Following the success of the first WTREX last fall, women and men will again explore the growing role of women in fire management, while conducting prescribed fire operations designed to advance their formal qualifications in wildland fire management and enhance their understanding of fire ecology and effects, communications and outreach, prescribed fire policy and planning, and more.
Presentation info: In many California forests, the post-fire regeneration period represents an important opportunity for forest communities to respond to changing environmental conditions, including changes in climate.
Pre-conference events will also take place February 24-27.

The theme of the second annual workshop is “Making a Difference–Building Capacity, Improving Preparedness, and Learning from Experience.” IAWF is presenting the workshop in partnership with WFLC and the Western, Southeast and Northeast Regional Strategy Committees.
Drought creates the potential for invasive plant species to increase in diversity and abundance in a variety of ecosystems, often mediated by the occurrence of disturbances (wildfire, insect outbreaks). Because the frequency and magnitude of droughts will increase in a warmer climate, scientific information on drought effects is needed to inform management and pl
FEMA Region 10 supports 271 tribes of which many have proactively developed a tribal mitigation plan. Tribal mitigation planning provides the framework for a multidisciplinary approach to natural hazards risk reduction.
This webinar is co-hosted by LANDFIRE and members of the Joint Fire Science Program: Great Basin Fire Science, Southwest Fire Science, and Northern Rockies Fire Science. Content will address challenges that managers of large landscapes deal with in these regions.
Becoming a fire-adapted community that can live with wildfire is envisioned as a continuous, iterative process of adaptation. We combined national and case study research to examine how experience with wildfire alters the built environment and community- and government-level wildfire mitigation, planning, and regulations.
This webinar presents an overview of RFPAs, which are unique partnerships wherein ranchers and the BLM work together to suppress rangeland wildfires. Using four case studies in Oregon and Idaho, Emily Jane Davis, Oregon State University, discusses the value and outcomes of this approach, as well as challenges and future implications for fire adaptation on the range.
