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

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.

Communicating Wildfire Session 2: Journalism and Local Storytelling

October 1, 2026 | 1pm PT/4pm ET

As communities across the world face increasing impacts from wildfires, the ways in which funders and wildfire-focused organizations communicate about their work, fire, and impacts to communities matter immensely. From Smokey the Bear’s, “only you can prevent forest fires” to framing fire as a villain that we must “fight”, how we talk about fire shapes our understanding of both risk and resilience.

We know that wildfire communications are essential to the resilience ecosystem, providing social and information infrastructure that influences how the public views fire and investments that aim to build fire-adapted communities.

Across two sessions (and a funder-only roundtable) participants will hear from wildfire and communications leaders to better understand:

  • What is narrative and framing? Why does it matter? What is narrative change?

  • What are the dominant wildfire narratives and how do they influence the way the public views fire?

  • How are organizations and funders leveraging storytelling and narratives in their work on wildfire?

  • How do the ways in which journalists and local storytellers communicate about fire influence public perspectives and dominant narratives?

Speakers: Dave Spratt, Institute for Journalism and Natural Resources, Tere Negrete, Press Forward, Honolulu Civil beat
