Ongoing Outreach

ACERnet

We maintain an outreach network, AcerNet, a consortium dedicated to advancing understanding of maple ecology and its management in the face of climate change. One of our ongoing projects studies the effects of climate on physiology and distribution of maple species.

Trees in the genus Acer are a widespread and important forest component across northeastern North America. Our interdisciplinary project funded by the Northeast Climate Science Center (NE CSC) at University of Massachusetts focuses on the responses of the iconic tree, sugar maple (A. saccharum), to climate change.

Garlic Mustard Management Workshop

January 16, 2019

The Stinson Lab hosted a Garlic Mustard Management meeting in January 2019 for New England land managers, stakeholders, and land owners who are concerned about garlic mustard. The meeting incorporated both scientific talks given by Stinson Lab members and colleagues, as well as round table discussions to hear about how stakeholders were managing garlic mustard. Their feedback will drive the next research questions for projects in the Stinson Lab.

Garlic Mustard Management Pamphlet

Our management pamphlet is the main output of our garlic mustard outreach. It features recommendations about what to do about garlic mustard, based on our research in the Stinson Lab.

You can download the pamphlet here.
