Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Northeast Off-Road Adventures (NORA) & SOAR with Scott Trager
Q: So someone who wants to do off-roading, what should they have in their vehicle? Like if something goes wrong, what do you need to have there?
Scott says drivers should first understand how their vehicle operates, then carry properly rated recovery equipment such as a recovery strap or kinetic rope, traction boards, and potentially a winch. He stresses that winches require training because they can be dangerous.
Northeast Off-Road Adventures (NORA) & SOAR with Scott Trager
Q: What's something you think people misunderstand about four-wheel driving?
Scott says people often mistake off-roading for high-speed driving with spinning tires. NORA instead teaches technical driving focused on protecting people, vehicles, and the environment.
Fire, Oak Regeneration, & Japanese Stiltgrass with Dan Marshalla
Q: Have you thought about deer and their impacts on oak and still grass and fire, all those interacting?
Deer were not a significant issue at his southern Illinois study sites: out of 800 planted oak seedlings, none were eaten by deer and four were eaten by rabbits.
Fire, Oak Regeneration, & Japanese Stiltgrass with Dan Marshalla
Q: What are the takeaways?
Sites with more prior burns had better oak seedling survival, associated with more understory light and lower fire intensity. Stiltgrass abundance did not affect post-fire oak survival.
10 Year Study on Deer & Deer Management with Cornell's Bernd Blossey
Q: If you had infinite resources, what research question would you study and why?
Blossey would investigate which tools can effectively reduce deer populations, comparing approaches suited to different landscapes and developing measures based on ecological, forestry, economic and human-health impacts.
