Who: Kent McAdoo, Rangeland Resources Specialist, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension
What: We will discuss strategies for increasing native plant diversity in crested wheatgrass seedings.
A new age of wildland fuel science
Wildland fuels may be the most important consideration in fire management, not just because they are important inputs for predicting fire behavior (i.e., how fast and intense a fire gets), but also because fuels are the only factor that can effectively be controlled by direct and indirect management manipulation.
March 12 - Learning from our Ancestors: Combining Ancient Knowledge Systems and Modern Science to Achieve Restoration
