Action for Ash Day: Inventory and Long-term Monitoring Plots Training
*Date: *July 22, 2025
*Time: *8:30am-4:00pm
*Location: *Colby College, Waterville
*Cost: *FREE
As the emerald ash borer moves through the Northeast, help is needed to support the resilience of forested ecosystems and basketmaking as a Wabanaki cultural lifeway. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of the emerald ash borer and sharing information on healthy ash trees in your area is one way you can help preserve ash trees into the future.
Join the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik [ [link removed] ] (APCAW), the Gulf of Maine Research Institute [ [link removed] ] (GMRI), and the Monitoring and Managing Ash [ [link removed] ] (MaMA) program at the Ecological Research Institute to practice short and long term monitoring protocols and learn how to contribute data from your own community to a broad community science effort. Attendees will receive resources to take back to their communities and build connections across a broad network of land stewards, scientists, community members, and basketmakers that will support action to protect ash across the region.
Land trust or conservation staff, conservation volunteers, citizen scientists, and private landowners are encouraged to join.
