Webinar: Too Much, Too Little or Just Right? Forest regeneration in fire-adapted landscapes
Join the Rocky Mountain Research Station and the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes for an upcoming land manager-focused LIGHTNING TALK webinar dedicated to forest regeneration and reforestation in western fire-adapted forests. Short science presentations will highlight what is happening with regeneration following fire and forest treatments plus considerations and tools for reforestation. Discussion and Q&A during this session will facilitate information exchange between scientists and managers.
Status of Knowledge Hear from three subject-matter experts on recent literature summarizing what is known about post-fire reforestation; natural regeneration following thinning and burning treatments; and natural regeneration under climate change:
• Paula Fornwalt, Research Ecologist, Rocky Mountain Research Station
• Camille Stevens-Rumann, Assistant Director for Ecological Research and Monitoring, Colorado Forest Restoration Institute
• Tzeidle Wasserman, Analyst Coordinator, Ecological Restoration Institute Research Applications and Tools
Hear from three subject-matter experts on tools to understand landscape regeneration potential and methods for planting success:
