As part of the Southwest conference this year, we plan to host roundtable discussions designed to identify communication issues that occur during wildfires, to understand and appreciate varied perspectives, and to brainstorm scenarios where good communication enables managers to meet resource objectives more readily.
This conference is intended to provide information on the management of the forestry and wildland fire program, with emphasis on both internal and external partnerships which address the maintenance of healthy and productive forests. Additionally, we will work to explore opportunities and strategies focused on the creation of an educated, sustainable workforce.
The 2016 Wildland Fire conference will take place this year in Kelowna, BC from October 24th-28th. This year's theme is "Building Resilience." Call for abstracts is now open and topics will focus on anticipating change; designing resilient fire management systems; defining and managing resilient landscapes; and planning smarter, safer, resilient communities.
The annual NW Climate Conference is the region's premier opportunity for a cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas relating to climate impacts and adaptation.
Forests form the fabric of the landscapes of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes area, influencing generations of foresters and figuring prominently in the cultures, traditions, and economies of the region. Madison is central to a robust Midwestern forestry community that offers a rich history, a legacy of pioneering forestry environmentalism, and an active contemporary forestry industry.

Have you ever struggled to explain why your science matters to a non-scientist? Have you ever been frustrated at the way science is covered in general media and used in policy? Have you wondered just what they’re teaching about science these days? We don’t have all the answers, but we can try to help!
