Hello NW Fire Science Readers,
We hope you are all staying safe and healthy as we move deeper into the fall with its ever-shortening days and chilly mornings. In case you missed our special newsletter announcement a couple weeks ago, please see below for 2 new exciting opportunities we are hosting over the next month and a half:
- Revive the Future: Transforming Post-Wildfire Recovery in the Northwest webinar series. We had our first webinar on Wednesday of this week, we had many interested attendees and received great feedback. Don't miss the next 4 in the series happening the next 4 Wednesdays from 12-1 PDT, and if you missed the 1st, see below for a link to the recording.
- Equity and Environmental Justice in Wildland Fire Virtual Workshop, Nov 12-14. We are putting together a fantastic agenda for this workshop that we look forward to sharing in the next couple weeks. See below to register for any or all of the 3 days of the workshop.
Of course, we've got the recap on all the upcoming events, new resources, and recent media coverage on fire and fire science topics as usual. Happy reading, and as always, please don't hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions, resources to highlight in future newsletters, or other news to share; we are always happy to hear from you!
