July 23rd 3pm ET


Effective landscape-scale wildfire management relies on the seamless integration of diverse datasets from federal and state sources. This webinar introduces the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) ReSHAPE program and its cornerstone tool: the Treatment and Wildfire Interagency Geodatabase (TWIG). TWIG is a comprehensive, open-access geodatabase and interactive viewer that compiles existing fuel treatment and wildfire data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior systems of record, covering all 50 states and 9 territories. Through a brief tool demonstration and discussion of research case studies, attendees will learn how TWIG supports understanding treatment effects, planning effective mitigation strategies, and communicating treatment outcomes and needs.

Presenter: Aidan Franko, RESHAPE Communications Manager, Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes
