SUMMARY:New Mexico Tribal Forest and Fire Summit
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 30\, 2024: 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time)\nJanuary 31\, 2024: 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with optional social mixer until 7:30 p.m. (MT)\nFebruary 1\, 2024: 7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (MT) \nSanta Ana Star Casino\, 54 Jemez Canyon Dam Rd\, Bernalillo\, NM 87004 \nThere are a limited number of rooms reserved for folks traveling from long-distances. \nAgenda \nThough the event is focused on New Mexico\, you’ll find many of the topics are relevant across the Southwest. \nDay 1: To equip tribal or tribal-affiliated natural resource managers and practitioners with an understanding of the burn planning process to work towards good and thorough surveying\, burn plans\, and implementation.  Together we’ll learn about elements of prescribed fire planning\, which parts of burn plans can be co-created\, and BIA’s process for approving burn plans. We’ll share lessons learned from challenges and successes throughout. \nDay 2: This workshop session will bring everyone together to share challenges\, concerns and roadblocks that are affecting Tribal projects. We will break into small groups to discuss these obstacles and brainstorm ideas and solutions on how to overcome them. The expected outcome is to have a clearer idea on common challenges and obstacles affecting Tribal projects and how we can tackle these collectively. \nDay 3: Field visits in Jemez Pueblo and Sandia Pueblo\, New Mexico. \nThis event is sponsored by the Forest Stewards Guild\, New Mexico Forestry Division\, The Nature Conservancy\, and Trees\, Water & People.

SUMMARY:Prescribed Fire as a Restoration Tool for Savanna Communities: Rx Fire for Forest Management ​Series
DESCRIPTION:Registration and full series information \nFebruary 7\, 2024\n8:30 – 10 a.m. Central Time\nOnline via Zoom \nJoin Jeb Barzen and Brendan Woodall as they discuss ​Restoring Savanna Communities in Wisconsin with Rx Fire at Ecologically Meaningful Scales \nJeb Barzen will focus on addressing the potential for restoring savanna communities in Wisconsin at ecologically meaningful scales through use of prescribed fire and through expanding social tools such as carbon credits or environmental labels. Most vegetative communities in Wisconsin\, including a variety of savanna communities\, are fire-dependent and the Wisconsin landscape is approximately 85% privately owned. A 10-fold increase in the implementation of prescribed fire is needed and our current capacity to implement those fires is limited by the number of trained people to burn safely and the incentives necessary to allow private landowners to deploy Rx fire sustainably over decades and across broad landscapes to achieve ecologically significant impacts.  ​  ​​ ​​ \nBrendan Woodall will dive into the details on what he does as a Private Lands Biologist through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and discuss how fire is used as a restoration and management tool in savanna communities on private land. There are many barriers and limitations to actually being able to get fire on the ground safely\, such as socially\, financially\, and logistically. \nThis webinar is part of the Wisconsin Forestry Center’s free webinar series that explores several facets of prescribed fire related to forests and forest management. They invited speakers to provide their perspectives and offer advice on how to advance prescribed fire as a forest management tool.

SUMMARY:Successfully Bridging the Gap: Eastern US Models of Fire Science and Management Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Register \nFebruary 15\, 2024\n11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET \nApproved for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters. \nLand management programs are frequently confronted with the imperative of incorporating the most advanced scientific knowledge into their decision-making processes along with filling voids in research needed to move along effective management. Nevertheless\, the persistent disparities between the realms of science and management often impede effective collaboration. In this panel\, we will draw inspiration from successful case studies in the eastern United States\, where land managers and scientists have forged pioneering partnerships\, yielding tangible advancements in the field.

SUMMARY:Mycorrhizal Fungi in Northeastern Forests webinar
DESCRIPTION:Register \nFebruary 21\, 2024\n1:00 pm – 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time \nThis event is hosted by University of Vermont Extension Forestry and is approved for 1.0 CFE credit through SAF. \nAre you curious about the role of mycorrhizal fungi in forest ecosystems or want to know how mycorrhizal fungi could interact with silviculture? In this webinar\, we will outline the foundations of the mycorrhizal-plant symbiosis and explore how mycorrhizal fungi affect forest diversity\, regeneration\, and soil functions. Lastly\, we’ll showcase the current silviculture-related work from northeastern forests to set the stage of where we are in our understanding and which questions are left to answer. \nAbout the speakers: \nDr. Amelia Fitch earned a PhD in 2023 from Dartmouth College in the Hicks Pries Lab where she studied mycorrhizal fungi in Northeastern forests. She earned her MS from the University of Cambridge studying boreal lake sediments\, and BS from the University of Oregon studying tidal wetlands. Amelia is currently working at Oregon State University studying how silviculture can help working forests mimic traits of old growth forests that buffer the effects of climate change. \nEva Legge is a first year MS student at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). Her research in Dr. Andrew Vander Yacht’s Applied Forest and Fire Ecology Lab and Dr. Christopher Fernandez’ Mycorrhizal Ecology Lab investigates how seedling-mycorrhizal symbioses are affected by different forest management practices\, from prescribed fire to timber harvest. Eva earned a BA in Biology in 2023 from Dartmouth College\, where she studied mycorrhizal-mediated forest management as a member of Dr. Caitlin Hicks Pries’ Soil Ecology Lab. Eva is an avid science communicator\, a practice which was inspired by her science writer grandfather. She believes good communication is necessary for any scientific practice that strives to be wide-reaching and inclusive. \nTo request a disability-related accommodation to participate in this program\, please call or email Ali Kosiba at 802-656-7631 or akosiba@uvm.edu by 2/6/24 so we may assist you. For more information on the event in general\, contact Dr. Ali Kosiba (akosiba@uvm.edu).

SUMMARY:Communicating Forestry - Every Picture Tells A Story\, Don't It?
DESCRIPTION:Register \nFebruary 27\, 2024\n7:00 – 8:30 p.m. ET \nZoom webinar (join information will be provided after registration) \nWebinar goals and objectives \nApproved for 1.5 Category 1 Continuing Forester Education Credits by SAF. \nThis is part of our Communicating Forestry webinar series\, led by Guild members. This one will be led by Roger Merchant. \nForest Photography is an effective medium for informing and conveying interpretive messages about our changing forests. Understanding how to photograph\, frame and cut through the visual chaos inherent in many forests\, requires an opening up of the visual and intellectual senses\, heart and mind – important keys to creating human receptivity and connectivity to information and ideas about forests and forestry. As the classic rock n’ roll artist Rod Stewart from Scotland sang of this\, “every picture tells a story\, don’t it?
