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.

SUMMARY:Managing for water: Lessons learned from watershed protection partnerships for wildfire risk reduction
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription:  Among the values at risk from wildfire are community drinking water supplies\, as forested watersheds on public land are often a primary or significant source of drinking water. In some places across the West\, watershed protection partnerships have formed to address this threat by bringing together the stakeholders of these watersheds for collaborative planning and investment in source water protection. This webinar will explore the concept of watershed protection partnerships and how they span organizational boundaries for collective action to address wildfire and other risks. We will offer lessons learned from how these partnerships have been implemented in Colorado and New Mexico\, and direct implications and applications for communities in Oregon. \nPresenters: Heidi Huber-Stearns\, University of Oregon; Emily Jane Davis\, Oregon State University

SUMMARY:Southwest climate vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Webinar discusses the vulnerability of southwestern landscapes to climate change. Climate change has created new challenges for resource managers with broad and often complex effects that make it difficult to accurately predict and design management options to minimize undesirable impacts.To address a gap in climate vulnerability assessments available for the Southwest\, Friggens and Triepke developed a modeling study for all major upland ecosystem types at spatial and thematic scales applicable to local administrative units and landscapes. \nVulnerability was determined by comparing the pre-1990 climate with the 2090 forecasted climate for all lands in Arizona and New Mexico. Results suggest the majority of lands in Arizona and New Mexico are highly vulnerable to future climate impacts\, but that vulnerability varies considerably by location and ecosystem type. \nPresenters: Megan Friggens\, RMRS ecologist and Jack Triepke\, FS southwestern region

SUMMARY:QUIC-Fire: A fast-running simulation tool for prescribed fire planning
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Recent advances in wildland fire behavior models (e.g. FIRETEC) utilizing high spatial and temporal resolution fluid dynamics calculations have facilitated complex modeling of fire-atmospheric feedbacks. Unfortunately this fire modeling approach requires exceptional computational resources that are unlikely to be available to most wildland fire managers. QUIC-Fire is a new physics-based cellular automata fire spread tool that that offers advanced fire modeling capabilities without the demand for extraordinary computational resources. QUIC-Fire is a new step towards expanding next generation fire model access to a wider audience of practitioners and users. \nPresenters: Rodd Linn\, Los Alamos National Lab\, Scott Goodrick\, USFS Southern Research Station\, Kevin Hiers\, Tall Timbers Research Station.

SUMMARY:FIRE-BIRD wildlife habitat tool
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Webinar discusses discuss FIRE-BIRD\, an ArcGIS spatial tool for applying habitat suitability models for woodpecker species of concern to generate maps that inform forest management planning. FIRE-BIRD was developed to help managers make the best decisions for maintaining habitat of key wildlife species\, while still allowing economic benefits to local communities. Habitat suitability models can inform forest management for wildlife species of conservation concern. Models quantify relationships between known species locations and environmental attributes\, which are used to identify areas most likely to support species of concern. Managers can then limit negative human impacts in areas of high suitability or conduct habitat improvements in areas of marginal suitability. RMRS researchers developed FIRE-BIRD\, an ArcGIS toolbox\, to map habitat suitability for woodpeckers of conservation concern to help inform locations for management activities in predominantly dry coniferous forests of the Inland Northwest and Northern Sierras.. \nPresenters: Vicki Saab and Todd Cross\, RMRS researchers
