This symposium, organized by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, was held at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in Manteo, North Carolina in November 2013. The goal of this symposium was to increase the knowledge base for the issues regarding the management of forested wetlands with fire in an environment affected by climate change. A wide audience of local and regional land and resource managers, educators, researchers, and planners attended the symposium and heard several presentations and participated in a field tour. The symposium was funded by the Joint Fire Science Program with support from the US Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region Fire Management Division, the Coastal Wildlife Refuge Society, and the Southern Fire Exchange.

Several of the symposium presentations can be viewed by clicking on the links below. Each presentation is accompanied by a short abstract, which can be found in the symposium program. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Wilder.
