SUMMARY:Inclusivity in cooperative extension programming\, with an emphasis on natural resources and climate change
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Through a case study from Washington\, DC\, participants will learn how to get feedback from historically underrepresented groups and tailor cooperative extension programs to people of different races\, ages\, and academic backgrounds. \nSome people\, such as minorities and those from under-educated and lower income backgrounds\, are typically excluded from conversations surrounding the degradation and improvement of ecosystem structure\, function\, and services. In an effort to provide an opportunity for under-served populations to be heard\, inform content creation in academic courses and in cooperative extension programs\, and create experiential learning opportunities for students at our land-grant university\, we developed a survey instrument to gather public perceptions and knowledge on natural resources and climate change. This survey was administered in-person by undergraduate students at the University of the District of Columbia and online in Washington\, DC. We will share the lessons we learned about effectively reaching people and how demographics of stakeholders need to be considered. Understanding what people know and perceive is key to designing effective educational programs\, engaging in collective conversations\, and building effective partnerships that find solutions for environmental problems that benefit the community. \nPresenters: USDA Northeast Climate Hub. Contact Jennifer Ryan\, Science & Technology Training Library content manager\, for more information.

SUMMARY:Effects of policy change on wildland fire management strategies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2009\, new guidance for wildland fire management in the United States expanded the range of strategic options for managers working to reduce the threat of high-severity wildland fire\, improve forest health and respond to a changing climate. Markedly\, the new guidance provided greater flexibility to manage wildland fires to meet multiple resource objectives. We use Incident Status Summary reports to understand how wildland fire management strategies have differed across the western US in recent years and how management has changed since the 2009 Guidance for Implementation of Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy. When controlling for confounding variation\, we found the 2009 Policy Guidance along with other concurrent advances in fire management motivated an estimated 27 to 73% increase in the number of fires managed with expanded strategic options\, with only limited evidence of an increase in size or annual area burned. Fire weather captured a manager’s intent and allocation of fire management resources relative to burning conditions\, where a manager’s desire and ability to suppress is either complemented by fire weather\, at odds with fire weather\, or put aside due to other priorities. We highlight opportunities to expand the use of strategic options in fire-adapted forests to improve fuel heterogeneity.

SUMMARY:Invader impact on soil ecosystems – what every restoration practitioner should know
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Plant invasions cause dramatic shifts in plant communities and ecosystem processes. While these changes are obvious aboveground\, less is known about changes belowground. Focusing on the most significant invaders in our area in the Intermountain West of the United States\, this seminar will highlight how spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe)\, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula)\, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) alter soil microbial communities and nutrient cycles\, and what the consequences of these shifts might be for restoration. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ylva Lekberg is a soil ecologist at MPG Ranch and an adjunct professor at University of Montana. Her research focuses on structural and functional shifts in soil ecosystems associated with plant invasions\, and how these changes may affect restoration success. Prior to her work in invasion biology\, Ylva explored the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in subsistence farmers’ fields in Sub-Saharan Africa\, coastal grasslands in Denmark and geothermal areas in Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Assessing the work of wildfires and identifying post-fire management needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Landscapes of the Inland West are deeply affected by 100+ years of fire exclusion\, the loss of indigenous burning\, and expansion and densification of many forests. Today\, anthropogenic climate change and wildfires are modifying the structure and composition of forests across the West at rates that far exceed adaptation and restorative treatments. Fires that occur during the forest planning process can delay project implementation for years\, further hindering the pace of restoration activities. Landscape evaluations and prescriptions are needed so that managers can assess the work of wildfires on affected landscapes; the topic of this webinar. \nPresenters and research team: Andrew Larson\, C. Alina Cansler\, Derek Churchill\, Paul Hessburg Sr.\, Sean Jeronimo\, Van Kane\, Jim Lutz\, and Nicholas Povak.

SUMMARY:Creating firebreaks with targeted cattle grazing in the Owyhee Front
DESCRIPTION:Watch video\, 11:45 \nSix ranchers are working with the Bureau of Land Management during the spring months to reduce fuel loads (mostly cheatgrass) on the front side of the Owyhee Mountains in Idaho with tightly controlled cattle grazing. The goal is for the cattle to “mow” cheatgrass and grasslands to a 2-3 inch stubble height for 30 miles (200 feet wide on either side of a road) from March 1 – June 30. This is the fourth year of the experimental project. \nThe larger goal is to stop large “mega” fires that are burning up high-quality grasslands and sage-steppe habitat in the Great Basin — habitat that’s crucial to support wildlife\, songbirds\, and livestock grazing. \nSo far\, the BLM and the ranchers are happy with the results. A research project by the BLM and USDA Agricultural Research Service is evaluating the use of cattle to create fire breaks in the Owyhees\, Elko\, Nev.\, and Lakeview\, Ore. The research takes a broader look at what techniques work best.

