SUMMARY:Interagency coordination to meet multiple objectives: An effective approach to wildfire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nWhile the number of acres burned annually by uncharacteristic wildfire continues to grow\, it is becoming exceedingly important for agencies to identify opportunities to use wildfire to meet multiple land management and resource objectives.  When conditions allow for unplanned ignitions to be managed for one or more of these objectives\, it may be appropriate to use wildfire during the peak of the traditional fire season.  Management response to wildland fire on federal lands is based on objectives established in the applicable Land/Resource Management Plan and/or Fire Management Plan.  Objectives are affected by changes in fuels\, weather\, topography; varying social understanding and tolerance; and involvement of other governmental jurisdictions having different missions and objectives.  Coordination with resource specialists and development of mutually agreed to objectives is fundamental to being successful in achieving land and resource objectives with wildfire.  This webinar discusses recommendations for implementing this process using case studies incorporating Mexican spotted owl management objectives into wildfire management and post-fire monitoring. Presented by Shaula Hedwall\, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Wesley Hall\, Coconino National Forest.

SUMMARY:Effect of fuels management\, previous wildfire\, and fire weather on Rim Fire severity
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nLarge wildfire incidence has increased in forests throughout the western U.S. following changes in vegetation structure and pattern\, along with a changing climate. Given this increase there is great interest in whether fuels treatments and previous wildfire can alter fire severity patterns in large wildfires. The 255\,000 acre 2013 Rim Fire created an opportunity to study fuels treatment effects across a large forested landscape in the Sierra Nevada. We assessed the relative influence of previous fuels treatments (including wildfire)\, fire weather\, vegetation and water balance on Rim Fire severity. We did this at three different spatial scales to investigate whether the influences on fire severity changed across scales.

SUMMARY:Where there's smoke . . . there's social science! Public perceptions of smoke & communication from multiple regions
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThis Joint Fire Science Program project used a case-study approach to examine what influenced smoke perceptions and to experiment with possible communication strategies. Key findings regarding smoke perceptions include the influence of the source of fire smoke\, the perceived trade-offs of risk vs. benefits from smoke\, and how respondents view smoke and fuel reduction activities. Observations on communication strategies and suggestions for future interactions with both the public and within agencies will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Integrating natural hazard mitigation plans into local planning
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nLocal plans\, such as the comprehensive plan\, economic development plan\, and transportation plan\, establish policies that are intended to guide a community’s day-to-day land use decisions and capital facilities expenditures. These policies have a major impact on whether people and property are exposed to natural hazards as well as the extent to which they are vulnerable to injury and damage. Therefore\, it is imperative that these policies are based on best available hazard data\, including the nature of local hazards\, the vulnerability of people and property\, and the potential destruction that can be caused by these hazards. This hazard data is the foundation on which natural hazard mitigation plans are developed. \nJoin the FEMA Region 10 Mitigation Planning Team and guest speakers as they look at opportunities for integration\, review examples\, and identify resources to integrate plans into local plans.

SUMMARY:Returning fire to the land: Celebrating traditional knowledge and fire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nIn this webinar\, Frank Lake\, Research Ecologist with the Pacific Southwest Research Station will present findings from workshops held in 2012 and 2014 to investigate how traditional and western knowledge can be used to enhance wildland fire and fuels management and research. The workshops engaged tribal members\, managers\, and researchers to identify challenges and formulate solutions regarding cross-jurisdictional work\, fuel reduction strategies\, and wildland fire management and research involving lands important to tribes. A key conclusion from the workshops is that successful management of wildland fire and fuels requires collaborative partnerships that share traditional and western fire knowledge through culturally sensitive consultation\, coordination\, and communication for building trust. Dr. Lake will present a framework for developing these partnerships based on workshop discussions.

