SUMMARY:SFE Webinar: UAS / Drones for Prescribed Fire Ignitions
DESCRIPTION:SFE Webinar: UAS for Prescribed Fire Ignitions\n\n\nA free one hour webinar from Raven Environmental Services\, the Southern Fire Exchange\, and the University of Florida. \nSociety of American Foresters CFE Credit Expected. \nPresenter:\nBrett Lawrence\, Project Manager – Drone and GIS Services\, Raven Environmental Services \nWebinar Description: This webinar will share how the incorporation of UAS aerial ignition into a private prescribed burning program impacted operations between 2019 and 2021. The speaker will share some insights into how using UAS changed burn planning and how it mitigated challenges relating to fire operations. The presentation will include the quantitative impacts of using the UAS\, as well as case studies from some specific prescribed burns. Finally\, the speaker will share limiting factors that they continue to encounter when using the UAS on burns. Following the presentations there will be time for audience Q/A with the speaker. \n\n\nRegister: https://ufl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RxiMcLcOTOejQX9v-nO-gw

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Can restoration of of fire-dependent ecosystems reduce ticks and tick-borne disease prevalence in the eastern United States?
DESCRIPTION:Can restoration of fire-dependent ecosystems reduce ticks and tick-borne disease prevalence in the eastern United States? \nNovember 8\, 2022 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET \nHosted by the Oak Woodlands & Forests Fire Science Consortium and the North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange \nThe Wildlife Society and The Society of American Foresters continuing education credits (1 hour Cat 1) anticipated. \nRegister here: https://umsystem.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcrcuqoqT8pGdzK0DdqiqvRRblIf9w98lFQ\nA unique Zoom Meeting link will be emailed to you. Enter the meeting room beginning at 12:45 pm (central time) on the day of the webinar.   \nWebinar abstract:  Over the past century\, fire suppression has facilitated broad ecological changes in the composition\, structure\, and function of fire-dependent landscapes throughout the eastern US\, which are in decline. These changes have likely contributed mechanistically to the enhancement of habitat conditions that favor pathogen-carrying tick species\, key wildlife hosts of ticks\, and interactions that have fostered pathogen transmission among them and to humans. While the long-running paradigm for limiting human exposure to tick-borne diseases focuses responsibility on individual prevention\, the continued expansion of medically important tick populations\, increased incidence of tick-borne disease in humans\, and emergence of novel tick-borne diseases highlights the need for additional approaches to stem this public health challenge. Another approach that has the potential to be a cost-effective and widely applied but that remains largely overlooked is the use of prescribed fire to ecologically restore degraded landscapes that favor ticks and pathogen transmission. We examine the ecological role of fire and its effects on ticks within the eastern United States\, especially examining the life cycles of forest-dwelling ticks\, shifts in regional-scale fire use over the past century\, and the concept that frequent fire may have helped moderate tick populations and pathogen transmission prior to the so-called fire-suppression era that has characterized the past century. We explore mechanisms of how fire and ecological restoration can reduce ticks\, the potential for incorporating the mechanisms into the broader strategy for managing ticks\, and the challenges\, limitations\, and research needs of prescribed burning for tick reduction. \n \nThis webinar will include findings from the following publication: Gallagher\, Michael R.\, Kreye\, Jesse K.\, Machtinger\, Erika T.\, Everland\, Alexis\, Schmidt\, Nathaniel\, and Skowronski\, Nicholas S.. 2022. “ Can Restoration of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems Reduce Ticks and Tick-Borne Disease Prevalence in the Eastern United States?.” Ecological Applications 32( 7): e2637. https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2637

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration 3.0: Talking About Fire
DESCRIPTION:Registration Required. Register here. \nPROGRAM DESCRIPTION:\nFrom building firelines to researching fire trends over time\, fire management and science require great communication to be successful. Our panel will share their experiences and tips on how to effectively talk about fire to gain support and build a collaborative network. We’ll address your questions about fire science communication and discuss best practices for defining objectives\, connecting with your audience\, and tools/resources that can help along the way. \n \n\nFueling Collaboration is a series of interactive panel discussions designed to connect fire managers and researchers. Each discussion will be built on questions from the registered attendees. The interagency project team is working to bring people together to discuss\, explore\, and address the latest fire science and management issues across the eastern United States. \n\n
