February 2023 Newsletter -->
Greetings fellow fire science aficionados!
Here providing you with all the new fire science pubs, news, and resources out this past month. We've had a busy month with stops in Wenatchee, WA for a prescribed fire barriers workshop and in Corvallis, OR for the Oregon Post-fire Research and Monitoring Symposium. It's been great to learn about new efforts and research while sharing our resources and meeting new partners! We've also been working on some great new learning opportunities for you-- scroll down to the highlight boxes for 2 new webinars on topics we get asked about all the time (smoke, fuel treatment effectiveness).
Be sure to check out all of the news and resources below, and if you have items you want us to highlight in future newsletters, we'd love to hear from you. And as always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Special Issue Call:
Please note there will be an upcoming Special Issue on Reimagining the Future of Living and Working with Fire in the Fire Social Science section of the journal Fire. This special issue aims to foreground the diverse experiences of the formal and informal workforce in fire management and highlight what a more equitable fire future would look like. The objective is to bring together novel future-thinking and future-ready practices on reimagining life and work with fire in ways that can achieve caring, equitable, sustainable, and just outcomes. See the full call for more details. UPCOMING WEBINAR:
Strategies to reduce wildfire smoke in frequently impacted communities in Southwestern Oregon
Presented by Rick Graw, USDA Forest Service
March 21, 12pm PT.