SUMMARY:Federal fire managers' perceptions of the importance\, scarcity\, and substitutability of suppression resources
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nIn the United States\, multi-jurisdictional fire suppression demand is met by a national-scale pool of suppression resources that come from a variety of jurisdictions and provide a wide range of skills\, experience\, and associated mobility limitations and logistical needs. We designed and implemented an online survey of U.S. Forest Service employees who hold direct or indirect responsibility for ordering suppression resources; our main research objective was to identify the field’s perceptions of resource importance\, scarcity\, and substitutability. Importantly\, we asked questions to help distinguish between resources that are high value\, scarce\, and without substitutes versus ones that are low value\, readily available\, and highly substitutable. We hypothesized that resource ordering patterns change with elevated resource scarcity and that\, because of this\, true resource demand and frequent resource associations and substitutions are not reflected in dispatch summary reports. In this webinar\, we will present an overview of our survey results\, including future research and analysis plans. Additionally\, we will relate the discussion back to firefighter risk\, exposure\, and risk transfer themes. \nCrystal Stonesifer\, USDA Forest Service\, Rocky Mountain Research Station\, Human Dimensions\, presents.

SUMMARY:Informing recovery through mitigation planning
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nA key goal of both hazard mitigation and recovery is increasing resilience. Although these two activities differ in many respects\, this shared objective of increased resilience allows mitigation and recovery planning to reinforce one another and leverage greater benefits within the development of plans\, and programs or projects. Because both mitigation and recovery planning can be carried out pre-disaster\, there is generally ample time to coordinate activities and promote more widespread attention to resilience. \nJoin the FEMA Region 10 Mitigation and Recovery Planning Team\, and guest speakers as they review opportunities for integration\, review examples\, and identify resources.

SUMMARY:Climate\, megafires\, and conservation financing
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nJoin Climate Science for a discussion on how climatic changes can influence wildland fire activity across the globe and how these critical fire weather variables have changed over the last 40 years. \nThese changes in key weather variables have combined to both lengthen the fire season and increase the fire weather severity within the fire season. With more area burned each year\, the Forest Service is exploring innovate ways to finance conservation and restoration work. The Blue Forest Conservation’s Forest Resilience Bond invests in restoration projects that protect forest health\, mitigating both wildfire and drought risk. Contracting with both public and private beneficiaries to monetize the multifaceted benefits of forest restoration\, the Forest Resilience Bond creates value for a diverse set of stakeholders (including the US Forest Service\, water and electric utilities\, private water-dependent companies\, state governments\, and insurance companies).

SUMMARY:Examining the role of human dimensions thinking in landscape conservation planning
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nOne of the greatest challenges facing landscape conservation is how to ensure ecosystem-wide conservation goals\, such as those articulated in Landscape Conservation Designs\, can effectively inform local management plans and actions. Developing feasible conservation goals and useful landscape planning products requires participation by local stakeholders. However\, opportunities for these  stakeholders to engage in planning processes are often limited. This webinar will examine the role of local stakeholders and human dimensions thinking in transboundary resource conservation. Catherine Doyle-Capitman\, Doctoral Candidate at Cornell University\, will highlight the role of local stakeholders in bridging the gap between conservation planning and management implementation. She will then present best practice guidance for engaging local stakeholders and integrating social data into landscape conservation decision processes.

SUMMARY:The role of insects and diseases in aspen biology
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nIn part due to its vegetative strategy\, western aspen is host to a large number of insects and diseases. However\, only a few are agents of significant impact that can cause or warn of substantial changes in the condition of aspen clones. Environmental conditions\, particularly drought stress\, also play an integral role in the life cycle of the important insects and diseases of aspen\, and regional droughts were the triggering factor in the initiation of the most notable instances of substantial aspen dieback and decline.

