SUMMARY:SFE Live from the Field: Protecting Giant Sequoias
DESCRIPTION:SFE Live from the Field: Protecting Giant Sequoias from the Ground Up \nLet’s take a field trip out West! Join us this Friday\, September 9th from 12:00 – 12:30 PM ET for our first SFE Live from the Field with Ludie Bond\, Florida Forest Service Public Information Officer and Gretchen Fitzgerald\, Sequoia National Forest Ecosystem Staff Officer. \nLudie Bond is a long-time friend of the Southern Fire Exchange currently assigned to support the Giant Sequoia Emergency Response effort on the Sequoia National Forest in California. She and Gretchen Fitzgerald will explain current and ongoing efforts to protect giant sequoia from wildfire and return prescribed fire to the groves. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: SFE FireMap 2.0
DESCRIPTION:SE FireMap 2.0 Webinar:\nTuesday\, September 20th\n2:00 PM ET \nFree and open to all.\nRegister now for a free and open webinar on the Southeast (SE) FireMap on Tuesday\, September 20th! \nJoin us to learn about the SE FireMap and what we’re doing to make this decision-support tool even more useful for resource managers. Led by USDA-NRCS\, Tall Timbers Research\, and USGS. \nExpanding & Updating the SE FireMap \nWhen: Tuesday\, September 20th\, 2022 \nAt: 2 PM US/Eastern \nWhere: On Zoom – Register here \nWebinar Description: \nThe SE FireMap is a fire mapping system that uses remote sensing to track prescribed fire and wildfire activity throughout the southeast. A beta version of the SE FireMap was released in early 2021 and an expanded SE FireMap 2.0 will be released by Spring 2025. SE FireMap 2.0 will provide annually updated information to increase the effectiveness of fire planning and conservation practices. \nDuring this webinar\, we will walk through SE FireMap 1.0\, discuss the development of SE FireMap 2.0\, and outline ways users can provide input on its development. Q&A will follow a brief presentation. The SE FireMap was developed with funding from USDA-NRCS. \nRegistration is required on Zoom \n  \n

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland Urban Interface
DESCRIPTION:Report Webinar: The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland-Urban Interface\n3:00 – 4:00 PM ET Tuesday\, September 20\, 2022 \nRegister for the webinar here  \nHosted by the US National Academies of Sciences \nWildfires in America are becoming larger\, more frequent\, and more destructive\, driven by climate change and existing land management practices. Many of these fires occur at the wildland-urban interface (WUI)\, areas where development and wildland areas overlap and which are increasingly at risk of devastating fires as communities continue to expand into previously undeveloped areas. Unlike conventional wildfires\, WUI fires are driven in part by burning of homes\, cars\, and other human-made structures\, and in part by burning vegetation.  The interaction of these two types of fires can lead to public health effects that are unique to WUI fires. \nThis report evaluates existing and needed chemistry information that decision-makers can use to mitigate WUI fires and their potential health impacts. It describes key fuels of concern in WUI fires\, especially household components like siding\, insulation\, and plastic\, examines key pathways for exposure\, including inhalation and ingestion\, and identifies communities vulnerable to exposures. The report recommends a research agenda to inform response to and prevention of WUI fires\, outlining needs in characterizing fuels\, and predicting emissions and toxicants. \nJoin project staff and members of the committee for a public release webinar about the new report on Tuesday\, September 20th from 3:00PM to 4:00PM EDT. \nJoin this public release webinar for the new consensus study report\, The Chemistry of Fires at the Wildland-Urban Interface Report.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Bladen Lakes Isolated Wetlands Restoration Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bladen Lakes Isolated Wetlands Restoration Workshop\nSept. 21\, 2022 \n1:00 – 4:30 PM ET\nOnline (Sept. 21) and Optional In-Person (Sept. 22) \nNote: This hybrid workshop consists of two parts\, a webinar (Sep. 21\, 2022) and a limited capacity (30 participants) field tour in the Bladen Lakes\, NC region (Sep. 22\, 2022). The field tour will visit Suggs Mill Pond game land\, the Broadwell property\, and Bladen Lakes State Forest. To register for the webinar please click on “Register Now”. To register to participate in the limited capacity (30 People) field tour email Julian Wilson\, julian.wilson@ncagr.gov. Field tour participation will be capped at 30 participants on a first-come basis. A waiting list will be maintained. \nIsolated wetlands are critically important to conserving ecosystem biodiversity in the Southeast. They provide many ecosystem services\, to include improving water quality. They are a vital natural resource\, important in maintaining biodiversity and essential for wetland-dependent wildlife. Participants in the webinar will learn about restoration of isolated webinars. Presenters will discuss priority amphibians\, plants\, and natural communities\, and will review restoration needs and strategies\, including the use of fire in wetlands. \nRegister for the webinar \nWebinar Agenda\n\nWelcome\, introduction\, and participant poll – Jeff Hall (NCWRC)\, Julian Wilson (NCFS)\nImportance of Bladen Lakes region for wetland restoration – Jeff Marcus (TNC)\nSplendid Isolation: The importance of isolated wetlands to herpetofauna in North Carolina– Jeff Beane (NCMNS)\nRare Plants of Isolated Wetlands in Southeastern NC – Katherine Culatta (NCPCP)\nIsolated wetland natural communities– Mike Schafale (NCNHP)\nHabitat degradation\, restoration strategies\, & examples from FL – Mike Sisson (NCWRC)\nExamples of wetland restoration in NC – Jeff Humphries (NCWRC)\nFire and wetland management – Ken Shughart (NCWRC)\nRound Robin overview of key conservation lands in region\n\nBladen Lakes State Forest – Hans Rohr (NCFS)\nBay Tree Lake/Jones Lake/Singletary Lake State Parks – Ed Corey (NCSP)\nSuggs Mill Pond & Whitehall Game Lands – Ken Shughart\nKey private lands (Broadwell/Bayfields) – Richard Broadwell\n\n\nOverview of field trip logistics and objectives\nClosing remarks
