SUMMARY:Plants Out of Place: Communicating Effectively About Invasive Species ($ Pay what you wish)
DESCRIPTION:The past\, present\, and future of invasive plants in our ecosystems is defined by human actions and notions of stewardship. Yet\, public skepticism and mistrust towards the field of invasion biology have been heightened by pervasive criticism from within the social sciences\, humanities\, popular media\, and by extension\, the general public. \nThanks to support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation\, Dr. Mason Heberling initiated a new project at Carnegie Museum of Natural History focused on increasing public awareness of invasive plants. During this webinar\, Dr. Heberling will share outcomes and some lessons learned in connection to the changing scientific perspectives on the categorization and perceived threats of invasive plants and highlight the need for updated\, inclusive communication strategies. \nAs an added feature\, this program will highlight these strategies\, experiments\, and collaborations that led to a new museum exhibition\, Uprooted: Plants Out of Place. This exhibition integrates historical-scientific narratives through archival objects and museum specimens. It also recontextualizes the museum’s Hall of Botany of plant-centric dioramas dating from the 1920s that portray idealized plant communities devoid of—including the role of human responsibility and agency\, invasive plants as passengers\, the role of language in shaping attitudes\, and other cultural points of view. \nThis program is part of our ongoing gardening series offering a varied focus on native plants throughout the seasons for gardeners of all levels and learning styles. The 2026 “Misunderstood Natives” theme aims to explore diverse perceptions of native plants\, inviting audiences to see them through a new lens—one that offers fresh insights and practical tools for understanding the value native species bring to people\, wildlife\, and the places we live.

SUMMARY:Here Comes the Sun (Clean Energy for All Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Here comes the sun… but it needs your help! \nSolar energy projects have been proposed across Pennsylvania at the utility-scale level\, meaning that they are large enough to send power to our electric grid. Unfortunately\, these promising projects are often stopped at the local level\, sometimes after planning and permitting processes have already made significant progress. Even well-intentioned local municipalities can be a barrier to renewable energy adoption since they can control local land use. Much of this resistance is driven by misinformation. \nThe good news is that you can play a role in ensuring that your neighbors know the facts and understand the benefits of bringing more clean energy to our communities! \nIn this next episode of the Clean Energy for All series\, we’ll discuss why solar energy projects are good for our communities\, how to combat misinformation and work with local governments to secure project approvals\, and highlight specific projects in the state that need your voice right now! \nYou will also hear about Sierra Club volunteers whose efforts advocating for a pending solar project had a direct impact on securing local government support. Learn more about the recent victory in Centre County from the Sierra Club Moshannon Group in this month’s issue of the Sylvanian (link pending). \nAre you ready to speak up for solar energy? Join us on February 25th to bring some sunshine to this long\, cold\, lonely winter. \nSun\, sun\, sun… Here we come! \nRegister
