Wildfire risk and mitigation opportunities in the US sagebrush biome (and more seminars from RMRS Fire Lab)

In 2024, there were five Thursdays in February. To celebrate this rare event, the Fire Lab is hosting a series of five seminars that highlight new tools and research for managers. The “February Five” will occur during our regularly scheduled seminar series timeslot – Thursdays at 11am Mountain Time. Please join us on Teams.
