SRM is a society for the land- – and for the people who love the land. We encompass all perspectives of the rangeland community and those who are passionate about the health and stewardship of rangelands.
More than $3 million is available for Eastern Washington forest landowners to promote forest health, reduce impacts of wildfire.

Hosted by the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, USDA Forest Service, and many others, this two-part virtual workshop will focus on advancing wildlife management relating to fire in the Southwest. It will be the first in a yearlong series of webinars and workshops.
In wildland–urban interface areas, firefighters balance wildfire suppression and structure protection. These tasks are often performed under resource limitations, especially when many structures are at risk. To address this problem, wildland firefighters employ a process called “structure triage” to prioritize structure protection based on perceived defensibility.
Methods and models to design, prioritize and evaluate fuel break networks have potential application in many fire-prone ecosystems where major increases in fuel management investments are planned in response to growing incidence of wildfires.
Scaling up climate-adaptation in wildfire-prone watersheds requires innovative partnerships and funding. Water utilities are one stakeholder group that could play a role in these efforts. The overarching purpose of this study was to understand water utility engagement in wildfire mitigation efforts in the western United States.
Detailed information about the historical range of variability in wildfire activity informs adaptation to future climate and disturbance regimes. Here, we describe one of the first annually resolved reconstructions of historical (1500–1900 ce) fire occurrence in coast Douglas-fir dominated forests of the west slope of the Cascade Range in western Oregon.
Historically, wildfire and tribal burning practices played important roles in shaping ecosystems throughout the Klamath Siskiyou Bioregion of northern California and southern Oregon.
