The Ashland Forest Resiliency (AFR) team will be hosting a Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) May 9-21, 2016. The intent of this training is to provide opportunities for local and regional firefighters, scientists and managers to work and train together, build their experience in prescribed fire practices, fire effects, and other conservation efforts affecting forest
The Lucky Peak Nursery, managed by the USDA Forest Service in Boise, ID, has been producing dryland shrubs for almost sixty years for restoration plantings on public lands throughout the Great Basin. The clients provide the seed for the production of the one-year seedlings.
Please join us for this exciting joint meeting where scientists will share their research on the ecological and cultural aspects of fire and landscapes at Central Oregon Fire Science Symposium and the Northwest Science Association.
The Oregon Prescribed Fire Council's annual meeting will be held February 8th and 9th in Corvallis in room 236 at the "old" Peavy Hall on the Oregon State University campus.

This 1.5 day workshop will explore key questions surrounding riparian area management in a fire-prone environment.
Fire can change the quality of habitat for many taxonomic groups, including butterflies. The abundance of nectar-producing plants, and the volume and concentration of the nectar in those plants, peaks in the initial years following a fire.
Please join Ryan Haugo, Senior Forest Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy & Paul Hessburg, Research Landscape Ecologist with the USDA Forest Service for a joint webinar on Restoring fire-prone Inland Pacific landscapes: Seven core principles / Applying principles of landscape restoration within the eastern Cascades.
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.
On March 30-31, Sustainable Northwest will host the Region 6 Forest Collaboratives Workshop in Hood River, Oregon. The event will be the first time all thirty-three forest collaboratives across Oregon and Washington come together to share knowledge and lessons learned, and advance solutions to common challenges.
A number of recent studies in the Southwest region have documented abrupt transitions of conifer-dominated forests to shrubfields following high-severity fire. Little is known about the long-term ecosystem dynamics of these stands, including their successional trajectories and interactions with fire.
