DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTree</a> Protection Collaboration Across <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanakik</a>"Ash trees, in particular brown ash (used interchangeably with black ash, Fraxinus nigra), are a cultural keystone species for Wabanaki communities and a crucial part of wetland ecosystems in the Northeast. The spread of the invasive forest pest EAB has caused 99% brown ash tree mortality in other areas of Turtle Island, and will have a considerable effect on ecosystems and traditions as it spreads through the Dawnland."Partners of the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik’s (APCAW) have been working for 20 years to prepare for the onset of EAB in Northeastern forests. We are committed to identifying research-informed strategies to protect the future of ash in the Dawnland that align with Wabanaki priorities. The purpose of this website is to share practical knowledge with those who seek to take actions to maintain ash on the landscape. If you’d like to receive event announcements in your inbox, sign up for our newsletter here. Read on to find information about the cultural importance of ash, seed collection efforts, and emerald ash borer (EAB) management.Why are we called the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik?"Our name emerged from collaborative conversations about the goals of our shared work. We decided to use the word <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanakik</a> to refer to the place where we are located in an effort to center Wabanaki language and ways of knowing. Wabanakik is a term with slightly different meanings in each eastern <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Algonquin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Algonquin</a> language, but can be understood in English to mean either 'in the location of the land which is referred to as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dawnland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dawnland</a>' or 'in the location of the People of the Dawn.' Wabanakik stretches from Newfoundland in the north, to mid-Maine in the south, and parts of Quebec in the west."APCAW members acknowledge that we are located in the homeland of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiConfederacy</a>, which includes the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Abenaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Abenaki</a>, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Tribal Nations. Wabanakik has a ongoing legacy of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonialism</a>, of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenLand</a>, broken treaties, forced removal and genocide of Wabanaki peoples which have fragmented Wabanaki relationships to land. The People of the Dawn maintain a sacred relationship with brown ash trees since time immemorial. APCAW’s work is to center, protect, and restore this ongoing relationship between Wabanaki peoples and ash ecosystems.Who are we?"The Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik (APCAW) is a group of Indigenous and non-indigenous researchers, Tribal members, and forest caretakers working together to bring more awareness of the cultural and ecological significance of ash trees and efforts to conserve them. APCAW continues the initiative set forth by the EAB and Brown Ash Taskforce, which began in the early 2000s to facilitate the collaborative capacity of Wabanaki basketmakers, Tribal Nations, state and federal foresters, and others to prevent, detect, and respond to the EAB. APCAW gives platform to the work of a broad range of partners, including:• University of Maine School of Forest Resources • Tribal Nations <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MikmaqNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MikmaqNation</a>, Presque Isle <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoultonBand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoultonBand</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maliseet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maliseet</a> Indians, Houlton <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PassamaquoddyTribe</a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianTownship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndianTownship</a> Passamaquoddy Tribe at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PleasantPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PleasantPoint</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sipayik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sipayik</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PenobscotNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PenobscotNation</a>, Indian Island• Wabanaki basketmakers and the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance• State and Federal Forestry Agencies USDA APHIS State of Maine Department of Agriculture & Forestry State, Private, and Tribal Forest Service• Conservation organizations and seed saving organizations The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WildSeedProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildSeedProject</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineLandTrustNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaineLandTrustNetwork</a>Learn more (includes links to resources): <a href="https://umaine.edu/apcaw/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://umaine.edu/apcaw/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MFS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmeraldAshBorer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmeraldAshBorer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTree</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/APCAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCAW</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasiveSpecies</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanaki</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheForests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaineNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveTheTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiCulture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiBasketry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiBasketry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiTradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiTradition</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Forestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forestry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheSacred</a>

The infested area shows signs of a well-established EAB population, with visible damage to ash trees from public roads."'This is an unfortunate but not entirely unexpected discovery,' said Cormier. 'We’ve known that EAB continues to spread throughout Maine, and we appreciate the vigilance of local arborists and community members. Public awareness is important to detecting and responding to this destructive forest pest.'"As a result of this detection, the Maine Department of Agriculture Conservation and Forestry will expand the current EAB quarantine to include all towns on MDI. This non-contiguous quarantine may help slow the spread."Key guidance for landowners, municipalities, and the public includes: - <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTree</a> material should remain on MDI. Logs, branches, or wood waste from removed trees should be disposed of on-site or at an island-based disposal facility. - Ash chips are not regulated and may be legally transported off the island. - High-value ash trees that are not heavily infested can be evaluated and may be preserved through systemic insecticide treatment by licensed pesticide applicators. These treatments require periodic reapplication. - Infested ash trees will decline quickly and become structurally unstable. Property owners and managers are urged to evaluate ash trees near infrastructure for potential treatment or removal."The MFS and collaborators, including the Ash Protection Collaboration Across <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanakik</a>'s (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/APCAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCAW</a>), Sustaining Ash Partners Network (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SAPNe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SAPNe</a>), and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDA</a> Animal and Plant Inspection Service, continue to support ongoing mitigation efforts, including: - Release of biological control organisms from federal partners by MFS through community partnerships. - Seed collection and protection for future restoration led by APCAW. - Education and technical support by varied partners. - Public tree management and replanting through state and federal funding opportunities."'Emerald ash borer is one of the most damaging forest pests we face,' added Cormier.

She moves quickly through the chest-high ostrich ferns, frilly leaves heavy with rain, as the orange saw sputters and then chokes. 'She gets all freaked out,' says Gabriel Frey, laughing as he yanks the starting cord again with one heavily muscled arm, the saw whirring to life. Putting the bar to a trunk of shaggy, gray-tinged bark, he begins to cut, the grinding sound of the saw echoing through the damp, green-lit stand."The felled tree is one of three that Frey and Greenlaw carefully picked out of the woods on the cool, damp July day in far northern <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a>.

TobiWanKenobi"The prognosis for the survival of a large proportion of extant species is not good. Our review lays out arguments clearly demonstrating that there is a biodiversity crisis, quite probably the start of the Sixth Mass Extinction. Dedicated conservation biologists and conservation agencies are doing what they can, focused mainly on threatened birds and mammals, among which some species may be saved from the extinction that would otherwise ensue. But we are pessimistic about the fate of most of the Earth's biodiversity, much of which is going to vanish without us ever knowing of its existence."Source: <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/brv.12816" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/brv.12816</a>A study about the Sixth Mass Extinction from 2022 but still as accurate, alerting and pressing as ever.
