Utilizing the existing partnerships and collaborations established by the brown ash task force, Tyler\u2019s project will optimize outreach efforts to inform research that will establish study sites for testing adaptive management strategies for brown ash wetland forests that aim to be resilient in the aftermath of EAB. The results of these management trials will help establish guidelines and recommendations for how to best increase the resiliency of the region\u2019s ash resource in the face of this complex forest health issue. Outreach is underway to both Tribal Nation Partners as well as landowners and land managers from across the Dawn Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Tribal outreach:<\/em> Working directly with appointed natural resource staff for participating Tribal Nations, we are coordinating public outreach in Tribal Nation communities, where we will present community members with possible adaptive management options, outline any existing knowledge gaps, and explain the uncertainty and probable outcomes for each option. Following the outreach, an opportunity to participate in a focus group discussion will be offered to interested community members.&nbsp; Analysis of these focus group sessions will inform the experimental design of the project\u2019s management trials. Ensuring that these trials will align with the priorities of our Tribal partners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Landowner and Land Manager outreach:<\/em> Working cooperatively with state agency partners in Maine and other voluntary organizations we have dispersed a survey to landowners, loggers, and foresters throughout the state that will allow us insight into their perceptions on the EAB forest health issue. This newfound understanding will be used to produce outreach materials for these groups that aim to address misconceptions and knowledge gaps regarding ash best management practices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Management Trials:<\/em> As previously noted, the management trials will be based on the priorities identified by our Tribal partners. Sites will be monitored pre- and post-treatment for EAB impacts and infestation levels, as well as patterns of forest regeneration and development. Leveraging these metrics in an analysis will allow us to analyze the overall efficacy of the adaptive management strategy. To deliver the research results we will increase the decision-making capacity of Tribal Nations, private landowners, foresters, and loggers, through management guides and informational sheets tailored to their specific needs<em>.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ella McDonald, PhD Student<\/strong>, <strong>School of Forest Resources<\/strong><br>Email: ella.mcdonald@maine.edu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-724\" style=\"width:287px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-105x105.jpeg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-317x317.jpeg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-423x423.jpeg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-634x634.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-846x846.jpeg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-951x951.jpeg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-1268x1268.jpeg 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-400x400.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/apcaw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/668\/2025\/06\/Headshot-32x32.jpeg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ella McDonald is focused on supporting EAB adaptation projects led by Wabanaki community members.