SUMMARY:Insights for resilient forest landscapes in the Rogue Basin of southwestern Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Severe wildfires threaten forests and communities of the northern Klamath Mountains. Historically these forests thrived with frequent\, low-mixed severity fire. However\, hotter\, drier summers\, a century of fire exclusion\, and past destructive logging practices are increasing the likelihood of destructive fire. Insights from historical fire regimes and stand conditions have been integrated with contemporary evaluations of wildfire risk and habitat needs to inform the collaboratively derived Rogue Basin Cohesive Forest Restoration Strategy. \nPresenter: Kerry Metlen\, Forest Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy of Oregon

SUMMARY:From parallel play to co-management: Conserving landscapes at risk of wildfire in the West
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording \nDescription: Wildfire has fundamentally shaped the western landscapes we seek to conserve. It is a source of renewal and central to the functioning of many ecosystems; as well as a destructive force that threatens communities and conservation values across public and private lands. Wildfire epitomizes myriad connectivities that we cannot escape. Yet as the frequency of large\, severe wildfires has greatly increased over the past 20 years\, it has called to attention the fragmented\, sometimes conflicting approaches to natural resource conservation across different jurisdictions and organizations. Reducing threats and enhancing conservation benefits from wildfire will require synergistic collaboration and coordination to span these disconnects. Our discussants will provide a range of perspectives from applied social science and policy action around wildfire to suggest bold new ideas about how people in the western U.S. may live with fire in the 21st century\, and how conservation policy could spur more effective collective action to address wildfire risk across public and private lands. \nPresenters: Tony Cheng\, Director of the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute and Professor at Colorado State University; Emily Jane Davis Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist at Oregon State University; Tyson Bertone-Riggs\, Policy Analyst for the Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition; Cassandra Moseley Interim Vice President for Research and Innovation at University of Oregon.

SUMMARY:Resilience in national forest planning
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Recent policies including the Cohesive Strategy and the 2012 NFMA planning rule emphasize restoration of landscape resilience as a way forward for living with fire on national forestlands. But what does resilience mean\, what does it take to plan for resilient landscapes\, and what other factors complicate the achievement of resilient landscape outcomes? In this webinar we will present the results of a Joint Fire Science Program-funded research project based on three research elements: 1) a content analysis of Environmental Impact Statements; 2) a survey of USFS staff that have been involved in interdisciplinary planning efforts; and 3) case studies of three national forests that have recently revised their forest plans. Collectively\, these studies shed light on how resilience has been operationalized within the U.S. Forest Service\, what obstacles to achieving resilience have been identified\, and what solutions appear to hold promise for overcoming the complexities of managing for resilience.

SUMMARY:Evaluating native seed mixes for post-fire seeding the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Post-fire seeding has been widely implemented in the Great Basin in response to the threat of resource degradation and weed invasion following fire disturbance. The longstanding practice of seeding non-native forage grasses has worked well for some purposes\, but seeding native species is a more sensible choice if natural vegetation recovery is a long-term objective. Seeding natives raises questions of cost\, establishment ability and whether native species will be as effective as non-natives in outcompeting invasive annuals. We consider these issues in the context of a study where outcomes of native and non-native seed mixes were compared during an 18-year timeframe following wildfire. Successional trajectories of seeded treatments were compared with unseeded controls and late-successional reference communities to assess restoration potential of treatment options. \nPresenters: Francis Kilkenny\, Research Biologist\, USDA Forest Service and Jeff Ott\, Research Biologist\, USDA Forest Service.

SUMMARY:Toolkit for invasive annual grass management in the West
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: The Western Governors’ Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, under a Shared Stewardship Memorandum of Understanding\, have been collaborating on efforts to meaningfully address the large-scale infestation of invasive annual grasses on western forests and rangelands. The result of this effort is a new toolkit for land managers to address the spread of invasive annual grasses in the West\, including species such as cheatgrass\, medusahead\, and ventanata. \nThe toolkit is comprised of three elements: \n\nA roadmap for invasive grass management in the West\, with new best management practices for the identification and protection of relatively intact “core” areas;Case studies highlighting the application of these practices in Idaho and Wyoming; and\nA new geospatial data layer to help state and local officials manage invasive annual grasses at home\, while also offering opportunities to identify new cross-boundary collaborative projects.\n\nPresenters: Lindy Garner\, Sagebrush Ecosystem Invasive Species Coordinator\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; Jeremy Maestas\, Ecologist/National Sagebrush Ecosystem Specialist\, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; Brian A. Mealor\, Director and Associate Professor\, University of Wyoming Sheridan Research and Extension Center; Brian A. Rutledge\, Director\, Sagebrush Ecosystem Initiative\, The National Audubon Society
