Hello fellow ecologists, We thought you would be interested in this free morning workshop on wildland fire management and what scientific research has revealed about wildland fires on March 27, 2017 hosted by The U.S National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine<http://nas.edu/>. Thanks for any promotional help you can provide. A CENTURY OF WILDLAND FIRE RESEARCH: HOW CAN WE APPLY WHAT WE'VE LEARNED? Monday, March 27, 2017 | 8:30 am - 12:30 pm Eastern|Washington, DC Registration opens at 7:45 am: Registration link<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-century-of-wildland-fire-research-contributions-to-long-term-approaches-for-wildland-fire-registration-30899258514> Staff contact: Raymond Chappetta, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Wildland fire management is becomingly increasingly difficult for federal, regional, and local authorities due to a variety of challenges, including drier conditions in some areas of the country and the expansion of the urban-wildland interface. Developing long-term wildland fire management approaches informed by wildland fire science can lead to more strategic and cost-effective planning and management strategies for living with wildland fire.Join this half day workshop in Washington, DC, and also by webcast to discuss what has been learned from the wildland fire research that the U.S. Forest Service, other federal agencies, and research organizations have conducted and supported over the past century and how it might be applied toward more effective planning and management.
