Boreal Peatlands are the nexus o f climate\, biodiversity and carbon sequestration\, accounting for approxi mately one third of terrestrial global carbon. Studying these ecosystems i n the Adirondacks provides tools that protect peatland carbon and biodiver sity\, ultimately contributing to natural solutions to climate change. Thr ough over a decade of work at Shingle Shanty Preserve and Research Station and Borealis Consulting\, Ecologist Stephen Langdon has been conducting l ong-term monitoring of peatland microclimates and biodiversity in the Adir ondacks. He will share broad perspectives on peatland conservation and dis cuss current research efforts in the region.\n\nCost: Free for members or with paid admission\nAbout the speaker:\nStephen Langdon has 25 years of e xperience in the Adirondacks working on conservation from shovel-in-hand t rail maintenance to biodiversity research with government and private orga nizations. He has a Masters degree in Ecology from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry\, as well as a B.S in Ecology and a B.A. in Philosophy from SUNY Plattsburgh\, where he is a n adjunct instructor in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science. St eve is involved in a number of research efforts surrounding impacts of hum an-caused global environmental change on biodiversity within the boreal-te mperate ecotone with a particular focus on peatlands. When he is not at Sh ingle Shanty he lives with his wife and two young sons in Saranac Lake.\n\ n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wildcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/20 23/06/Speaker-Series-Langdon.jpg CATEGORIES:Speaker Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:65@wildcenter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230625T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230625T163000 DTSTAMP:20230608T070949Z URL:https://www.wildcenter.org/events/learn-10-trees-identifying-adirondac k-trees-with-botanist-dan-spada/ SUMMARY:Learn 10 Trees: Identifying Adirondack Trees with Botanist Dan Spad a DESCRIPTION:\n\n*Registration required\n\n\n\n\nNew York Flora Association is offering this program in partnership with the Wild Center.  Join bota nist Dan Spada for this excursion to identify 10 native tree species in th e field. Instruction will be provided on the use of keys and guides to be able to identify trees and other plants. This program includes a short lab inside to introduce the program and some terminology. Most of our time wi ll be spent outside on our trails and in the woods. This is a great opport unity to learn plant identification in the field and to get familiar with the keys and other tools used to identify trees. Participants will also cr eate their own identification keys using specimens or field sketches.\n\nS pace is limited to 15 participants so please register soon.\n\nCost:  Fre e for members or with paid admission.

Despite high adult survival and reproduction\, adequate quantiti es and quality of suitable habitat\, and tolerable climate\, moose remain at low densities compared to neighboring states. Populations within the no rtheast have fluctuated because of disease\, and we have initiated a study on moose health and juvenile survival in New York to assess the local imp act of parasites.
