SUMMARY:Navigating treatment data: Choosing the right dataset for your needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFor more information on the presenters and to access a fact sheet about the tools that will be discussed\, please visit https://fireecology.org/calendar-entries/navigating-treatment-data-may-2026 \nThere is a growing demand for high quality\, spatially explicit\, cross boundary treatment data including information on the type\, location\, age\, and ownership of fuel and vegetation treatments. This information is essential for reporting accomplishments and understanding fuel treatment effectiveness in reducing wildfire risk to values. Several platforms now offer cleaned and collated treatment data from disparate source databases. Researchers and practitioners need to understand the nuances between the different datasets; for example\, who can access the data\, what source data are used\, and which treatments are included or excluded. Understanding these differences and deciding which dataset best meets a user’s needs can be challenging. The goal of this webinar is to help users understand the similarities and differences between the primary aggregated treatment datasets available to them including the Integrated Interagency Fuel Treatment Service\, Fuel Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring\, GARP Hub\, TWIG\, and LANDFIRE’s Disturbance and Treatment Polygons. \nParticipants will leave the webinar with a general understanding of these datasets\, how to select a dataset based on their specific use case\, and where to go to learn more.

SUMMARY:Tree rings provide an important multi-century context for the current wildfire crisis
DESCRIPTION:More information and join link \nWildfires across the United States are growing larger and more intense\, threatening communities\, ecosystems\, and critical water supplies. But are these “megafires” truly unprecedented—or are they part of a longer natural pattern? \nIn this webinar\, USGS Research Ecologist Ellis Margolis shares how scientists are using tree rings to uncover the history of wildfire over hundreds of years. Drawing from the North American tree-ring fire scar network\, this research provides valuable context for understanding how current fire activity compares to the past. Findings reveal that while modern fires are not necessarily larger than those before 1900\, they are burning less frequently but with greater severity—especially in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Despite recent increases in wildfire activity\, many forests still experience a “fire deficit\,” meaning they are not burning as often as they historically did. \nThe webinar will also highlight practical solutions. Learn how land managers are using prescribed fire and managed wildfires to restore more natural fire patterns and build forest resilience in the face of multiple stressors.
