COWF2020 WEBINAR SERIES


ANNOUNCE_FSG.PNG

Record-breaking wildfires were just one of the remarkable things about 2020. What factors contributed to these catastrophic fires? In this interactive webinar series, we will be discussing several aspects of the 2020 wildfire season. This series will draw from a variety of experience from fire managers, fire policy experts, and fire scientists.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Regional fire history, ecology, and policy

  • Factors contributing to large fire growth

  • Prevention tactics involved in increased future wildfire resilience

  • Short and long-term land management and outlook
