The Salvage Science Series presented recent research on the effects of post-fire salvage logging and new tools for helping to plan salvage treatments.

This event was a two-stage process. First, participants watched the four pre-recorded webinars. Second, viewers participated in a panel discussion with the event speakers about salvage logging. All recordings are available below.
