SUMMARY:Fire science and management in an uncertain future: Tools and approaches for managing fire in future climates in the SW
DESCRIPTION:View workshop recording.  \nRead workshop summary. \nWorkshop purpose: Identify fire science and management needs and discuss tools and approaches to natural resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in Southwest (DOI Regions 8 & 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]) bioregions. \nTake-Aways:\nProvide awareness of tools needed for decision-making in an uncertain future\nGenerate a list of new science actions to meet fire needs for practitioners/planners in future\, non-analog landscapes and communities\nSuggest how we might address and accomplish these identified needs going forward\nExchange Information\nMake connections \nThis four-hour\, virtual Summit was an abbreviated\, rescheduled version of ‘Building Bridges and Solutions: Partners in Facing Fire-Science Challenges’ that was cancelled in April due to COVID-19. We assembled scientists and fire practitioners/leaders in an interagency effort to identify fire science and management needs and to discuss decision-making tools and approaches that address resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in the Southwest (Department of Interior [DOI] Regions 8 and 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]). This overriding goal threaded together the Summit’s talks\, Q&A\, and break-out sessions. Speakers from various agencies\, institutes\, and academia focused on fire management and planning in future non-analog landscapes and climate-fire-ecosystem impact relationships in western forest (e.g.\, mixed-conifer\, subalpine)\, desert (hot and cold\, grassland\, pinyon-juniper\, sage-steppe)\, and Mediterranean/chaparral bioregions. Syntheses from talks\, Mentimeter-conducted discussions\, and break-out groups on management and actionable-science needs will be summarized in a white paper and posted on the Southwest\, Great Basin\, and California Fire Science Exchange websites. Let’s work together to address fire science and management in an uncertain future!

SUMMARY:Thinking about adaptation: Exploring the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nEcosystems are transforming under climate change\, with substantial shifts in ecological processes and important ecosystem services occurring at unprecedented rates. As systems approach socio-economic and ecological thresholds\, our current management toolbox has proved to be incomplete for conservation and the sustainable provision of ecosystem services\, including fisheries production and the wildlife habitat. Multiple approaches are therefore needed to address the varying uncertainties we face in this increasingly non-stationary world. Managers navigating ecosystem transformation can benefit from considering broader objectives beyond a traditional focus on resisting ecosystem change\, by also considering whether accepting change or directing it along a preferred pathway might be more appropriate (RAD framework).

SUMMARY:Evaluating rural PNW towns for wildfire evacuation vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Wildfire is an annual threat for many rural communities in the Pacific Northwest. In some severe events\, evacuation is one potential course of action to gain safety from an advancing wildfire. Since most evacuations occur in a personal vehicle along the surrounding road network\, the quality of this network is a critical component of a community’s vulnerability to wildfire. This webinar details a regional-scale screening of wildfire evacuation vulnerability that was completed for 696 Oregon and Washington rural towns. \nSpeaker: Alex Dye\, Oregon State University

SUMMARY:Assessment of early implementation of the USFS Shared Stewardship Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2018\, in response to calls from Congress to accelerate cross-boundary fire hazard reduction and improve forest resilience\, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) published the Shared Stewardship Strategy (USFS 2018). The document emphasizes partnership with the states\, Tribes\, and collaborative partners in order to identify priority areas for management\, coordinate work across jurisdictions\, and leverage diverse capacities. Key aspects of the\nStrategy are as follows: 1) working with states to set priorities\, particularly through State Forest Action Plans (SFAPs)\, share in the ownership of risks presented by fire\, and coordinate planning and action; 2) using a suite of scientific tools to model and map fire risk\, largely through Scenario Investment Planning processes (Ager et al. 2019)\, to identify the most strategic places to invest in forest management; 3) utilizing tools such as the Good Neighbor Authority (GNA)\, stewardship contracts\, and categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to facilitate and accelerate forest management work; and 4) pursuing other related goals\, such as working with stakeholders to develop outcome-based performance indicators\, streamline internal agency processes\, and expand the use of risk management principles in fire management.

SUMMARY:Effectiveness of restoration treatments for reducing fuels and increasing
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar shares research on forest structure and understory vegetation responses to three restoration treatments (thin/burn\, burn\, and control) over 10 years on a mixed-conifer site in southwestern Colorado. Forest density\, canopy cover\, and crown fuel loads were consistently lower\, and crown base height was higher\, in thin/burn than burn or controls\, but the effects diminished over time. There was more than a 250% increase post-treatment in shrub density and an increase in the average shrub height. Taken together\, these conditions create challenges for managers aiming to reestablish natural fire patterns and sustain mixed-conifer forests. The second part of the webinar will be a dialog with managers about how common these results are across the region and how to respond to the challenge presented by the increase potential for crown fire.
