SUMMARY:Webinar: Bringing Green Parking Lots to Your Community: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join your watershed colleagues and POWR for Part 1 of 2-part conversation about Bringing Green Parking Lots to Your Community: The Benefits and Challenges. \nParking lots have been one of the fastest growing land uses\, covering acres of land with impervious asphalt and becoming a dominant landscape feature in many communities They contribute to the urban heat island\, which elevates temperatures in communities\, and have an impact on water quality and stormwater runoff that degrade our streams and rivers. They can also detract from community character and affect pedestrian and driver safety. \nGreen parking lots can reverse those trends by creating a landscape that not only improves the aesthetics and safety of a site\, but also intercepts stormwater runoff and allows infiltration\, shades parked cars and paved surfaces\, and promotes evapotranspiration to cool the surrounding environment.  \nPart 1 will focus on: \n• Green parking lot designs that leaves plenty of room for cars and trees \n• Other design elements that improve safety\, community character\, and sustainability \n• Environmental\, health\, and economic benefits associated with green parking lots. \n• Selecting trees and using best management practices that will promote survival \n• Managing stormwater with the landscape features \nThere will also be plenty of time for conversation\, questions\, and for participant interaction. \nWe will welcome Vincent Cotrone\, Urban Forester and Natural Resource Extension Educator\, Penn State University\, who will share his expertise this evening.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Riparian Buffers...Not Just for Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:Meadows and forests adjacent to waterways not only help remove pollutants from stormwater flowing into our waterways\, they also serve as important habitat and migration corridors for many of Pennsylvania’s native land (and air) based animals! Knowing and understanding these additional benefits can help you engage and inspire more people in your community by tapping into the issues and creatures they may care most about. \nDuring this free webinar\, staff of the PA Game Commission and volunteers of Bird Town Pennsylvania will share their expert knowledge about mammal and bird species that use these habitats to feed\, breed and raise young\, take cover from predators\, and migrate seasonally from their summer to winter homes. There will also be plenty of time for conversations and questions. \nRegister today to make sure you get the Zoom link. Deadline to register is 4 PM on Monday January 16. \nThis event is FREE\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Managing Invasive Species and Overgrown Landscapes with Goats
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for a presentation about managing the fast-growing\, pervasive\, and invasive Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is commonly found along streams and rivers\, in low-lying areas\, and in disturbed areas such as rights-of-way. It often creates monoculture stands that threaten native plant communities. It is notoriously difficult to manage and get rid of! \nJoin POWR and your watershed organization colleagues for a presentation on one method that was used to control knotweed in a local park: GOATS! During the webinar\, you will learn how this approach was was selected\, planned\, and implemented\, how the community and key partners worked together\, and what the short and long-term outcomes have been\, and what it all cost. Our presenters will also share some key lessons learned\, in case you want to consider a similar effort in your watershed! \nThis free webinar\, presented by staff and volunteers of the Shenango River Watchers and the Sharon Beautification Commission\, will also include plenty of time for conversations and questions. \nRegister today to make sure you get the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:2022 Watershed Congress: The Clean Water Act at 50
DESCRIPTION:The Watershed Congress is an annual event that seeks to advance the best available information and techniques for protecting and restoring watersheds.
