JFSP Fire Science Exchange Network
You are invited to the Sierra Nevada Conservancy & University of Washington webinar workshop regarding newly developed LiDAR analysis tools on Forest Management. This workshop will be held on:
Friday, June 12th from 1 to 4pm.
This webinar is targeted to early career professionals (especially students) who would like to better understand emotional intelligence and to discuss application in a variety of natural resource career settings.
The presenters will give an overview of science-based risk assessment related tools and applications for strategic planning and decision support in the face of potential wildfire.

The 13th Fire and Forest Meteorology Symposium is organized by the AMS Committee on Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and hosted by the American Meteorological Society.
This webinar discusses a new predictive model (POSCRPT) that predicts where postfire conifer regeneration is most likely to occur in these forest types.

This webinar showcases a new Post-fire Restoration Prioritization (PReP) tool for chaparral shrublands to aid resource managers with early detection and prioritization of degraded chaparral landscapes in need of restoration.
The virtual workshop is intended for foresters, resource managers, and others with an interest in prescribed fire on private forest lands. Preregistration is required by April 20th through this link.
To meet these challenges, the George Wright Society is organizing Fire Management 24/7/365, a collaborative, outcomes-focused training workshop to help practitioners, managers, and researchers from different agencies and organizations work together and with other land owners to reduce wildfire threat and restore fire-dependent mixed-conifer ecosystems in California.

The IAFC's Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) conference offers hands-on training and interactive sessions designed to address the challenges of wildland fire.
These trainings are designed for private landowners and land managers, and anyone else who is interested in learning more about how to plan and implement prescribed fire on private lands.
All workshops are in March and spread throughout Northern California. View 2020 Spring Prescribed Fire Workshops PDF >

Part of the Forest Ecology Random Lectures, open to the public
Protecting Your City from Wildfire: Planning, Coordinating and Investing for Civic Resilience will gather city leaders, county officials, state and federal agencies, first responders, forestry associations, electric and water utilities, equipment vendors, insurers, academics, and more to discuss how California can create resilient communities and leverage existing opportunities to protect their residents against wildfires.
Please join us for a workshop to discuss recent and ongoing results and analyses of Sierra Nevada tree mortality. The desired outcomes of the workshop are to: • Share latest results on live and dead trees, tree fall rates, fuels, regeneration, and post-mortality management • Discuss frameworks for incorporating data into forest management planning and identify management challenges and opportunities: What now? • Please visit for more info: http://ucanr.edu/treemortalitynetwork
