Fueling Collaboration Panel - "Where People Go, There's Fire"

  • Online Webinar - Register for Link (map)

More and more natural resource managers in the eastern US are looking to use prescribed fire to reduce wildfire risk and manage ecosystems located in the WUI. Using prescribed fire in urban and suburban locations brings unique, intimidating challenges that can add to the complexity of a burn. In this panel discussion, we’ll highlight success stories, common themes, and lessons learned from prescribed fire programs in the WUI.

Where People Go, There's Fire Panel details and registration

Fueling Collaboration is a series of interactive virtual panel discussions designed to connect fire managers and researchers. We're working to bring people together to discuss, explore, and address the latest fire science and fire management issues across the eastern United States. Each panel discussion will be crafted from questions submitted by attendees during registration.

Fueling Collaboration is created and hosted by the USDA Forest Service Northern  and Southern Research Stations, and the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Fire Science Exchanges in the eastern United States.
