April 2024 Newsletter

Happy spring, NW Fire Science Readers!
If you are hoping to attend some webinars in the coming weeks, you are in luck. There are webinars nearly every day of April on fire science topics ranging from working with the media to adaptive silviculture, dealing with misinformation, Tribal forestry, fire use around the world, and more! Read on for a recap of all those webinars plus all the new journal articles, reports, events, news, and other resources hot of the press the last month.
Here at NWFSC we are working on some exciting new efforts that we hope to share more about in coming months, and are deep into planning for upcoming workshops, a science summit, some field-based meetings, and much more. And we are diving into initial data collection for our needs assessment effort which will ultimately include interviews, focus groups, and a couple surveys. We will be at the
IAWF Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference in Boise in a couple weeks–if you are also attending we'd love to meet you. Steering Committee member Vita Wright will be representing NWFSC at an exhibitor table--stop by to say hi, peruse our resources, and get some stickers and pens!
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!
Autumn Ellison
NWFSC Program Coordinator

Meet the team: NWFSC Partner Sensing Group
The NWFSC partner sensing group meets for a field tour following the Eagle Creek Fire, 2018
The NWFSC team exploring on a field tour during a 2016 meeting in north central WA.
We've been highlighting individual team members from our steering committee over the last few months, and we wanted to take this month to give a shout out to our Partner Sensing Group (PSG). The PSG encompasses members from diverse organizations and plays a key role in helping to ensure our efforts are relevant, accurate, useful, and accessible. The PSG:
- Reviews accomplishments, outcomes, lessons learned, and workplans;
- Helps design and engage end users in needs assessments, particularly for diverse representation and inclusion of underrepresented groups;
- Networks and shares NWFSC activities and outputs within their organizations and partnerships
As the NWFSC team gets started on what will be a comprehensive, mixed-methods approach to a new needs assessment, we are interviewing each of our PSG members this month on their organization's fire science application needs. These interviews will help inform our next efforts, including focus groups and a pair of surveys. We are grateful for the insight, perspectives, ideas, and overall diverse knowledge that our partners sensing group brings to NWFSC. Thank you PSG!
To learn more about past needs assessments, or to submit a research need from your experience, visit our
needs assessments page. We will continue to highlight more team members in forthcoming newsletters.
Meet the team!
