SUMMARY:Science x post-disturbance restoration
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recordings. \nThe SCIENCEx webinar series brings together scientists and land management experts from across U.S. Forest Service research stations and beyond to explore the latest science and best practices for addressing large natural resource challenges across the country. These webinars will be primarily management focused\, but with applicability for participants from across sectors. SCIENCEx will typically be organized as week-long webinar ‘blitzes’ around salient topics\, allowing for deep-dives into subtopics or dynamics within specific geographies.

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: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: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: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:Idaho Forest Restoration Partnership Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Visit workshop webpage. \nIdaho’s collaborative groups are committed to promoting forest restoration on federal lands. National elections and new Administrations may modify policy impacting public lands management. What is the potential impact on collaborative groups engaged in forest restoration? This regional event brings together leaders from the timber industry\, local government\, conservation organizations\, community groups\, and land management agencies from across Idaho. IFRP has structured this virtual conference to include informative presentations\, panel discussions on current issues\, and break-out sessions.
