The Cohesive Strategy Virtual Workshop held October 28 featured a facilitated panel with Vicki Christiansen, Chief, US Forest Service; Jeff Rupert, Director, Office of Wildland Fire, DOI; and George Geissler, State Forester, Washington State DNR. Panelists provided leaders’ intent around the Cohesive Strategy as we move forward, and some context for the implementation of the strategy throughout 2020. Several additional presenters from across the country discussed novel adaptations to fire management catalyzed by the unique challenges of this 2020 fire year. Southern Fire Exchange provided support in co-hosting this event.
