The Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference is a major conference focused on fire in oak forests, woodlands, and savannas where noted experts in research and management gather to present state-of-the-art information, perspectives and synthesis on key issues. This conference will emphasize topics relevant to management of oak-dominated forests, woodlands, and savannas and will be of interest to managers, scientists, landowners, consultants, and students.
This conference is particularly tailored to land managers and applications, and will feature invited presentations, an open poster session, management focused panel discussions, exhibits, and professional networking opportunities. The schedule will include a day of speakers and panel discussions, a field trip day, followed by a final day of speakers and panel discussions. Continuing Education Credits will be offered through the Society of American Foresters and The Wildlife Society.

We anticipate inviting poster presentation submissions on any aspect of fire in eastern North American oak ecosystems. Research posters may relate to any aspect of fire science such as fire regimes, fire effects, fuels, GIS/remote sensing, hydrology, soils, wildlife, or human dimensions. Management posters may highlight specific fire-related projects and / or programs.
