Ginseng cultivation webinar

[Scott G]

This e-mail came across my ‘puter. Thought some of you may be interested. Webinars are great tools, I participate in them often (forest management). You do, however, need to follow the registration instructions exactly and have a higher speed connection.
Take care,
Scott

The PA Forests Web Seminar Center ( http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/) is pleased to announce a special summer series. Eric Burkhart, Instructor and Program Director, Plant Science, Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, will present, Plant yer own patch! An introduction to American ginseng forest farming, at 7:00 p.m. This seminar will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Interested in native plants? Enjoy spending time in the woods? Looking for a way to diversify farm income or help cover annual forestland ownership costs? Establishing or “farming” American ginseng on Pennsylvania forestlands is a fascinating and potentially profitable activity that can contribute to both plant and forestland conservation. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to one of Pennsylvania’s most valuable crops, American ginseng. The botany, biology, ecology, markets, growing options, propagation techniques, and management issues (pests, theft, regulations) will all be covered.

The session is recorded and loaded onto the Web Seminar Center along with a copy of the presentation and any handout materials. So, if you are unable to participate in the “live” session, a recording of it will be available for you to view at your convenience. Of course, none of the interactive elements will be available when watching the recording.

To participate in the live seminars you must register and have a “Friend of Penn State” user ID. The “Register Now” page on the website will walk you through this process. If you are a member of the Penn State community, you already have your User ID, but we would ask you to register on the website so that you can receive reminders of upcoming programs.

Participation in the web seminar does not require any special software. To view live and previously recorded seminars all you need is a high-speed Internet connection and sound.

To register and take part in the live seminars or to view the upcoming seminars schedule, visit http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/.

We look forward to having you join these discussions and learning experiences. “See” you there on August 26.

Looking Ahead:

The Second Tuesday of the Month series will resume on Tuesday, September 8, at noon and 7 p.m. with a talk entitled, Forest Regeneration and Management, by Susan Stout, Project Leader, USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station.
