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.

SUMMARY:Frameworks for conservation action in the Great Plains and sagebrush biomes
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWorking Lands for Wildlife – the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s premier approach for conserving America’s working lands to benefit people\, wildlife and rural communities – is excited to share information on two\, action-based frameworks for conservation. The frameworks are the result of a multi-state planning effort and lay the foundation for the first biome-scale approach to wildlife conservation on working rangelands in grassland and sagebrush biomes. These efforts build on past achievements of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken and Sage Grouse Initiatives that together have partnered with more than 3\,200 ranchers and conserved 10.3 million acres of working rangelands. The framework approach is designed to increase conservation and restoration of rangelands by addressing major threats to rangeland health and through the implementation of conservation measures that limit soil disturbance\, support sustainable grazing management\, promote the strategic use of prescribed fire and support native grassland species. Together\, the frameworks leverage the power of voluntary\, win-win conservation solutions to benefit people and wildlife from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.

SUMMARY:Fieldwork from afar: Remote sensing tools to inventory fuels and fire behavior
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: The idea of using sensors to remotely measure things is not new. Aerial photos taken from hot air balloons were first proposed as a tool for mapping streets in the 1850s. In 1941\, a US Forest Service ranger developed a technique for mapping fuels with aerial photos. Recent advances in remote sensing have dramatically increased the amount of spatial information that can be generated for a given area. This webinar will look at some of the ways the Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team at the Seattle Fire Lab is using remote sensing to measure fuels and fire behavior. We’ll also discuss how this information can improve our capacity to model fires.\nPresenter: Jim Cronan is a forester at the Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Lab in Seattle\, WA. He coordinates field data collection for scientists on the Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team and has been involved with research on fuels and fire behavior for 20 years.

SUMMARY:3D fuel characterization for modeling of wildland fire behavior and smoke
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nRapid advancements in wildland fire modeling are promoting innovations in how we characterize and map wildland fuels. Before these models can be widely used\, more research on fuel characterization and mapping methods is needed to support3D model inputs. The 3D Fuels Project is characterizing surface and canopy fuels on pine-dominated sites in the southeastern and western United States and western grasslands that represent fuels commonly characterized for prescribed burning. Through this project\, researchers are developing a library of tools and datasets to leverage multi-scale estimates of 3D fuel structure and consumption that can be used directly within models of fire behavior and smoke production.

SUMMARY:Managing post-fire\, climate-induced vegetation transitions
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWarmer\, drier and longer fire seasons in the Northwest have led to larger and more frequent wildfires. These changes in fire activity\, combined with warmer and drier post-fire conditions\, have in turn led to growing concern that in some areas of the Northwest\, particularly in forests and shrublands east of the Cascade Range\, existing plant communities may face difficulty regrowing and persisting following fire.

SUMMARY:Pollinator-friendly plants for restoration
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPollinators are essential to the survival and health of natural ecosystems but are declining worldwide. Because of this\, there is urgent need to restore pollinators and the services they provide. One way to address this need is to use pollinator-friendly plants in revegetation projects (roadsides\, fire rehabilitation\, etc.)\, but land managers lack information about which plants are best for pollinators. RMRS and partners at Montana State University are assessing the pollinator-friendliness of native plant species that are available for revegetation in Montana to produce a guide identifying the best species mixes to support the greatest number of species and abundance of pollinators. We found that plant species vary widely in the abundance\, diversity\, and community of pollinator species that each attract. However\, several plant species are superstars that are visited by most pollinator species across a diversity of habitats. These focal-plant species can form a backbone in seed mixes to successfully restore diverse and stable plant and pollinator communities.

SUMMARY:Native American fire management at an ancient WUI
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nAs residential development continues into flammable landscapes\, wildfires increasingly threaten homes\, lives\, and livelihoods in the wildland–urban interface (WUI). Although this problem seems distinctly modern\, Native American communities have lived in WUI contexts for centuries. When carefully considered\, the past offers valuable lessons for coexisting with wildfire\, climate change\, and related challenges. This webinar will show that ancestors of Native Americans from Jemez Pueblo used ecologically savvy intensive burning and wood collection to make their ancient WUI resistant to climate variability and extreme fire behavior. Learning from the past offers modern WUI communities more options for addressing contemporary fire challenges. Public/private–tribal partnerships for wood and fire management can offer paths forward to restore fire-resilient WUI communities.

SUMMARY:Fire severity: Mapping past fires and predicting the future
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nArea burned by wildland fire has been increasing since the mid-1980s across much of the US. But the effects of fire on vegetation and soil – what we call burn severity or fire severity – is maybe the more important measure\, ecologically speaking. Stand-replacing\, or high-severity fire\, for example\, is more likely than low-severity fire to negatively impact ecosystems by increasing post-fire erosion potential\, catalyzing conversions from forest to non-forest\, and reducing carbon stocks. While high-severity fire has its place in the natural cycles of some ecosystems\, it also can pose societal problems by jeopardizing human safety and infrastructure. In this webinar\, we will briefly describe new approaches to mapping the severity of past fires using satellite imagery and cloud-based computing. The main focus of this webinar\, however\, will highlight recent advancements in modeling and predictive mapping of near-future burn severity; the mapped products predict the probability of high-severity fire\, if a fire were to occur. Maps characterizing fire severity\, whether they characterize past fires or represent predictions of the near-future\, provide important information for managers and scientists who are tasked with managing fuel and wildland fire.

SUMMARY:Rangeland Analysis Platform: Integrating production and economics into area-wide planning
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Rangelands produce ecosystem services that not only support biodiversity and wildlife\, but also sustain livestock operations and rural economies. Woody encroachment is a threat to rangeland productivity\, but its impact is often overlooked due to its slow pace and the positive public perception of trees. The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) is an innovative online tool that combines current and historical satellite imagery with thousands of on-the-ground vegetation measurements to facilitate an exploration of trends in western vegetation over time. Using RAP’s recently developed remotely sensed products of rangeland production\, we quantify the amount of forage lost to woody encroachment across western rangelands over the past three decades. Translating these losses into dollars\, we demonstrate how this knowledge can be integrated into area-wide planning to stop further economic loss and prevent wholescale ecosystem transitions. \nPresenters: Brady Allred (University of Montana) and Dirac Twidwell (University of Nebraska-Lincoln).

SUMMARY:Linking research and management to improve native plant restoration in NV
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Native plant diversity is the hallmark of a healthy ecosystem. In Nevada\, our native plant communities are threatened by the accelerated invasion of non-native species\, altered fire regimes\, grazing\, drought\, and climate change. Slowing and reversing this largescale conversion requires coordinated efforts between researchers and land managers\, working collaboratively to identify the most promising seed sources for restoring disturbed and invaded sites. The Nevada Native Seed Partnership is a group of state\, federal\, university\, and nonprofit partners working together to increase the availability and use of native seed for rehabilitation\, reclamation\, and restoration activities in Nevada. This presentation will highlight some of the science and restoration efforts this partnership has accomplished to date to restore and preserve our most impacted native plant communities. \nPresenter: Sarah Kulpa is the Restoration Ecologist/Botanist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Reno\, Nevada. Her work focuses on Great Basin sagebrush ecosystem restoration and threatened and endangered plant species. Sarah leads the native seed collection\, increase\, and restoration activities of the Reno FWS including mentoring the first FWS Seeds of Success team and helping establish the Nevada Native Seed Partnership. She received her M.S. in Natural Resources and Environmental Science from the University of Nevada\, Reno and her B.S. in Biology from St. Michael’s College.
