SUMMARY:An Indigenous framework to guide research and restoration in fire-adapted landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Worldwide\, Indigenous peoples are leading the revitalization of their/our cultures through the restoration of ecosystems in which they are embedded\, including in response to increasing “megafires.” Yet\, despite growing recognition that just and effective conservation is only possible through partnerships with\, or led by\, Indigenous peoples\, decolonizing approaches to restoration have received insufficient attention. Further\, reconciliation will be incomplete without Indigenous-led restoration of Indigenous lands\, knowledges\, and cultures. In this webinar\, we will introduce the concept of “walking on two legs” to guide restoration scientists and practitioners in advancing the interconnected processes of Indigenous-led restoration and reconciliation in Indigenous territories. As an action-oriented framework articulated by Secwépemc Elder Ronald E. Ignace\, “walking on two legs” seeks to bring Indigenous knowledges into balance with western scientific knowledge in service of upholding an Indigenous stewardship ethic that is embedded in Indigenous ways of relating to land and embodies principles of respect\, reciprocity\, and responsibility. Grounding our discussion in the context of fire-adapted ecosystems of western Canada and unceded and traditional Secwépemc territory\, Secwepemcúl̓ecw\, we will share two case studies of collaborative and Indigenous-led research and restoration to demonstrate how “walking on two legs” provides a pathway to uphold respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples\, knowledges\, and territories through Indigenous-led restoration. \nPresenters: Marianne Ignace\,  Director\, Indigenous Languages Program and First Nations Language Centre\, Simon Fraser University \nSarah Disckson-Hoyle\, PhD candidate and Public Scholar\, Faculty of Forestry\, University of British Columbia

SUMMARY:Lightning fire occurrence prediction: Modelling for operational use
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWotton\, Canadian Forest Service\, explains lightning fire ignition and the important processes that determine the day-to-day variation of this important source of summertime fire activity in Canada. This presentation is for both academic and operational audiences in Canada’s wildfire community. \nExamples from models developed and used in Ontario’s fire occurrence prediction system were provided as well as some comparisons to similar model development in other regions of the country. Reviewing the history and operational use of these models in Ontario provides useful examples of the challenges and opportunities (and ultimately the long-term investment required) in getting research into operational use in wildland fire management. \n

SUMMARY:Westwide Fuel Assessment: June 2022 (S3 E3 of Reading the Tea Leaves)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe cool wet spring across much of the northwestern US has created a sea of cheatgrass that has improved fuelbed continuity and fuel loading\, often exceeding 200 percent of normal. As a result we expect the potential for grass driven wildfires\, especially in the Snake River Plain\, eastern Washington\, northwestern Nevada and northeastern California to be at least average to considerably above average.

SUMMARY:Denver water and US Forest Service spent over $60 million to protect Denver's water supply. Did it work?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar presents research which provides insight on how the economic returns from proactive wildfire mitigation could be improved. The research team produced an economic assessment of Denver’s Forests to Faucets partnership\, a collaboration which invested >$60 million in wildfire mitigation projects between 2011 and 2019. The research\, combining wildfire modeling\, sediment modeling\, and primary and secondary data on economic values\, quantified the impact of the actual investments on multiple values at risk. Large benefits to source water protection and other values at risk resulted from these proactive investments but the benefits only exceed the costs of funding wildfire mitigation under certain conditions.

SUMMARY:Structural damage from wildfires in WUI communities
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDestructive wildfires are now a real threat in regions across the country and beyond what was once considered as the fire season\, examples of which are the 2016 Gatlinburg Fire in the Southeast and the 2021 Marshall Fire in late December. Existing wildfire risk assessment procedures typically use simulation modeling to quantify the wildfire exposure to wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities\, but rely on subjective estimates of the susceptibility of structures to fire in order to quantify risk. Thus\, there is a need to better understand and characterize the effectiveness of different mitigation actions related to individual structure features and community layout on the resilience of a WUI community to fire. This presentation discusses findings from the analyses of past wildfire events and introduces a streamlined model to capture fire spread inside WUI communities to quantify structural damage. The proposed model can be used to guide mitigation actions in existing and new communities\, and inform preparedness and response strategies by evaluating the likelihood of successful suppression based on the rate of fire spread.

