January 2023 Newsletter --> Happy 2023 from NWFSC
Greetings Northwest Fire Science Consortium subscribers,
We hope that you all had an enjoyable end of 2022, wherever the season took you. December was very busy for us as we submitted our proposal for FY 24-25--we'll keep you updated about our exciting new ideas and work plans for the future as we get word back! Be sure to check out all of the new resources below, and if you have any news or resources 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!
