We had a wonderful week in Santa Fe, New Mexico with 470 attendees at the 4th Southwest Fire Ecology Conference! With 250 presentations and an amazing set of plenaries, workshops, field trips, and discussion groups, we brought the theme of "The Southwest Fire Science Journey: Lessons from the Rearview, New and Unfamiliar Routes, and Promising Horizons" to life. Thank you to everyone who participated (attendees: make sure to take this quick survey) and shared your knowledge and high energy throughout the week!
The conference program, including abstracts and speaker bios, is available on the conference website. Videos highlighting the key lessons of our two plenary panels on 1) beneficial fire and 2) workforce development and education will be released in spring 2025.
