SUMMARY:Recent Megafires Provide a Tipping Point for Desertification of Conifer Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Recent Megafires Provide a Tipping Point for Desertification of Conifer Ecosystems \nMarch 30\, 10:00 – 11:00 MT \nRegister Here \nPresented by: Dan Neary \nWildfires can produce significant hydrological and ecological impacts on forest\, woodland\, and grassland ecosystems depending on fire size\, severity\, duration\, timing\, fuel loads\, and weather conditions. In the past several decades\, wildfire conditions have changed from previous  ones in the 20th Century. Wildfires are now burning larger areas in hotter\, windier\, and drier weather. In addition\, the timeframe for these fires has expanded by four months in some regions to 12 months in fire-prone states like California. These large fires\, known as megafires (greater than 40\,000 acres) are burning more wildland areas every year. Some reach the giga-fire classification (405\,000+ acres) with increasing frequency. These trends are contributing to increased desertification of forest lands. This presentation examines the role of these large fires in producing desertification of wildland ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Community Wildfire Mitigation Practices
DESCRIPTION:Community Wildfire Mitigation Best Practices Training\nFebruary 14 – April 15\, 2022 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis national level training from Coalitions & Collaboratives\, Inc. and the USDA Forest Service is designed for current or future mitigation specialists\, wildfire program leads\, and others who work with residents and their communities to reduce wildfire risk. The Mitigation Best Practices training concentrates on science\, methods and tools that will help you engage communities/residents while also helping you to eliminate ineffective practices. \nParticipants should come with a basic understanding of wildfire\, how homes burn\, and vegetation management practices. The course assumes you know how to mitigate\, but that you could use support engaging your community. In this workshop\, you will work through some of the greatest challenges facing our wildland urban interface communities. The course will help you break down ineffective practices to make space for the more effective ones with a focus on the on-the-ground mitigation activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE FOR WAITLIST

SUMMARY:Association for Fire Ecology 9th International Fire Ecology and Management Congress
DESCRIPTION:eJoin AFE for a week at the beach at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in beautiful Miramar Beach\, Florida for an in-person event\, or virtually November 30 to December 4!\n \nLearn the latest in Fire Ecology and Management\, meet with colleagues\, and make new connections!\nConference Website\nCall for proposals closes August 15th! \nImage Credit: Tyler Gilbert\, The Ember Alliance\n\nHosted in cooperation with Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Fire Congress will offer an exciting blend of in-person and virtual learning opportunities for fire managers\, natural resource professionals\, policy and administrative leaders\, and the academic and research community.\n  \nImportant Dates: \n\nJuly 15: Registration Opens\nAugust 15: Oral Presentation and Fire Circle Proposals Due\nAugust 30: Poster Presentation and Attached Meetings Proposals Due\n\n\nCongress Theme\nLife with Fire:\nPrescriptions for Resilience \nMore prescribed fire\, cultural burning\, and beneficial wildfires are urgently needed to manage the escalating magnitude of wildfire impacts on society and to achieve conservation goals in landscapes around the world. The 2021 Fire Congress will bring the wildland fire community together to discuss strategies to sustain native wildlife and biodiversity\, enhance ecosystem services and resilience\, mitigate climate change impacts\, and reduce undesirable impacts on human and natural communities. Participants are encouraged to share and explore proactive solutions that connect research to desired fire management outcomes. While we encourage proposals related to the congress theme\, we also accept proposals on a variety of wildland topics. \n\nCOVID Adaptations \n\nIn-person and Virtual Participation\n\nDue to the pandemic\, we are embracing a new and flexible Fire Congress program.

SUMMARY:Shortgrass Prescribed Burning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Summary of Event and Photos\nPost-Event Press Release \nLocal ranchers and volunteer fire department staff joined students and faculty from Clarendon College and New Mexico Highlands University on November 4\, 2021 in Mosquero\, New Mexico for workshop on how and why to conduct prescribed burns in the shortgrass prairie. \n  \nTopics included why prescribed burning is useful to improve vegetation and encourage desirable wildlife\, ideal weather conditions\, locating firebreaks\, finding equipment and crew\, and how to plan a burn to achieve management objectives.  New Mexico State University Extension Forest and Fire Specialist Doug Cram was the keynote speaker\, with additional information provided by Kansas State University Extension Associate Carol Baldwin. \n  \nParticipants reported that the workshop provided “on-the-ground\, practical info we can apply on our ranch.”  Information about the impact of humidity on fire behavior\, prescribed fire frequency\, and the effects of prescribed burning on grama grasses were particularly noted.  Additional workshops and training were proposed\, and many of the participants are looking forward to the in-the-field training event to be held next spring at Ute Creek Cattle Company in Bueyeros\, NM. \n  \nThe workshop was sponsored by Ute Creek Cattle Company\, three Joint Fire Science Exchanges (Great Plains Fire Science Exchange\, Southern Rockies Fire Science Network\, and Southwest Fire Science Consortium)\, New Mexico State University\, Kansas State University\, and Western Landowners Alliance.  Special thanks to the Mosquero Municipal Schools for providing a space for the workshop and The Headquarters for catering. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Natural Areas Conference (Virtual) Life from the Ashes: Exploring the Impact of Prescribed & Natural Fire on Insects and Other Invertebrates
DESCRIPTION:2021 NATURAL AREAS CONFERENCE:\nA ONE-DAY VIRTUAL EVENT\nLife from the Ashes: Exploring the Impact of Prescribed & Natural Fire on Insects and Other Invertebrates \nEcosystems throughout North America evolved with wildfire. Today\, prescribed fire is an important tool for managing habitat by maintaining open\, early seral landscapes. Fire can greatly improve the value of habitat for insects and other invertebrates\, often increasing species abundance and diversity\, however\, fire (both natural and prescribed) in the wrong place\, at the wrong scale\, or at the wrong time can have the opposite effect – negatively impacting invertebrate communities and their habitat.\n\nLife from the Ashes will explore the positive and negative impacts of prescribed and natural fire related to insects and other invertebrates in landscapes across North America. The symposium will provide research and practical insights to inform natural areas professionals as they manage landscapes with fire.\n\nThis program is provided in a collaboration between the Natural Areas Association (NAA) and the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation (Xerces). NAA serves those dedicated to the management and restoration of biologically important natural areas in North America. Xerces is an international nonprofit organization that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats. Protecting nature requires reliable science to inform practices on-the-ground and a network of stewards who work tirelessly to protect\, manage and restore land and water biodiversity.

SUMMARY:2021 Fire on the Plains
DESCRIPTION:Fire on the Plains is a collaborative effort to bring cost effective\, high quality\, hands-on training to the first responders of the eastern plains of Colorado. This year we have re-tooled some of our offerings and added a few that folks have requested. We are also collaborating with Northeastern Junior College in Sterling\, Colorado this year. This event is designed to provide basic skills introduction to newer firefighters as well as giving the seasoned firefighter the ability to explore new concepts. Each session will provide the opportunity for students to work on specific Job Performance Requirements (JPR) for certification maintenance. This year we offer firefighter and the driver/operator training as well as many specialty classes in both the wildland and structural worlds. Students can choose from several multiday\, full day\, 4-hour and 2-hour sessions. The student may pick and choose which sessions they wish to attend. Students may attend for the entire weekend or just one day. Meals are included in the price of tuition.
