The 2026 After the Flames Conference and Workshop will take place April 6-9, 2026 in Cle Elum, Washington.
Students will share their work via webinar and connect with the fire and forestry community to establish productive working relationships.
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
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.
The US Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance Summit 2026 will be held April 14-17, 2026 in Tucson, Arizona.
The 2026 Colorado Wildland Fire Conference will take place in Fort Collins on April 15-16, 2026.
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.
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.
Students will share their work via webinar and connect with the fire and forestry community to establish productive working relationships.
This webinar will explore the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center's ALFRESCO fire modeling and the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) futures.
Students will share their work via webinar and connect with the fire and forestry community to establish productive working relationships.
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.
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.
The 8th International Fire Behaviour and Fuels Conference will take place April 28-May 1, 2026 in Hobart, Tasmania.
ForestSAT 2026 will take place May 4-8 in Gainesville, Florida.
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.
The Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals 15th Biennial Conference will take place May 12-15, 2026 in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Western Collaborative Conservation Network Confluence 2026 will be held May 19-21, 2026 in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Fueling Adaptation: Leveraging Community Capacity to Reduce Wildfire Risk team is wrapping up their research examining how communities in areas of high wildfire risk in Southwest Idaho are adapting to mitigate that risk, and how federal investments made by the U.S. Forest Service leverage existing capacities, networks, and adaptations in fire-prone landscapes.
The 8th Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference will take place June 2-4, 2026 in Bloomington, Indiana.
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.
The International Association for Society and Natural Resources (IASNR) conference emphasizes local to global resource management issues, environmental issues, collaborative stakeholder processes, and the social impacts of natural resource management. It is also a venue for presenting cutting-edge research and engaging in productive discussions focused on the sustainable management of natural resources.
The North American Forest Ecology Workshop will take place June 23-26, 2026 in Missoula, Montana.
The Indigenous Agroforestry Network Gathering brings together land stewards and agroforestry practitioners to share research, and co-learn. The gathering includes keynote presentations, plenary sessions, panel discussions, and agroforestry site visits throughout the South Salish Sea.
