SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: The Case for Prescribed Fire Science
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from Tall Timbers Research Station\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Morgan Varner\, Ph.D.\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Tallahassee\, FL \nWebinar Description: Recently and historically the majority of wildland fire science funding and research have focused on addressing questions associated with managing and responding to uncontrolled wildfires. Across the world there exists a strong demand for new science that can address basic and applied research needs associated with prescribed fires. Fundamental questions related to prescribed fire behavior\, fire effects\, smoke\, and social science require new research efforts to meet the growing needs of prescribed fire managers\, air quality regulators and community decision-makers. This webinar will highlight the differences between wildfire science and prescribed fire science and will discuss strategies and opportunities for moving forward. Following the presentation there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \nFollowing the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nFor more information read the March 2020 publication (open access) in the journal Fire Ecology. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Listening to the Flow - Discoveries from Wildland Fire Acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Host: Lake States Fire Science Consortium \nPresenter: Kara Yedinak\, Forest Products Lab\, USDA – Forest Service \nAbstract: Sound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us. So fundamental in fact\, that we often forget to question what it is we are hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is it really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What is making all that “noise” near a fire that causes us to raise our voices as we work or turn to observe with a fresh sense of alert concern? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling around wildland fire? In this webinar\, I will take a deep dive into the crackling sound of fire; what is this sound really telling us\, where is it coming from\, and what else is going on besides what we hear?

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Engaging Local Communities to Restore Fire-adapted Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Summary:\nNationwide\, the frequency and scale of catastrophic wildfires are growing at alarming rates\, challenging forest and rangeland managers’ abilities to maintain ecologically resilient landscapes and fire-safe communities. To meet these demands\, research and extension professionals are devising interactive and novel programs to engage and build capacity among landowners\, agency land managers and decision-makers\, environmental non-governmental organizations\, and technical service professionals to address ecological\, economic\, and social dimensions of wildland and prescribed fire. \nThis webinar will highlight:\nLenya Quinn-Davidson\, Area Fire Extension Advisor\, University of California Cooperative Extension\nDerek Scasta\, Rangeland Extension Specialist\, Assistant Professor of Rangeland Management\, University of Wyoming\nJennifer Fawcett\, Extension Associate\, North Carolina State University Extension \nJoin Lenya\, Derek and Jennifer as they share their programming with us! \nWebinar series sponsored by Renewable Resources Extension Act (RREA) \n  \nThis webinar series is funded through the Renewable Resource Extension Act under the United States Department of Agriculture\, National Institute of Food and Agriculture as Award number 2018-46401-288801. The USDA is an equal opportunity employer and service provider. \n  \nThe project team consists of natural resource professionals from across the U.S. These webinars are focused on the critical issues identified in the past two RREA strategic plans. The purpose is to feature creative\, innovative\, and effective Extension programs. The webinars will be an opportunity for renewable resource extension professionals to share\, learn\, and connect with their colleagues across land-grant institutions and disciplines. It is our hope that the webinars will bring increased public awareness of the RREA program and result in more informed\, better served stakeholders.

SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: Statutory\, Regulatory and Legal Constraints on Prescribed Fire in the USA
DESCRIPTION:A free one hour webinar from the University of Nebraska\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nPresenter: Carissa Wonkka\, Ph.D.\, Postdoctoral Research Associate\, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture\, University of Nebraska\, Lincoln\, NE \nWebinar Description: While fire is recognized as necessary to maintain many of the ecosystem services humans depend on\, policies and laws often pose impediments to conducting prescribed fires. Maintaining appropriate fire return intervals for fully functioning ecosystems can be difficult for a variety of reasons. Laws and regulations can place limitations on both the timing and extent of prescribed burning. In this webinar\, Dr. Wonkka will present an overview of the legislative and legal landscape facing prescribed burners. She will also present data showing how different statutory configurations can alter the amount prescribed fire applied on private land. Following the webinar there will be time reserved for audience questions. \nRegistration required. See Registration Link below.
