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.

Shrubs are ecosystem foundation species in most of the Great Basin's landscapes. Most of the species, including sagebrush, are poorly adapted to the changes in fire and invasive pressures that are compounded by climate change.

Global climate change will lead to shifts in climate patterns and fire regimes in the Southwest over coming decades. The intent of this webinar is to summarize the current state of scientific knowledge about climate change predictions in the Southwest as well as the pathways by which fire might be affected.

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.
