Part of the solution to dealing with the increasing complexity of wildfire management is to reduce uncertainties inherent within active fire management, where time-sensitive decisions often rely upon incomplete information.  Breaking out of the wildfire paradox requires aligning the short-term operational objectives of incident responders with the longer term ecological and management obje

As part of our effort to advance policies and practices that sustain working lands, connected landscapes, and native species, WLA is offering this interactive practitioner exchange focused on prescribed fire on private land. We are enlisting a panel of experts from across the West with experience in various aspects of prescribed fire in diverse settings.

RFPAs are unique partnerships wherein ranchers and the Bureau of Land Management work together to suppress rangeland wildfires. Using four case studies in Oregon and Idaho, we discuss the value and outcomes of this approach, as well as challenges and future implications for fire adaptation on the range.

What will you learn?

The carbon carrying capacity (CCC) of an ecosystem is determined by prevailing climate and natural disturbance conditions.  Projected climate change and increasing area burned have the potential to alter forest CCC.  We have been working across several landscapes to quantify the effects of projected climate and wildfire on forest carbon dynamics and the potential for management to mit

Natural Hazard Mitigation Plans (NHMP) and Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) both benefit communities striving to reduce risk to natural hazards. Though one plan is focused on the wildfire hazard and other is focused on multi-natural hazards, the requirements of what needs to be in the plans are similar.

This webinar will go through some of the new and exciting fundamental research being conducted by the Forest Service at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory. About half of the Forest Service budget is spent on fire suppression, yet we still can’t explain exactly how wildland fires spread.
