March 2023 Newsletter -->
Hello and happy spring NW Fire Science readers!
March was busy with new fire science publications, news, and online learning opportunities. Here are some highlights from the last month:
- The Fire in the Western U.S. storymap went live. We worked on this storymap with 4 other fire science exchanges to illustrate some of the diverse inputs and outcomes to what is often summarized as the "western fire problem." Watch the recording of the LANDFIRE office hours where all 5 exchanges presented on the storymap.
- We were excited to learn that many projects (24!) in OR and WA were chosen to receive funding in the first round of funded Community Wildfire Defense Grants. These grants will help partners work better together, across boundaries for better fire outcomes for at-risk communities.
- See below and register for our upcoming webinar with a panel of scientists presenting findings on fuel treatment effectiveness at the landscape scale.
- If you missed our webinar earlier this month on strategies to reduce community smoke impacts, see recording.
