SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Future of Drought in Texas: What do Researchers and Stakeholders Need to Know?
DESCRIPTION:Host: National Integrated Drought Information System\, Texas A&M University\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \nPresenter: Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon\, Texas State Climatologist\, Texas A&M University \nAbstract: \nLong‐range water planning is complicated by factors that are rapidly changing in the 21st century\, including climate\, population\, and water use. Climate projections indicate the latter half of the 21st century may be even drier in some parts of the United States than even the most arid centuries of the last 1\,000 years that included megadroughts. \nIn this webinar\, Texas State Climatologist Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon will discuss these drought projections and related climate factors for Texas\, and some barriers to the use of these projections by Texas agricultural producers\, large surface water suppliers\, small groundwater management districts\, and regional water planning districts. \nRegister for the webinar here.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Growing-Season Prescribed Fires & Ground Nesting Birds
DESCRIPTION:Growing Season Fire & Ground-Nesting Birds – Answers for Longleaf Restoration\nHost: Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Jim Cox\, Tall Timbers Research Station \nAbstract: Millions of dollars have been spent over the past 20 years on reforestation of longleaf pine forests. Restoration will take time coupled with frequent and repeated application of prescribed burning. Burning is absolutely critical to restoration\, but an appreciable number of individuals and groups now limit their opportunities to burn to a smaller and smaller burn window. The concern often voiced is that burning from April – July is detrimental to ground nesting/grassland birds and should be avoided. Restoration targets that require frequent burning and may not be achieved if the burn window becomes too narrow. This presentation will look at the science behind the use of fire during the “lightning season” (the months of April – July) and its effects on ground-nesting birds such as quail and Bachman’s sparrow.  Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lGveI7-rQFqRq1NtsdgG8w

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: Fire-Ties that Bind: The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Controlled Burning in the Southland & the Rekindling of Global Fire Culture\nHost: South Carolina DNR\, National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative\, Working Lands for Wildlife\, Quail Forever\, Amsa Yoga\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, Joint Fire Science Program and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Johnny Stowe\, South Carolina DNR \nAbstract: All across North America\, and beyond\, people are gathering to Share the Flame.  Resilient embers have been re-kindled\, passionately nurtured in the deep-time crucible of people and fire that has warmed our hearts and hearths for scores of thousands of millennia. Twenty-five years ago\, the phenomenon of wildland fire-lighting in North America was barely flickering in scattered spots. Today\, an intense\, intergenerational\, pandisciplinary pyronexus forged in the natural and multicultural heritage of people embedded in fire-loving landscapes is being restored and is thriving in a wide and deeply-rooting range of programs\, policies and on-the-ground practices. Lighting up the landscape\, under prescription\, is an accelerating\, transcontinental\, cultural phenomenon centering on the shared pride of people connected to special places through a uniquely satisfying\, primordial practice. Fire-lighting binds people together as it promotes and gives resilience to ecological integrity\, economic health and public safety. Fire-wonder is increasingly expressed through prescribed fire tales\, poems and paintings\, and it resonates in rituals\, ceremonies\, pyrotourism and other gatherings. Our cultural spot fires have pulled together\, and they are creating their own winds and fuels. The fire-lighting pyroparadigm of North America — once nearly extinguished by decades of pathological\, command-and-control\, anti-fire propaganda\, pogroms and policy — has been taken back\, and we’ll let no one\, ever again\, wrest it away. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nRegistration Required: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8wX3HUi_R86jZWP0Jgu_4g
