The U.S. Forest Service’s Wildfire Crisis Strategy, & the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that is funding the agency’s initial investments to reduce wildfire risk under the Strategy, both call for considering equity & environmental justice when implementing projects. This webinar present practical applications of research on the environmental justice implications of hazardous fuels reduction, including new tools, that help address this need.
This event is part of a series:
