Biophysical Settings Review in the Great Basin: What it is. How it works. Why it matters.
LANDFIRE launched the current BpS Review project to ask for expert assistance in bringing the models and descriptions up-to-date.
Is science used to inform fire management and policy decisions?
This webinar will include recent science findings and a case study. Dr. Molly Hunter will present results from an assessment of outcomes from research projects funded by the Joint Fire Science Program to determine whether or not science has been used to inform management and policy decisions. Surveys and interviews explored factors that facilitate use of fire science.

Webinar Presentation Abstract
Forest Restoration Implementation Efficiencies Workshop
-
The Forest Restoration Implementation Efficiencies Workshop is a multi-day workshop to facilitate peer-to-peer learning among land managers, forest restoration industry and contractors, and collaborative stakeholders.
Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment Webinar
This webinar will review the objectives and progress of the multi-agency Fire and Smoke Modeling Experiment (FASMEE) project. The primary objective of FASMEE is to gather observational data needed to evaluate and advance fire and smoke modeling systems.
Western LCCs and Southwest Climate Science Center Joint Meeting
-
The State of California, LCCs for the Great Basin, California, Desert and North Pacific, and the Southwest Climate Science Center are hosting a joint gathering to foster state-wide collaboration on landscape-scale conservation. The aim is to understand how our work (individually and collectively) contributes to a broader conservation vision for the region.
Expanding the role of prescribed fire on CLFR landscapes
The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, which established the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program, asks that CFLR projects “Facilitate the reduction of wildfire management costs and risks, including through reestablishing natural fire regimes.”
Good fences, good neighbors? Coordination across property boundaries among private landowners
Coordinating land management across property boundaries is important in mixed-ownership forest landscapes because many forest health problems such as wildfire and invasive plants occur on scales larger than individual parcels. Despite the ecological importance of coordinated management, it is rare among private landowners.
