SUMMARY:Communicating Forestry - Give Me That Old Growth Religion: Understanding the Cultural Diversity of Forest Cultures
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, interdisciplinary scholar and former forester Jason M. Brown will explore the ways that trees and forests have shaped myth\, religion\, and spirituality throughout history. In addition\, he will discuss how the various cultures that form around trees and forests inform the ongoing conflicts over forestry and forest management. Discussion will explore how understanding these perspectives might contribute to better public dialogue and management processes. \nJason M. Brown is a Lecturer with the Department of Global Humanities and also teaches with the School of Resource and Environmental Management at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. He grew up in California and studied anthropology as an undergraduate. He earned joint Masters degrees from Yale in forestry and theology. He writes at holyscapes.org. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Understanding Social Vulnerability Models
DESCRIPTION:This webinar from the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network will feature presentations from Professor Christopher Emrich and Professor Ronald Schumann who have worked extensively on social vulnerability definitions and modeling for a variety of natural hazards\, including wildfire. Together\, we’ll discuss: what does social vulnerability mean? How are vulnerability models built\, and what data is included or missing? \nOur speakers will also cover: how the creation of social vulnerability models impacts the maps and outputs that are created (and what an impact that has on grants\, etc.); the importance of tailoring vulnerability models to local context and what happens if you don’t include local information. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZApde6tqTotGtca1gb2Uy5f07V4q-giE5x-#/registration

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration: Phenology of Fire: Listening to the Plants and Animals
DESCRIPTION:Season of fire. Opening the burn window. Both of these focus on one of the elements that make up a fire regime – frequency\, intensity/severity\, extent/scale\, and seasonality. Decades of spring-and/or autumn-centric fire can cause a site or landscape to respond very differently than when burned repeatedly across all flammable seasons. Summer burns can produce differing fire effects including increased species richness averages\, biomass\, and stem counts (especially forbs)\, and breaking up the plant species dominance resulting from dormant season burn windows. Our panelists will bring fresh voices to how we can learn from listening to our fire-dependent plants and animals and let the fire effects lead us toward desired outcomes. \nThis panel discussion has been approved for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters. \nRegister here: https://www.fuelingcollab.com/episode-4-3

SUMMARY:WTREX Women’s Traditional Fire Training Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Applications for this WTREX will be accepted through November 15. \nOrganizers invite participants of all genders\, from any background\, discipline and origin\, to join in the first European WTREX (Women’s Traditional Fire Training\nExchange)\, taking place in Portugal\, February 1-10\, 2024. \nThis WTREX aims to explore the growing role of women in fire management\, while providing a hands-on training experience for practitioners to learn about fire as a\nnatural ecological process and how to use it as a tool to manage forest fuels and wildfire risk in the landscape. The event will be organized under an Incident Command System structure\, while sharing experiences and knowledge with local and international peers. \nFor full information\, consult the flier in your language of choice: \nEnglish flier \nPortuguese flier \nSpanish flier

SUMMARY:Overview of Prescribed Fire Liability in State Law with Sara Clark
DESCRIPTION:In this 90-minute webinar\, Sara Clark will provide an overview of prescribed fire liability in state law\, including definitions of liability and how state laws defining liability interact with certified burn manager programs\, tribal sovereignty and cultural burning\, and prescribed fire insurance. Sara will provide examples from California and a selection of other states that have defined prescribed fire liability in state law\, including an overview of the California Prescribed Fire Claims Fund Pilot that began operating in 2023. This webinar is intended for those who are new to the issue of prescribed fire liability or those more experienced who would like an overview of the subject\, especially anyone about to engage on similar policy initiatives in their state or jurisdiction. \nRegister here: https://tnc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GJOas2ICRB6dtH9Hg56Czw#/registrationSara Clark is a partner at the public interest law firm Shute\, Mihaly\, & Weinberger LLP based in San Francisco\, California. Sara has worked extensively on prescribed fire liability\, including an instrumental role in passage of California’s legislation defining gross negligence for suppression costs and establishment of the Prescribed Fire Claims Fund Pilot. She was a co-author of the Good Fire report for the Karuk Tribe\, an analysis of barriers to the expansion of cultural burning and recommended solutions. Watch for Good Fire II in February 2024! \n

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration: Successfully Bridging the Gap: Eastern US Models of Fire Science and Management Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Land management programs are frequently confronted with the imperative of incorporating the most advanced scientific knowledge into their decision-making processes along with filling voids in research needed to move along effective management. Nevertheless\, the persistent disparities between the realms of science and management often impede effective collaboration. In this panel\, we will draw inspiration from successful case studies in the eastern United States\, where land managers and scientists have forged pioneering partnerships\, yielding tangible advancements in the field.\n\n\nThis panel discussion is pending approval for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters.\n\nRegister here: https://www.fuelingcollab.com/episode-4-4
