SUMMARY:40-year perspective on fire rehabilitation and restoration in the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nRemember when sagebrush was a weed and crested wheatgrass was the “golden grass” of the West? This webinar will take you through the evolution of rangeland management from severe grazing damage prior to the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act to the development and use of native species following increasingly large rangeland fires. \nPresenter:  \nMike Pellant\, Rangeland Ecologist (retired) BLM and early Great Basin Fire Science Exchange leader takes us on a 40+ year journey through sagebrush ecosystem and rangeland policy and management.

SUMMARY:Navigating treatment data: Choosing the right dataset for your needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFor more information on the presenters and to access a fact sheet about the tools that will be discussed\, please visit https://fireecology.org/calendar-entries/navigating-treatment-data-may-2026 \nThere is a growing demand for high quality\, spatially explicit\, cross boundary treatment data including information on the type\, location\, age\, and ownership of fuel and vegetation treatments. This information is essential for reporting accomplishments and understanding fuel treatment effectiveness in reducing wildfire risk to values. Several platforms now offer cleaned and collated treatment data from disparate source databases. Researchers and practitioners need to understand the nuances between the different datasets; for example\, who can access the data\, what source data are used\, and which treatments are included or excluded. Understanding these differences and deciding which dataset best meets a user’s needs can be challenging. The goal of this webinar is to help users understand the similarities and differences between the primary aggregated treatment datasets available to them including the Integrated Interagency Fuel Treatment Service\, Fuel Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring\, GARP Hub\, TWIG\, and LANDFIRE’s Disturbance and Treatment Polygons. \nParticipants will leave the webinar with a general understanding of these datasets\, how to select a dataset based on their specific use case\, and where to go to learn more.

SUMMARY:Tree rings provide an important multi-century context for the current wildfire crisis
DESCRIPTION:More information and join link \nWildfires across the United States are growing larger and more intense\, threatening communities\, ecosystems\, and critical water supplies. But are these “megafires” truly unprecedented—or are they part of a longer natural pattern? \nIn this webinar\, USGS Research Ecologist Ellis Margolis shares how scientists are using tree rings to uncover the history of wildfire over hundreds of years. Drawing from the North American tree-ring fire scar network\, this research provides valuable context for understanding how current fire activity compares to the past. Findings reveal that while modern fires are not necessarily larger than those before 1900\, they are burning less frequently but with greater severity—especially in dry conifer forests of the western United States. Despite recent increases in wildfire activity\, many forests still experience a “fire deficit\,” meaning they are not burning as often as they historically did. \nThe webinar will also highlight practical solutions. Learn how land managers are using prescribed fire and managed wildfires to restore more natural fire patterns and build forest resilience in the face of multiple stressors.

SUMMARY:Prioritizing woody fuel and restoration treatments in sagebrush and pinyon-juniper
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nPrioritizing woody fuel and restoration treatments in sagebrush and pinyon-juniper ecosystems during an era of vegetation change ─ Spatial data and management guidelines: Elko Front Case Study \nPlease join us to learn about the spatial data on sagebrush and pinyon-juniper vegetation associations and fuel treatment responses available for the Great Basin. Learn how the available spatial data and an analysis of how plant associations are changing on the Elko Front High-Priority Landscape were used to develop guidelines for prioritizing management actions. \nPresenters:  \nJeanne Chambers\, Emeritus Senior Scientist USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station\, will discuss the factors that place the Elko Front at high risk of catastrophic wildfire and the management objectives. She will describe the spatial data layers that have been developed to aid managers in prioritizing fuel treatments and restoration activities where they will have the greatest benefits. \nSofia Koutzoukis\, Postdoctoral Researcher USDA Forest Service Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory\, will discuss the changes occurring in the vegetation associations on the Elko Front and the contributing factors.  She will describe how the spatial data layers were coupled with an understanding of the ongoing vegetation changes to develop guidelines for prioritizing woody fuel treatments and restoration activities.

SUMMARY:Building a fire adapted community: Understanding our role in living with fire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nFire is part of our past\, present\, and future\, and every community has a role in shaping how we live with it. This one-hour webinar introduces the idea of Fire Adapted Culture\, a people-centered way of understanding and interacting with wildfire that reaches beyond traditional fire management approaches.
