Are wildland fires good or bad for fish and their aquatic habitat? What kinds of restoration are most beneficial? We'll take an in-depth look into the state of the science, research gaps, and opportunities for future management coordination & priority setting.

Please join us to learn about fuel hazard reduction treatments and their relationship to fire hazards, chaparral ecology, birds, small mammals, & plant communities; tour a 10-year old fire/fire-surrogate study; and help build a decision support tool that focuses on these key questions: Should we treat or accept fuel hazard?
Overview: Rick Miller, Professor Emeritus of Range and Fire Ecology, OSU and Jennifer Moffitt, Soil Scientist, Prineville BLM will discuss tools to rapidly assess resilience to disturbance (ability of a treatment area to recover), resistance to invasive annuals, predict successional pathways, and determine the need and suitability for seeding on potential vegetation treatment areas and areas bu
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.
We are now accepting proposals for educational presentations for the 2016 Oregon Fire Prevention Workshop. We are interested in structural and wildland fire prevention and safety education topics. You may submit as many proposals as you wish, but only one proposal per web form.
This three-day workshop provides students with hands-on experience using satellite remote sensing data within ArcGIS 10.3 to better understan
The Northwestern US provides a high level of current and potential sequestration of greenhouse gases- and forests may be a solution to mitigating emissions and sequestering carbon. This 1½ day workshop will detail the environmental and economic costs and benefits of management alternatives for forestland managers.
This session will provide participants with information on trends in fire effects on watersheds, streams, and springs; offer tools to respond to these impacts before and after fires; and foster a discussion on next steps for restoration practitioners.
The 2016 Collaborative Restoration Workshop will be a forum for sharing innovative approaches to collaborative restoration, tools, and lessons about planning, implementing, and monitoring restoration efforts on and around National Forest System lands.
