SUMMARY:A new foundation for LANDFIRE
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe LANDFIRE program is aware that our stakeholders are interested in obtaining more comprehensive 3D vegetation structure information to inform vegetation and species mapping\, carbon accounting\, and physics-based fire behavior models. Understanding how to provide annually updated 3D vegetation and fuel metrics in a way that is useful to the most stakeholders and accounts for the logistical and resource constraints within the program is a LANDFIRE goal over the next few years. LANDFIRE wants to connect with innovators who are motivated by the shared challenge of pulling together disparate data sources across scales and dimensions into logical machine learning or deep learning classification methodologies that are accurate\, repeatable\, and usable by managers. We hope to build these relationships by increasing our engagement across research and management communities to create a new foundation for LANDFIRE.

SUMMARY:Nuances in fire history and management: Lessons from Oregon
DESCRIPTION:View recording. \nFor this webinar\, we are joined by Dr. Andrew Merschel\, Postdoctoral Scholar with ORISE and the US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station and Dr. Chris Dunn\, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University. \nDr. Andrew Merschel: The largest\, tallest\, and often the longest-lived species of nine conifer genera are found in temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Newly developed fire and tree establishment histories are challenging paradigms regarding how old-growth trees and forests developed their iconic structurally diversity and their tremendous biomass. This presentation will review annually precise reconstructions of fire and forest development history that reveal how low- to moderate-severity fire and Indigenous fire stewardship historically shaped old trees and forests. \nDr. Chris Dunn: In 2021\, Oregon’s Legislature passed Senate Bill 762 requiring Oregon State University\, in collaboration with Oregon Department of Forestry\, to create a wildland-urban interface map coupled with a wildfire hazard map to narrow regulation of the home ignition zone to only those properties at high or extreme risk. Upon release\, the public exploded with anger\, fueled in part by misinformation and false-narratives\, including threats of violence\, leading to retraction of the map. In this talk I will discuss the difficulty of integrating science with policy\, how the public responded\, and lessons learned relevant to state and local government policy actions.

SUMMARY:An evolution in thinking: Notes from an unexpected fire season on the San Juan National Forest
DESCRIPTION:View video (21:25). \nIn 2023\, fire managers on the San Juan National Forest and their partners faced many of the same challenges they face every summer; but by embracing different ways of thinking about fire and communicating difficult tradeoffs effectively with partners\, they improved relationships and aligned support through several large\, long duration events. ‘Evolution in Thinking’ depicts SJNF fire managers in candid interviews as they reflect on 2023 fire response decisions and recognize that reflexive thinking may have prevented them from seeing opportunities. Their experience models ‘an evolution\,’ a shift toward more nuanced\, risk-informed\, and strategic fire response\, and it informs ongoing research around fire and risk decisions.

SUMMARY:"Mann Gulch\, Norman Maclean\, and Young Men and Fire" with Stephen Pyne
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nOn August 5\, 1949\, a fire was spotted at Mann Gulch\, near Helena\, Montana. The U.S. Forest Service dispatched a team of 15 smokejumpers\, who were met by a fire guard from a nearby campground. When the fire blew up\, thirteen firefighters were killed\, three escaped. While the Forest Service studied what happened and revised its training and safety measures\, few outside the agency remembered the tragedy. That is not until Norman Maclean published a meditation on it\, entitled Young Men and Fire\, did the event connect with national and cultural interests—and continues to thirty years later. \nFire historian Stephen Pyne and host Jamie Lewis discussed the fire on its 75th anniversary and how Maclean’s book has affected the American fire community.

SUMMARY:Natural Areas Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:Conference website. \n2024 Natural Areas Conference (NAC24)\nOctober 7-10\, 2024\nManhattan\, Kansas \nFor the past 50 years\, NAA’s Natural Areas Conference has gathered federal\, state\, tribal\, regional\, and local natural areas practitioners from national nonprofit organizations\, private industry\, and academic institutions in order to foster communication and collaboration that can lead to progress in connection to challenges in the management of natural areas. \nManaging ecologically significant landscapes for the protection of biodiversity is a specialized segment of conservation and ecological science that includes management strategies to avert the permanent loss of or degradation of rare species and to preserve the unique functions of natural communities. Beyond the benefits to nature\, well-managed natural areas increase resilience during catastrophic events and thus play an important role in the causes and consequences of climate change.
