SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Prescribed Fire Effects on Southern Pine Tree Growth and Forest Structure
DESCRIPTION:Prescribed fire\, Elizabeth Moss\, West Virginia State University\, bugwood.org\nPresented by: Dr. Doug Aubrey\, Associate Professor – University of Georgia \nHosted by: Southern Regional Extension Forestry \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Aubrey will discuss prescribed fire\, its benefits\, impacts on forest health\, and the effects of excluding fire from southeastern forests. Fire is an integral component of southern forests. Especially in some pine systems that have developed adaptations to frequent fires and even depend on it to thrive. Fires can naturally occur but can also be intentionally set as a forest management tool. Prescribed fire is a planned and controlled application of fire to achieve specific goals. But what can prescribed fire be used for and how does it help southern pine systems? In this webinar\, Dr. Doug Aubrey will discuss prescribed fire in southern pine forests including its benefits\, impacts on forest health\, and the effects of excluding fire from an ecosystem. \nRegistration information

SUMMARY:Webinar: Social Acceptance and Communication Strategies for Wildland Fire Management
DESCRIPTION:Watching a prescribed fire demonstration in Gainesville\, Florida. © Brian Wiebler \n\n\nPANEL DISCUSSION \nHosted by: Fueling Collaboration Partners \nDate: Thursday\, February 20\, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM ET \nRegister here: https://www.fuelingcollab.com/episode-5-4 \nDescription: Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools for fuels reduction\, habitat improvement\, and ecological restoration. Yet\, there are challenges surrounding social acceptance in implementing prescribed fire programs across the region. This Fueling Collaboration panel discussion will explore the factors that influence public perception and acceptance of prescribed fire in land management. Experts from diverse fields will share insights into effective and culturally appropriate communication strategies that engage communities\, address concerns\, overcome resistance\, and build robust support for ecological restoration practices that include the use of fire. By highlighting successful examples from across the region\, this panel aims to equip both fire researchers and fire managers with the tools needed to foster community trust and collaboration in fire-adapted landscapes. This panel discussion has been approved for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters. \n\n\nDr. Kristin Floress (Moderator)Dr. Kristin Floress is a Research Social Scientist with the USDA Forest Service\, Northern Research Station. Kristin’s research interests and expertise pertain to understanding and modeling the impact of social factors – from the individual to the community level – on natural resources planning\, management\, conservation\, and restoration across public and private lands.​​ \n\n\nDr. Ludie Bond (Panelist)Dr. Ludie Bond is a Wildfire Mitigation Specialist/Public Information Officer with the Florida Forest Service providing local\, state\, national and international media with information about wildfire incidents\, wildfire causes\, wildfire prevention\, prescribed burning\, and fuel mitigation programs. Dr. Bond recently completed her Ph.D. at the University of Florida’s School of Forest\, Fisheries\, and Geomatic Sciences in prescribed fire communications. Her dissertation is titled\, Evaluating Prescribed Fire Communications in the Southeastern United States.​​​​ \nDr. Catrin Edgeley (Panelist) \n\n\nDr. Catrin Edgeley is an Assistant Professor of Natural Resource Sociology in the School of Forestry at Northern Arizona University. She is a wildfire social scientist interested in understanding and supporting community adaptation before\, during\, and after fire events. \n\n\nSteve Miller (Panelist)Steve Miller is the Regional Director\, Fire and Aviation with the USDA Forest Service\, Region 9. Steve has feet firmly planted in both fire camps (suppression and prescribed fire) and is qualified as an ICT2\, OSC2\, and an RXB1.
