SUMMARY:Family Fun with Newport Tree Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:The Newport Tree Conservancy is excited to announce a new family friendly tree walk series including three separate walks around Newport’s local parks. During each session participants will explore the park’s trees\, learn about their benefits to various living beings\, and make fascinating discoveries. Participants will create their own field guides using leaf and bark rubbings. Those attending multiple programs can look forward to compiling their illustrations into a personalized booklet for future tree-spotting adventures. This program is best suited for children aged 4 and above. When registering please indicate the number of children and adults in your group.

SUMMARY:Coexisting with Coyotes
DESCRIPTION:Coyotes are greatly misunderstood\, but most of their fear-instilling actions are simply a part of their life history and strategy for survival. Still\, these critters can certainly become a nuisance\, especially if they begin to den under decks and dine out of chicken coops. Learning why these creatures behave the way they do is the key to finding resolution. Join RIDEM Division of Fish and Wildlife to learn about coyote natural history\, discoveries made by the Narragansett Bay Coyote Study\, and ways to coexist with them.

SUMMARY:Wildlife Wednesdays: Trends of the Rhode Island Osprey Population
DESCRIPTION:“Trends of the Rhode Island Osprey Population\,” with Lincoln Dark\, program coordinator for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s osprey nest monitoring program. The recovery of the osprey population is one of the most inspiring stories of wildlife conservation\, but how has the local population in Rhode Island changed? In this presentation\, Lincoln will discuss osprey nesting biology\, the history of osprey monitoring in Rhode Island\, and the trends in distribution and abundance of osprey nests in our state.

SUMMARY:RIFCO Summer Twilight Woods Walk
DESCRIPTION:The R.I. Forest Conservator’s Organization is conducting its annual Summer Twilight Woods Walk at the site of a research project being set up at the Hillsdale Preserve. 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 R.I.’s forests can be made more resilient to the impacts of climate change. The Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) project is a collaborative effort to establish a series of experimental silvicultural trials across a network of different forest ecosystem types throughout the United States and Canada. On 40 acres in Hillsdale\, three different types of forest management treatments are being implemented. The results of the three treatments (as well as an unmanaged no-action control) will be compared to determine the effectiveness of each approach.

SUMMARY:The Effect of Climate Change and Offshore Wind on Fisheries and Ocean Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Fisheries are an important economic and cultural aspect of Rhode Island life. Our various fisheries employ and feed many individuals\, as well as support the tourism industry. What effect does climate change have on Rhode Island fisheries? How do we implement mitigation tactics\, such as offshore wind\, while continuing to support sustainable fishing in the Ocean State? Panelists will address these questions and more. Discussion facilitated by: Emily Conklin\, vice-chair of Newport’s Energy & Environment Commission. Panelists include David Bethoney\, executive director of the Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation; Jeremy Collie\, professor of oceanography at University of Rhode Island; Andrew Lipsky from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\, and Frederick Mattera\, executive director of Commercial Fisheries Center of Rhode Island.
