Pancakes at 8am and Seminar at 9am. \nTitle: Long-term Studies of Longleaf Pines\, Venus Flytraps and More in a Fire-Dependent Ecosystem in the Green Swamp of Brunswick County \nDescription: The Green Swamp is a national landmark. It contains some of the best examples of wet-pine savannas in the world. It has a rich biodiversity and is an important part of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain 36th Global Biodiversity Hotspot. Long-term studies of Longleaf Pines\, Venus Flytraps\, and Lysimachia asperulifolia (an endangered species) are described along with the importance of fire (frequency and timing) to these and other species in this fire-dependent ecosystem. Results from over a decade of investigations with the Nature Conservancy will be highlighted along with comments and post-fire images from the large wildfire in June 2023. \nSpeaker: Roger Shew\nRoger is a Geology and Environmental Science professor at UNCW and has been teaching since 1999. He is particularly interested in energy and water resources\, coastal plain ecosystems\, and other sustainability issues; among other courses he teaches courses in sustainability. Roger also conducts field seminars as part of UNCW outreach as well as Teacher Education workshops including trips to coastal area beaches and barrier islands\, the Green Swamp Preserve\, and to the Bay Lakes areas. He volunteers with the Coastal Federation and with the Nature Conservancy where he helps with longleaf pine restoration and with endangered species studies. Roger grew up in Brunswick County and worked in the Energy Industry for 20 years. Roger joined the board in 2008. \nFacebook Event: https://fb.me/e/9qy9I4QoX
