SUMMARY:Penn State Water Insights Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Penn State Environment and Natural Resources Institute \n\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, March 20 at 12 p.m.Where: Room 102\, Forest Resources Building\, University Park\, PA\, or online using Zoom. Lunch will be provided to those who attend in person. \n\n\n\nStroud Water Research Center associate scientist\, Melinda Daniels\, Ph.D.\, will present the next Penn State Water Insights Seminar. \n\n\n\n\nWatershed restoration has always presented an opportunity for addressing both ecological and human resiliency concerns\, yet quantifying and communicating the connections between the two has been challenging. This has resulted in segmented\, piecemeal restoration funding with limited ecological or human resiliency benefits. We appear to be in a phase of opportunity to produce larger\, connected\, holistic watershed restoration with clear and quantifiable improvements in both human and ecological resiliency. In this session we showcase a demonstration watershed restoration effort funded following Hurricane Sandy that employs multiple in-channel\, floodplain\, and hillslope strategies to restore hydrologic and water quality function to a headwater tributary of the Brandywine Creek watershed with dual goals of human and ecological resiliency to large magnitude disturbance events as well as persistent climate and land use change pressures. \n\n\n\n\nView the list of seminars in this series and links to recordings of past seminars

SUMMARY:Watershed Restoration Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, September 30\, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Stroud Water Research Center\n\n\n\nWhat to bring/wear: Long pants\, long-sleeved shirt\, gloves\, a hat if sunny\, water and a snack.\n\n\n\n\nVolunteers will help measure trees and record data from an experiment this spring. You will be taught how to identify tree species. The purpose of the study is to see which method of using herbicide resulted in more tree regeneration. This study will directly lead to learning best management practices (BMPs) for regenerating forestlands around streams and wetlands. BMPs will be taught for suburban and rural areas\, including farms. \n\n\n\nThis study is part of a federal grant that resulted from the devastation that followed Hurricane Sandy. Hurricanes and other extreme water events teach us that we need our headwaters and small first order streams to absorb water and connect with the floodplain in order to reduce the force and rate of water discharge during storms. \n\n\n\nRSVP required! \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Calen Wylie. \n\n\n\nCan’t make this date? We have year-round volunteer opportunities!
