Disturbance: The Art and Ecology of Change

Disturbance is a new interdisciplinary project by The Paseo Project, Del Fuego, and the Forest Stewards Guild, that brings artists, scientists, and community members together to examine wildfire as both a destabilizing force and a generative ecological process. With The PASEO Biennial returning in 2027, Disturbance unfolds as this year’s program of research, creation, and public engagement, culminating in a community exhibition opening August 28, 2026, and continuing through the fall.

New Hampshire Prescribed Fire Story

New Hampshire’s increasingly severe droughts, including the record‑setting conditions in 2025, have heightened wildfire risk across the region. The Saco Wildfire Resiliency Project addresses these challenges in the wildland–urban interface of the Mount Washington Valley by reducing fuels and reintroducing fire in a pine‑oak community. This webinar will outline the project’s planning and implementation, the logistical and social considerations of burning near communities, and ongoing research on post‑fire pine health.

Introduction to the AKVEG Map: A repeatable, ecologically detailed vegetation map for Alaska with Timm Nawrocki

The Alaska Vegetation (AKVEG) Map provides consistent and detailed vegetation spatial data across Alaska at a 10-m resolution, representing vegetation types defined in the U.S. National Vegetation Classification. The map consists of multiple components to adapt to a variety of user needs. Most users will likely find the categorical map easiest to interpret while quantitative maps of vegetation composition provide analytical flexibility for statistical analyses.

Maine Prescribed Fire Story

Interest in prescribed fire for various land management objectives is growing across the northeastern United States, offering a unique opportunity to study its effects on soil and litter. Our research group at the University of Maine evaluated immediate aboveground and belowground responses to an experimental prescribed burn conducted by the Maine Forest Service in May 2026 within a red oak/ mixedwood forest type. Ongoing forest floor measurements and a decomposition experiment will clarify how prescribed fire affects nutrient cycling and long-term forest productivity. Alongside the ecological study, a Learn & Burn event brought together agency staff, land managers, and community members for prescribed fire education, while students gained practical fire management training.
