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

SUMMARY:Low-tech wet meadow restoration: Reading the landscape
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWet or mesic meadows are rare but disproportionately important habitats within western rangelands. Gully erosion and channel incision are widespread problems reducing natural resiliency and water storage capacity\, which is impacting wildlife and working lands. Simple\, low-tech restoration methods using sticks and stones provide effective tools for protecting and restoring meadow systems. While there is no shortage of degraded areas that need help across the West\, there is a shortage of time and money to address them. In this webinar\, Jeremy and Shawn will introduce participants to how to use Bill Zeedyk’s principles of “Reading the Landscape and Thinking like Water” to recognize and prioritize meadow restoration.

SUMMARY:Evaluating change in bird communities from wildfire in the Arizona Sky Islands
DESCRIPTION:Link to webinar recording. \nDescription: The avifauna within the Sky Islands of southeastern Arizona includes species found nowhere else in the United States\, in part due to the availability of diverse habitats created by the mixing of Madrean and Cordilleran ecosystems. Neotropical migratory bird species visit these mountains\, as well as many species typical of western North American montane forests. Birdwatchers from across the globe visit the region\, providing a vibrant state and local ecotourism industry. Within the last two decades\, the Sky Islands have been under increased stress associated with ongoing droughts and wildfires. Nearly every mountain range in the region has been impacted by wildfires. The largest wildfire was the 2011 Horseshoe Two Fire\, which burned 90\,307 hectares of the Chiricahua Mountains.
