Habitat Exchange is a new conservation program being developed by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and its partners in several states. The purpose of the Habitat Exchange is to protect, restore, and conserve habitat value for a variety of species and ecosystems.

Wildfire and Watersheds: Water, Wildlife Habitat & Community Stewardship.

This two-day course provides a foundation for developing and running state-and-transition simulation models of landscape vegetation change using the ST-Sim software (www.syncrosim.com).

Ponderosa pine forests in the southwestern U.S. have increased in density over the last 100 years which has dramatically increased the size and frequency of wildfires. Although wildfires rarely kill animals, they have immediate consequences to bat populations by drastically altering vegetation and thus roosting and foraging opportunities.

Space is limited, so register soon.

Objectives - This event is designed to create dialogue among scientists and managers and to put fire ecology research in the context of real-life limitations and situations that influence decision making and planning.

Find out what resources are available to help you keep your woods healthy, productive & resilient, so you don’t lose your property or home to wildfire. Join your local woodland conservation partners for a free educational forestry workshop.

SageSTEP scientists have now collected 6 years of post-treatment data on 20 sites throughout the Great Basin, and now have a fairly certain understanding of short-term vegetation response to fire and mechanical treatments on at about half of those sites.
