SUMMARY:First Nations wildfire evacuations- A guide for communities and external agencies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: Henok W. Asfaw\, Postdoc and Project Manager for the First Nations Wildfire Evacuation Partnership Project\, University of Alberta \nDescription: This webinar presents results of research carried out as part of the First Nation Wildfire evacuation partnership in Canada and was recently published in a book titled “First Nations Wildfire Evacuations: A Guide for Communities and External Agencies”. The book brings together residents’ wildfire evacuation experiences drawn from seven case study First Nations communities in Alberta\, Saskatchewan and Ontario. This book is a way for us to share the research results to First Nations\, government agencies\, non-government organizations\, and host communities to reduce negative impacts of future wildfire evacuations. We also believe that the book would serve as a valuable guide for building community wildfire evacuation preparedness and response capacities not only for First Nations but also other Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. Based on research featured in the recent book First Nations Wildfire Evacuations\, A Guide for Communities and External Agencies\, by Dr. Tara K. McGee and Dr. Amy Cardinal Christianson; with the First Nations Wildfire Evacuation Partnership.

SUMMARY:Setting habitat priorities in a warming world: Lessons from WY
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2020\, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) on a North Central CASC supported project designed to help the agency incorporate climate change into their Statewide Habitat Plan (SHP) that was slated for an update that year. WGFD and WCS worked together to develop and apply a process for incorporating climate change into the SHP\, which included a participatory workshop\, a post-workshop Information Needs Survey\, and regular meetings throughout the year to translate findings from the workshop and survey into the updated SHP. \nAs a result of this project\, climate change was more extensively incorporated into the 2020 SHP relative to the previous version of the plan (completed in 2015). This included discussing climate change as a threat to achieving habitat protection and restoration for river\, riparian and wetland habitats\, as well as incorporating climate-informed management strategies and actions. The updated SHP also included climate change within the agency’s scoring system for allocating funding to habitat management projects. In addition to informing the SHP\, the project also helped WGFD identify management-relevant climate-related information needs that are considered highly useful to WGFD staff and their management efforts. This project offers a useful model to other agencies that are interested in incorporating climate change into management plans\, and to scientists and agencies looking to identify priority research needs related to climate change.

SUMMARY:Life from the ashes: Exploring the impact of Rx and natural fire on insects and other invertebrates
DESCRIPTION:Visit conference webpage. \nLife from the Ashes explored the positive and negative impacts of prescribed and natural fire related to insects and other invertebrates in landscapes across North America. The symposium provided research and practical insights to inform natural areas professionals as they manage landscapes with fire. \nThis program was provided in a collaboration between the Natural Areas Association (NAA) and the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation (Xerces). NAA serves those dedicated to the management and restoration of biologically important natural areas in North America. Xerces is an international nonprofit organization that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats. Protecting nature requires reliable science to inform practices on-the-ground and a network of stewards who work tirelessly to protect\, manage and restore land and water biodiversity.

SUMMARY:Fire refugia: Where and why do conifer forests persist through multiple fire events?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Changing wildfire regimes are causing rapid shifts in forests worldwide. In particular\, forested landscapes that burn repeatedly in relatively quick succession may be at risk of conversion when pre-fire vegetation cannot recover between fires. Fire refugia (areas that burn less frequently or severely than the surrounding landscape) support post-fire ecosystem recovery and the persistence of vulnerable species in fire-prone landscapes. Observed and projected fire-induced forest losses highlight the need to understand where and why forests persist in refugia through multiple fires. This research need is particularly acute in the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northwest California\, USA\, where expected increases in fire activity and climate warming may result in the loss of up to one-third of the region’s conifer forests\, which are the most diverse in western North America. We model the key controls on fire refugia occurrence and persistence through one\, two\, and three fire events over a 32-year period. Refugia that persisted through three fire events appeared to be partially entrained by landscape features that offered protection from fire\, suggesting that topographic variability may be an important stabilizing factor as forests pass through successive fire filters. Results from this study could inform management strategies designed to protect fire-resistant portions of biologically and topographically diverse landscapes. \nPresenter: Meg Krawchuk\, Oregon State University

SUMMARY:Wildfire in the western US: Causes\, consequences\, and adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: A panel of experts will discuss why wildfires are on the rise\, the role of climate change\, the predicted fate of future forests\, and ways that at-risk communities can adapt. Large fires are becoming more frequent and severe across the western US. Since 1984\, annual burned forest area has increased by about 1\,100%. Lives\, property\, and livelihoods are routinely threatened and burned landscapes can be left ecologically transformed. What is causing recent trends in fire activity? What will forests of the future look like? How can modeling wildfires and forest response guide adaptation strategies? These are among the questions to be explored. Panelists will also discuss the importance of tailoring fire and forest management to the local context\, considering regionally specific factors like forest type\, environmental conditions\, and the presence of people. \nPanelists: Forest ecologist Winslow Hansen (Cary Institute)\, Fire ecologist Phil Higuera (University of Montana)\, and Natural resource sociologist Catrin Edgeley (Northern Arizona University).

SUMMARY:The buildup and the blowup
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nConflagrations like the 1871 Peshtigo have reemerged as important threats across North America and around the world. Understanding the factors and the phenomena that produced the fire environment of that day is possible because of weather observations collected and recorded at the time and studies of extreme fire behavior that continue to this day. Recounting it should be a cautionary tale for our lives as we continue to live them.

SUMMARY:Land use planning as a strategy for fire adapted communities
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: As communities across the U.S. face increasing threats from wildfire\, there is also a growing interest in land use planning as a strategy to reduce risk and foster more resilient outcomes. Land use planning provides a variety of tools\, such as growth management plans\, subdivision regulations\, or wildland-urban interface (WUI) codes that can be applied in wildfire-prone areas. These tools can support public safety and emergency response\, direct growth away from high hazard areas\, and can complement other fire adapted activities such as vegetation management. However\, selecting the appropriate tools and integrating them with other approaches often takes consideration of many factors—such as existing state requirements\, potential shifts in demographic and development patterns\, political will\, and enforcement capacity. This webinar will provide a brief history of planning in the WUI for context\, and highlight different planning tools and implementation strategies available to state and local governments—including examples from across the West. \nPresenter: Molly Mowery\, AICP\, Executive Director\, Community Wildfire Planning Center