SUMMARY:Engaging Indigenous communities in climate resilience research
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: This presentation discusses a partnership between the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT) in northern Nevada and a team of university-based scientists. The research team engaged PLPT stakeholder groups through workshops\, interviews\, and focus groups to understand how climate change and upstream pressures threaten PLPT ecosystems\, lands\, and resources. Stakeholders emphasized that climate change planning must be grounded in and informed by Indigenous knowledge practices and protocols\, in conjunction with decolonizing approaches to climate adaptation research that returns agency to the PLPT. \nPresenters: Schuyler Chew is Mohawk Wolf clan from Six Nations Grand River and grew up on the Tuscarora Nation. As an environmental scientist\, he is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities on climate adaptation research. His dissertation research on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe’s resilience to climate change was funded in part by the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center.\nKarletta Chief (Diné) is an Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Arizona\, and is also the Director of the Indigenous Resilience Center (IRC). As an Extension Specialist\, she works to bring relevant water science to Native American communities in a culturally sensitive manner\, and at the IRC she aims to facilitate efforts of UArizona climate/environment researchers\, faculty\, staff\, and students working with Native Nations to build resiliency to climate impacts and environmental challenges.

SUMMARY:Returning fire to the land: Stewardship through traditional practices of the Séliš\, Qĺispé and Ksanka
DESCRIPTION:View video (7:05). \nFor thousands of years\, the vast majority of fires on the land were intentionally set by Indigenous Peoples of this region for a variety of reasons. Today\, on the Flathead Reservation in Western Montana\, the Division of Fire of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes’ Forestry Department is reclaiming a traditional relationship with fire on the landscape. Hear from the team about this work and how these fire dependent landscapes benefit from this holistic approach.

SUMMARY:Our future with fire: Barriers and opportunities for fire stewardship
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: In this webinar\, Kira Hoffman will describe some of the factors that have contributed to the recent impactful wildfire seasons experienced in British Columbia in the last five years. She will discuss some of the barriers to applying controlled fire to the broader landbase and the importance of supporting Indigenous-led fire stewardship. \n​Presenter: Kira Hoffman is a fire ecologist and former wildland firefighter. Hoffman’s research focuses on how humans have used fire for millennia to manage and enhance their natural surroundings. In concert with Indigenous and local ecological knowledge\, she uses western science to better understand how present-day forests have been shaped by stewardship techniques such as burning and how ongoing fire suppression has eroded the resiliency of landscapes and human communities. From field expeditions sampling fire-scarred trees to historical photograph interpretation and remote sensing imagery\, her methods also integrate a range of disciplines including dendrochronology\, botany\, and archaeology. Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of British Columbia\, she is passionate about linking knowledge to action through science communication and supporting Indigenous-led solutions to environmental problems.

SUMMARY:Outdoor recreation and anthropogenic wildfire as exemplified through the San Juan NF
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFederally owned public lands\, originally designated to properly manage natural resources\, are prone to wildfire in the southern Rocky Mountains\, a risk which has increased as a result of environmental conditions and historical land management. Outdoor recreation has become increasingly prevalent since the twentieth century\, providing greater access to fire-prone lands. Using San Juan National Forest as the study site\, this presentation explores research analyzing the influence outdoor recreation and human access have on anthropogenic wildfire occurrence and size in the southern Rocky Mountains. GIS methodologies and statistical analysis demonstrate the impact designated outdoor recreation locations have on anthropogenic wildfires\, giving insight into specific usage patterns that result in human-caused wildfire ignitions.

