Remember when sagebrush was a weed and crested wheatgrass was the "golden grass" of the West? This webinar will take you through the evolution of rangeland management from severe grazing damage prior to the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act to the development and use of native species following increasingly large rangeland fires.

Prescribed fire for forest management is important for ​ecosystem health, forest regeneration, wildlife habitat, forest health, and disease control. Join us for insightful discussions with national experts as we discuss forest management using prescribed fire. Learn some of the practical knowledge of where, when, why, and how to apply fire in forest ecosystems.

This webinar from the Texas Prescribed Fire Webinar Series will dig into pre‑burn checks, red flags in weather and fuels, crew readiness, documentation, liability concepts, and how to make conservative decisions when conditions start to drift from the plan.

Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools land managers and landowners have for maintaining fire-dependent ecosystems, improving habitat, and reducing hazardous fuel buildup that increases wildfire risk. Yet, coordinating multiple burns while waiting for the right weather conditions can be challenging. The Prescribed Burn Planner (PBP) was originally developed to help users plan and prioritize prescribed burns by providing weather forecasts for individual burn units, thus hopefully reducing the number of missed burn windows.

In this webinar, we aim to bring together wildfire researchers and practitioners to discuss how we, as people bearing witness to often devastating impacts of wildfire and climate change, can support one another and ourselves to sustain our mental health, wellbeing, and capacity to conduct collaborative and trauma-informed research.

Students will share their work via webinar and connect with the fire and forestry community to establish productive working relationships.

This webinar will cover the results from two recent papers that use the historically frequent-fire forests of the Sierra Nevada California as a case study, to document the extent of beneficial wildfire and current forest conditions, as well as potential ways to leverage recent wildfires to increase forest resilience to future fire.

This webinar will explore the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center's ALFRESCO fire modeling and the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) futures.

This webinar in the Fire Lab Seminar Series will take place Thursday, April 16 at 10am PT/1pm ET.

Join the Southwest Fire Science Consortium to learn about the findings of a national assessment of structured prescribed fire trainings, including recommendations for certifications to ensure safe and effective use of prescribed fire.

This workshop, hosted by Southern Fire Exchange and the Consortium of Appalachian Fire Managers and Scientists, will provide landowners and fire professionals with scientific presentations, field demonstrations, and planning tools to help assess duff conditions, plan effective burns, and protect legacy and economically important trees. This workshop will facilitate an increased understanding of duff fire management and mitigation practices.

The NOAA Firebird project has been working together since 2019 to study the impacts of prescribed fire in gulf coastal high marshes on three birds, the mottled duck, eastern black rail and yellow rail. This webinar will focus on our newly published prescribed fire manual, which contains our results to date on the application of fire, as well as several case studies.

Reforestation success in areas impacted by high-severity wildfire and seasonal moisture limitations require nursery-grown seedlings capable of establishing and surviving in harsh environments. Drought conditioning (i.e. restricted nursery irrigation regimes) has the potential to improve planting outcomes, although assessments of effectiveness based on replicated field trials in operational settings are rare. Here, we present findings from both our experimental greenhouse study as well as survival and performance of outplanted seedlings

Join the Pacific Fire Exchange program (PFX) for a webinar launching new resources that share practical lessons from Hawaiʻi land managers working to reduce wildfire risk in and around gulches.

Native people have successfully stewarded the land for thousands and thousands of years pre-contact. This presentation will delve into fire's role in ecosystem function. Fire is meant to be part of the ecosystem and its absence has had devastating effects on the environment. As wildfires continue to grow in scope and intensity and climate change mitigation becomes ever more essential Traditional Ecological Knowledge has come to the forefront of potential solutions.

The goal of this webinar is to take an in‑depth look at two of the most influential long‑term fire research efforts supported by the Joint Fire Science Program: the Fire and Fire Surrogate (FFS) Study and the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP). These landmark studies provide rare, decades‑long insights into how different fuel treatments and fire management strategies shape ecosystem resilience, fuel dynamics, vegetation structure, and wildlife habitat.

While investments in fire suppression technologies have multiplied, opportunities for restoring fire to forested ecosystems under ecologically and socially appropriate conditions have dwindled. Here we feature new research and decision frameworks designed to bridge the divide between place-based fire planning and the national fire management system, leveraging fire and other fuel treatments as tools supporting restoration of functional, resilient forests and communities.

Join us for insightful discussions with national experts as we discuss forest management using prescribed fire.

The Federal Wildland Fire Workforce Development Program (FWDP) in collaboration with the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program (WFLDP) is offering a learning experience (LX) “Taking Control of Your Time: Prioritizing What Matters Most!” on April 1, 2026.

Join SAFE for SAFE Connections March with Dr. Victoria Donovan! SAFE Connections March will take place Friday, March 27 at 1pm PT/4pm ET.

The Fire Lab Seminar Series provides a platform for researchers and managers to present their work in an environment that encourages critical thought, the free exchange of ideas, and knowledge discovery. 

Senior Spatial Ecologist Sarah Hagen will introduce the new Fire Needs Assessment website and show how it helps users understand landscape conditions and identify where fire is needed to support ecological health. The session covers what an FNA is, how it connects historical ecosystems, current vegetation, and fire regimes, and how anyone can explore fire needs using the site and its downloadable tools.

Forest restoration and fuel reduction treatments are key tools for reducing future fire severity; however, land managers don’t have a good estimate for what percentage of the landscape needs to be treated to restore fire regimes and impact fire resilience. Join this webinar to learn about how treating larger areas in key locations impacts fire effects and how land managers can accomplish it.
