed by ongoing research and on-the-ground management experience. Woodland stewards will gain clear considerations and proactive steps to help conserve and strengthen hemlock stands before and after HWA establishment\, supporting long-term forest resilience and ecological health.  \nThis webinar is part of a three-part series designed to equip woodland stewards with practical\, research-informed tools for responding to Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive\, aphid-like insect that has been devastating hemlock forests in Nova Scotia since its discovery in 2017.  Follow the links below to register for parts 1 and 2.  \nWebinar 1: Chemical Treatment Options and Resources for Woodland Stewards (February 26th) \nWebinar 2: Understanding Biological Control and Research in Nova Scotia (March 5th)

SUMMARY:2026 Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resilience Conference
DESCRIPTION:The TransCoastal Adaptations Centre for Nature-Based Solutions at Saint Mary’s University is organizing the 2026 Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resilience Conference. This five-day workshop (including 2 field trip days) provides a space for reflection\, collaboration\, and growth. It focuses on the principles and techniques for nature-based adaptation. The goal is to increase local knowledge exchange on nature-based adaptation and to empower more groups to undertake such activities. Through open dialogue\, they aim to advance the implementation of nature-based and restoration projects across Canada and North America. The multi-day conference will welcome 120 researchers\, policymakers\, scientists\, engineers\, designers\, students\, community groups\, and other experts from across the region. \nThe Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Resilience conference will be held from June 22-24\, 2026 at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. Bookending the event are 2 optional field trips (June 21\, June 25)\, to view nature-based coastal adaptation strategies in action in Nova Scotia. \nVisit Coastal Resilience Conference 2026 — TransCoastal Adaptations to learn more.
