A new approach to evaluate forest structure restoration needs across Oregon and WashingtonSponsored by Northwest Fire Science Consortium & LANDFIRE Recorded December 2, 2014 - 1:00pm Presented by Mark Stern, Ryan Haugo, and Chris Zanger |
TNC has recently completed with the USFS R6 Ecology Program assessing forest restoration needs across eastern WA, eastern OR and southwest OR. TNC Forest Conservation Director Mark Stern will give a brief introduction from his perspective as a TNC program director and participant in several forest collaboratives. TNC’s Chris Zanger, forest analyst, and Ryan Haugo, senior forest ecologist, will handle the bulk of the presentation. The study, A New Approach to Evaluate Forest Structure Restoration Needs Across Oregon and Washington, appears in the January 2015 issue of Forest Ecology and Management.

Debunking social myths in wildland fireSponsored by Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center Recorded February 27, 2013 - 12:45pm Presented by Dr. Sarah McCaffrey |
As more people live in high fire hazard areas, the active involvement of the public will be central to many efforts to minimize fire risk and improve forest health. One barrier to effectively engaging the public may be that many of the accepted descriptions related to the public and wildfire are based primarily on conventional wisdoms that may or may not hold. |