SUMMARY:Collaborative spatial planning using the Great Basin LCC's Conservation Planning Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nThe GBLCC Conservation Planning Atlas (CPA) is an important aspect of our effort to engage a landscape focus and best available science toward improving collaboration and maximizing conservation efforts in the Great Basin. Incorporating over 1000 spatial data layers related to conservation of the Great Basin region’s many natural and cultural  resources\, the CPA provides managers\, researchers and planners from state\, federal\, local\, NGO and private partners a valuable suite of tools for collaborative spatial planning. In short\, the portal represents a single website to access regional spatial layers\, decision support tools\, and Great Basin LCC project information and products. \nGBLCC’s Geospatial Data Specialist\, Eric Jensen will be joined by Conservation Biology Institute’s Kai Henifin to share about the CPA. Together we will dive into navigation of the portal\, data\, tools and publications available\, and the Data Basin suite of collaborative features—such as Groups\, sharing and comment threads. Finally\, we’ll explore current use cases and share information about how you or your group can leverage the CPA for your own projects and planning.

SUMMARY:2018 Webinar Series: Managing cheatgrass by putting what we know into practice
DESCRIPTION:View flyer. \nConversion of native rangelands to cheatgrass\, and subsequent impacts on wildfire regimes\, are one of the most challenging threats to sagebrush ecosystems today. The widespread and complex nature of the problem and lack of clarity on effective management actions are often barriers to implementing meaningful treatments and practices to reduce risks. Although there is no silver bullet\, combining cheatgrass reduction treatments with promotion or restoration of perennial vegetation in an integrated\, adaptive management framework can move the needle toward maintenance and recovery of functioning ecosystems. This webinar series will provide information on integrated management approaches using specific strategies and proven tools. \nThe series covered the following topics and featured the following presenters\, follow the links to the webinar recordings: \n3/8 – Cheatgrass control methods and their impacts on perennial grasses: A systematic review spanning 64 years (Tom Monaco\, ARS)\nCheatgrass control_Webinar\nCheatgrass control_Summary \n4/4 – Herbicides for cheatgrass: What works? (Richard Lee\, BLM)\nHerbicides_Webinar\nHerbicides_ Summary \n4/11 – Grazing to maintain perennial grasses and reduce nonnative annuals (Kirk Davies\, ARS)\nGrazingWeeds_Webinar\nGrazingWeeds_Summary \n4/25 – Capitalizing on strategic opportunities: Examples from the field (Brian Mealor\, UW and Mike Pellant\, BLM-retired)\nStrategies_Webinar\nStrategies_Summary \n5/9 – Ecologically Based Invasive Plant Management (EBIPM): Lessons from the area-wide demonstration project (Roger Sheley\, ARS)\nEBIPM_Webinar\nEBIPM_Summary \nBrought to you by the Great Basin Fire Science Exchange\, in partnership with the USDA/NRCS\, Sage Grouse Initiative\, BLM\, ARS\, and FS.

SUMMARY:Cheatgrass control methods and their impacts on perennial grasses: A systematic review of 64 years
DESCRIPTION:View recording. \nRead webinar brief. \nReducing cheatgrass has been a primary research topic and goal of ecological restoration for over 50 years. Our work examined published studies between 1946 and 2012 to identify how a broad range of control methods influence cheatgrass and perennial grass abundance. Based on this assessment\, we identify obstacles encountered in achieving desired restoration and clarify what research is needed to develop improved mechanistic control strategies. Jeremy Maestas\, Ecologist\, USDA-NRCS\, and Tom Monaco\, Ecologist at USDA-ARS and USU\, present. \nThis webinar is the first in our 2018 Webinar Series: Moving the Needle on Cheatgrass: Putting What We Know into Practice.

SUMMARY:Fuel treatment effectiveness in the southern Blue Mountains of Oregon
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nWhile fuel treatments in the dry conifer forests of the inland western U.S. are effective at reducing wildfire spread and severity at the stand-level\, how effective are they at changing wildfire activity at the landscape scale? And will current management practices be sufficient as forests and climate change over the next century? Brooke Cassell presents the results of her recently-defended dissertation on the effects of fuel treatments in the southern Malheur National Forest and surrounding landscape. This study used a dynamic forest landscape model to compare alternative management strategies’ effects on wildfire activity under contemporary and extreme weather scenarios.
