SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Sense-able Classrooms Virtual Workshop: Streamside Forests and Herbal Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with \n \nWhen: Wednesday\, August 12\, 2020\, 1–3 p.m. This workshop has been canceled due to low registration numbers. We hope to reschedule in the future. Subscribe to our education e-newsletter to be notified of upcoming events.Where: Online via Zoom.Audience: K-12 educators\, pre-service educators\, non-formal educators\, and interested adults.Cost: $13\, includes two hours ACT 48. Pre-registration is required. \nPart 1: Ever take a walk out in a forest and come out feeling refreshed\, relaxed\, and at peace? Scientific research has shown there are many benefits to being immersed in these kinds of natural surroundings such as lowering heart rates\, regulating blood pressure\, and reducing stress or anxiety. Forests are also important to watersheds\, and trees are needed by streams to keep them healthy\, acting as a buffer to upland pollution\, providing shade to cool the waters while also being a source of nutrition through the leaves they drop. Find your senses in this ecosystem as we immerse in the ecological\, emotional\, and physical benefits and how you can bring these concepts and experiences into the classroom through peaceful forest walks (forest bathing) and tree plantings either virtually or on your own school grounds. \nPart 2: An herb garden is the perfect multi-sensory teaching tool for your classroom! Learn how to create your own classroom-sized herb garden\, perfect for a windowsill or desk. This teaching tool is suited to grade levels K-5. Discover the history of herbs\, their culinary and medicinal uses\, and identification of different herbs based on observable characteristics.

SUMMARY:[WEBINAR] Mimicking Nature to Manage Water On-Site: A Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, September 9\, 11:30–1:00 p.m. EDTWhere: OnlineCost: $10. Free to Ecological Landscape Alliance members. \n\n\n\n\nWatch Webinar Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEcological Landscape Alliance is co-hosting this third event in the water series hosted by the Living Future Community of Green Building United. \n\n\n\nStroud Water Research Center’s Moorhead Environmental Complex was completed almost ten years ago. The goal was to manage water on the site in a way that mimics nature — leaving a smaller overall environmental footprint\, better protecting White Clay Creek\, and acting as both a teaching vehicle and a replicable model for others to follow. \n\n\n\nThe water management at the Stroud Center has succeeded but there have been challenges to overcome along the way. Join us for a roundtable discussion among the designers\, engineers\, and client about “getting the water right” at the Moorhead Environmental Complex. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will begin with a virtual tour of the facility so participants can get acquainted with the project and overall site. Following the virtual tour\, we will host a virtual roundtable discussion that will focus on: \n\n\n\nSuccesses and failures of collaborative design.Challenges and opportunities of operating a natural system.Lessons learned from the project.Celebrating the influence this project has had on design.\n\n\n\nWe are excited to be joined by several project team members and clients that were involved in the concept development and facility design. Participants include: \n\n\n\nDave Arscott\, president\, Stroud Water Research CenterJosé Almiñana\, principal\, Andropogon Associates\, LtdMichele Adams\, founder and frincipal\, Meliora DesignScott Kelly\, co-founder\, principal-in-charge\, Re:Vision Architecture

SUMMARY:Youth Watershed Explorer Challenge
DESCRIPTION:When: Three separate challenges will take place October 1 through November 5\, 2020.\nAudience: Youths aged 12-16. The challenges meet the Ranger Certificate criteria for Scouts BSA and Girl Scouts but you do not need to be a Scout to participate.\nCost: Free! Pre-registration required. \nRegistration for this event has closed. \nYouth Watershed Explorers (YWE) is a program that pairs field “investigative” experiences with virtual learning. Explorers will be guided through three challenges\, all of which focus on the significance of First State National Historical Park’s Brandywine Valley unit. Each challenge will consist of short virtual learning sessions that build upon the in-nature components. \nExplorers will need an adult to help them get out into nature to begin the field tasks\, but should be able to complete those tasks on their own using the YWE-designed field notebooks and resources we provide once Explorers are registered. \nThe three challenges will have the Explorers analyzing water quality in the creeks and streams in the park\, revealing the hidden secrets of the landscape\, and forming a lasting connection to the watershed. At the completion of the program each participant will receive a certificate and a Junior Ranger Badge. \nEach challenge will consist of a 30-minute zoom conversation before and after the field experience in Wilmington\, Delaware. Each Explorer must attend both conversations in order to gain credit for their certificate. \nFor complete details\, visit https://www.nps.gov/frst/youth-watershed-explorers.htm.

SUMMARY:Advanced Soil Ecology Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:When: March 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\, and April 1\, 1-2 p.m. each day.Cost: Free. Registration is required.Registration deadline: March 2 at 11 a.m. \n\n\n\nThis five-part webinar series takes a deeper dive into the hidden world of soil microbes. What functions do these organisms provide and how do management decisions affect the functioning of these communities? A diverse community of soil organisms is critical for optimizing crop health\, production\, and enhancing field conditions that benefit both farmers and the environment. Only by creating an environment to fully support these organisms\, can we achieve maximum soil health. \n\n\n\nThe webinar series is a collaborative project by members of the Pennsylvania Soil Health Coalition and is co-hosted by Penn State University and Stroud Water Research Center. \n\n\n\nSession 1 (March 4): Soil Bacteria: Small but Mighty\n\n\n\nBacteria may be the smallest of the microbes but they provide major services. From nitrogen fixation and cycling\, to solubilizing phosphorus\, to serving as a key microbial link in adding carbon to the soil system. This session discusses these critical services and how field conditions and management decisions affect the bacterial communities. Presenter: Lisa Blazure\, Stroud Water Research Center. \n\n\n\nSession 2 (March 11): Mycorrhizal Fungi: Networking for Plant Health\n\n\n\nIt’s the underground worldwide web. The vast network of fungal hyphae enables plants to communicate with each other\, gather water and nutrients\, and build soil structure. What is needed to support this essential network and what are the factors that disrupt it? Presenter: Lisa Blazure\, Stroud Water Research Center. \n\n\n\nSession 3 (March 18): Endophytes: Hidden Helpers in Plants\n\n\n\nEndophytes are microbes\, most often bacteria or fungi\, that live within plants. Endophytes often have beneficial effects\, such as pest and disease suppression\, nutrient acquisition\, and plant growth promotion. This session will cover some beneficial endophytes in agroecosystems and conditions that promote their presence in soil. Presenter: Mary Barbercheck\, Department of Entomology\, Penn State University. \n\n\n\nSession 4 (March 25): Soil Food Web: Where the Hunters Become the Hunted\n\n\n\nHealthy soils are home to an incredible diversity of organisms that interact in a soil food web. As these organisms eat\, grow\, and move through the soil\, they support the ability of soil to support crop production and provide clean water\, clean air\, and moderated water flow. In this session\, we will explore some beneficial food web interactions and how to promote and conserve them. Presenter: Mary Barbercheck\, Department of Entomology\, Penn State University. \n\n\n\nSession 5 (April 1): Soil Microbiome: The Present and Future of Boosting Soil Health Through Microbial Management\n\n\n\nSoil microorganisms play diverse critical roles in agricultural systems\, so it’s obvious that they would be a target for farmer management. Microbes are typically invisible without the use of specialized tools and challenging for farmers to track the efficacy of approaches to manage them. In this session we will discuss the key roles of microorganisms in soils\, approaches to microbial management\, and challenges and future potential for microbial management in agriculture. Presenters: Terrence Bell\, Laura Kaminsky\, and Sarah Richards\, Penn State University.