SUMMARY:Fire and humans in resilient ecosystems of the American SW
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: In the southwestern US humans and ecosystems share a history of fire. Here\, contemporary ecological patterns and processes that are thought to be natural may be highly influenced by past human land use legacies\, at millennial time scales. The Jemez Mountains of central New Mexico provide a landscape laboratory rich in archaeological\, ethnographic\, and ecological data sets\, within which to study the reciprocal\, long-term interactions of humans and fire. Evidence from tree-rings\, fire scars\, and charcoal sediments suggests that prior to the 20th century\, southwestern pine forests sustained frequent\, low-severity surface fires. During a period of dense occupation in the 13th and 14th centuries\, land and resource use may have significantly influenced forest structure\, fuel properties\, ignitions\, and landscape fire dynamics. We developed complex spatial models\, informed by rich archaeological\, ethnographic\, and dendroarchaeological data sets\, to examine how plausible scenarios of human activities influenced forests and fire regimes ca. 1200-1900 CE. We found that prehistoric populations influenced forest and fire patterns at broad spatial scales\, with feedbacks that maintained ecological resilience. Our results highlight the complexity and extent of long-term human-environment interactions and can be used as a comparative framework within which to evaluate the significance of contemporary and predicted anthropogenic impacts on landscapes and ecosystems. \nPresenter: Rachel Loehman is a landscape and fire ecologist with the US Geological Survey. Her research focuses on the role of natural and anthropogenic disturbances in shaping ecological patterns and processes. Her current research projects include developing strategies for enhancing ecosystem and forest resilience to changing climate and disturbance regimes (western U.S.) and monitoring and modeling fire impacts to archaeological resources (southwestern U.S.).

SUMMARY:Effective communication about wildfire management:  Observations from 20 years of fire social science research
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: Sarah McCaffrey \nDescription: Fire management in the United States is currently facing numerous challenges. While many of these challenges involve questions about how to increase pace and scale of fuels treatments and adapt to longer\, sometimes year-round\, fire seasons and more frequent extreme fires\, there is also a need to adapt wildfire communication efforts to changing fire management needs and practices. This presentation will discuss insights from two decades of fire social science research about a range of topics to consider in improving wildfire communication including issues with conflation of language (prevention is not mitigation)\, when more rather than less complex explanations may be merited\, and the need to account for how fire fits in everyday lives. The presentation will draw from general Communication\, Natural Hazards\, and Risk Communication theory\, as well as specific fire social science research findings\, about topics and approaches that are more or less likely to resonate with the public.

SUMMARY:Collective action for wildfire risk reduction across land ownerships in the West
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nOver the past decade\, government policies and programs to incentivize “all-lands approaches” to reducing wildfire risk have emerged that call for collective action among diverse public\, private\, and Tribal landowners who share fire-prone landscapes. This presentation draws on research from Oregon and California to offer insights into what collective action looks like\, when it is desirable\, and how to promote it to increase the resilience of fire-prone forests.

SUMMARY:Farming native seed for the future: Considering evolutionary potential and ecological function
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Agricultural seed production is needed to meet ambitious restoration goals\, which will require more seeds than can be harvested from wild populations. However\, there may be direct conflicts between traits that are favorable in conventional agriculture and those that are adaptive in restoration settings\, which could have long-lasting impacts on restored communities. Here\, we review some of these evolutionary and ecological conflicts and suggest research directions needed to meld the needs of agriculturalists and restoration practitioners. Partnerships between ecologists\, engineers\, breeders\, and growers are essential to develop best practices for providing seeds for successful native species restoration. \nPresenters:\nAlison Agneray has ten years of experience executing long-range research and monitoring programs across the Western United States. She is currently a PhD candidate working with Dr. Beth Leger at the University of Nevada Reno to optimize seed mixes used to restore degraded habitats in North America’s Great Basin Desert. \nOwen Baughman is a Restoration Scientist with The Nature Conservancy of Oregon\, USA\, and has worked to understand\, test\, and/or demonstrate new and innovative approaches to native plant restoration in North America’s sagebrush steppe. He earned an MS in Plant Ecology in 2014 from the University of Nevada Reno\, and a BS in Ecology and Conservation Biology in 2010 from the University of Idaho.
