SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Webinar No. 7
DESCRIPTION:Maximising biodiversity in your Biomass crop plantation \nBiomass crops and their surrounds are brimming with life – birds\, bees\, butterflies and predatory arthropods all live in\, or on the edge and in the surrounds of these plantations. \nThis webinar will provide information on emerging research into understanding how to marry up yield productivity from these crops whilst incorporating simple measures (such as buffer strips and flower-rich grass margins) that increase the edge effect\, promote pollinators and maximise biodiversity net gain. There will be some information on recent Sustainable Farming Initiative (SFI) payment measures and what this means to growers of different biomass crops. \n \nOur Speakers will be Dr. Rebecca Rowe\, a terrestrial ecologist from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) and Ed Drewitt\, a freelance naturalist. \nRebecca will cover topics such as the trends in biodiversity in UK farmland\, how biomass crops might help and which crops are the best from a biodiversity point of view. She’ll also cover current research projects and the grants available to biomass crop growers for biodiversity enhancement. \nEd will take a look at biomass plantations from the perspective of a naturalist\, investigating how birds and other animals use them\, how such plantations could be designed to increase biodiversity and how biomass plantations could contribute to protecting endangered species. \nSpeakers:\nRebecca Rowe (UK CEH)\nRebecca is interested in challenges associated with sustainable land-use and especially how we will meet future demands for food\, fibre and fuel whilst protecting the natural environment. Her research to date has focused on the impacts of land use change to bioenergy cropping on biodiversity\, soil carbon and ecosystem processes. \nEd Drewitt (Freelance Naturalist)\nEd Drewitt is a freelance naturalist\, showing people wildlife (especially in the Forest of Dean where he lives)\, training others to identify birds and their songs and completing wildlife surveys\, often on farmland. He is also a learning advisor\, developing learning resources and toolkits for wildlife organisations. Ed is a frequent contributor to wildlife films\, both behind the scenes and on camera. He has featured on BBC’s Springwatch\, The One Show\, BBC Breakfast and several shows for CBBC. He has also been studying urban-dwelling peregrines for 25 years and is currently doing a part-time PhD at the University of Bristol looking at what makes them tick.\nhttps://www.eddrewitt.co.uk/\n\n				Register Here\n			 \n

SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Webinar No. 6
DESCRIPTION:Biomass crops – some interesting alternatives #2 \nBlack Locust and Energy Canes\n \nSome biomass crops are more well known than others\, but it’s not all about Willow and Miscanthus as they can’t possibly be the best crop for all situations. There are many others to choose from and this webinar will delve into just two of the alternatives\, Black Locust and Energy Canes. \nMárton Németh (Silvanus Forestry) will talk about Black Locust\, a medium-sized tree native to the southern United States that is one of the most commonly planted commercial hardwood trees. It is fast growing producing large amounts of biomass which can be easily coppiced. Biomass Connect are growing varieties of Black Locust at all of our Hub Site trials. The tree produces high-density wood which can be harvested and produced into pellets with high energy content. Black Locust also has many other uses and benefits that will be discussed. \nPaul Carver (New Energy Farms) will give a presentation about Energy Canes. \nWith Kevin Lindegaard (Crops4Energy) steering the discussions\, the webinar promises to be an interesting and lively foray into these alternative biomass crops. \nSpeakers:\nMárton Németh – Silvanus Forestry\n \nMárton Németh is the Managing Director of Silvanus Group\, a family company originally established in 1980\, which has diversified into the research and development of fast-growing varieties more than 15 years ago. Márton graduated from Bocconi University in 2016 in International Economics\, Management and Finance and is currently finishing his master’s degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Sopron. He has worked in the finance sector as well as the tech sector and now has more than 5 years of full-time experience in the biomass and industrial wood production industry. \nPaul Carver – New Energy Farms\n \nPaul has worked in perennial grass propagation\, production and scale up for the last 25 years\, in the EU\, North and South America. He co-founded New Energy Farms in 2009. \nNew Energy Farms is an agtech company\, operating in the area of regenerative agriculture\, providing long term feedstock crops with a high Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) profile. \n\n				Register Here\n			 \n
