A Forest Service employee ignites a prescribed fire.
The USDA Forest Service Research and Development is proud to host a series of SCIENCEx Fire panel discussions intended for fire, fuels and land managers on topics associated with the Wildfire Crisis Strategy and beyond. Ten SCIENCEx Fire panel discussions will provide big picture and synthetic looks at the current state of knowledge and management considerations for each topic. Each panel is comprised of expert practitioners and researchers from the Forest Service, universities, other land management organizations, industry and non-governmental organizations. Pre-registration is required, and each recorded session will be 90-minutes in length. Learn more on the R&D website.
