SUMMARY:Forests, Fires, and People Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Forests, Fires, and People \nA four-part webinar series presented by the In
 stitute for Science and Policy and the Center for Collaborative Conservatio
 n\nSponsored by Gates Family Foundation\nMarch 22, March 29, April 5, and A
 pril 12 at 5 p.m. MT \nRegister here for the series \n\n\n\n\n\nThe western
  United States has entered a new era of wildfires, no longer limited to a s
 ingle distinct “season,” but rather a year-round burn regime due to hotter,
  drier conditions and increased human settlement in wildland areas. Forest 
 management is a complex societal question inextricably linked to science, p
 olicy, and culture. The reality of living with bigger, more destructive bla
 zes brings challenging tradeoffs around regulation, jurisdiction, risk tole
 rance, funding, mitigation, and forest health. How can stakeholders better 
 work together to create sustainable and equitable solutions for all? \n\n\n
 In our new four-part webinar series, we’ll hear wide-ranging conversations 
 from around the region around the decisions, impacts, and stewardship princ
 iples that guide our collective approach to forest management and fire. Eac
 h episode will feature diverse voices and perspectives focused on exploring
  potential solutions and finding common ground. \n\n\nForests, Fires, and P
 eople is presented by the Institute for Science and Policy and the Center f
 or Collaborative Conservation, with support from Gates Family Foundation in
  partnership with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Colorado For
 est Restoration Institute, the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network, the C
 olorado State Forest Service, and the Climate Adaptation Partnership.\n\n\n
 The series will be recorded and livestreamed on the Institute’s Facebook an
 d YouTube channels. Subscribe now to receive notifications when new episode
 s become available. \n\n\nPart One: Kindling & Sparks\nMarch 22, 5 p.m.
  MT\nWatch the full episode\n\n\nWildfires are a natural phenomenon and hav
 e long played a key role in promoting the broader ecological health of fore
 sts. But for humans, living amidst fire is a delicate balancing act. As man
 agement practices have shifted away from prescribed burns and population gr
 owth has driven more settlement in wildland areas, the risk of catastrophe 
 from any given blaze has only increased. On top of that, climate change has
  created hotter, drier conditions, turning already burn-prone western fores
 ts into a tinder box of available fuel just waiting for ignition. The resul
 t: a new era of larger, more destructive megafires that threaten homes and 
 lives like never before.   \n\n\nPresenters: Tim Brown, Research Professor 
 of Climatology at the Desert Research Institute, and Camille Stevens-Rumann
 , Assistant Professor of Forest & Rangeland Stewardship in Colorado Sta
 te University’s Warner College of Nature Resources.\n\n\nPart Two: The Hist
 oric Fires of 2020\nMarch 29, 5 p.m. MT\n\n\nColorado’s three largest fires
  in recorded history all occurred in 2020, collectively burning more than 6
 25,000 acres while damaging homes and costing lives. Our changing climate s
 uggests that this devastating year may have been a glimpse into the future.
  Decades of population growth in the wildland-urban interface combined with
  regulatory policies and changes in forestry practices have left the region
  vulnerable to more destructive blazes, leaving policymakers and scientists
  with a challenging question: What have we learned, and what decisions migh
 t we consider in the future to protect ourselves and our forests? \n\n\nOur
  four-part wildfire webinar series continues Monday, March 29 at 5 p.m. MT 
 when we welcome Jen Kovecses, Executive Director of the Coalition for Poudr
 e River Watershed, and Russ Schumacher, Colorado State Climatologist and Di
 rector of the Colorado Climate Center. They’ll explore the root causes and 
 deeply personal impacts of 2020’s fires, provide firsthand accounts of the 
 recovery, and then consider possible paths forward.\n\n\nPart Three: The Hu
 man Element\nApril 5, 5 p.m. MT\n\nWildfire’s impacts are deeply personal a
 nd affect us in numerous ways. Fires destroy property and, tragically, ofte
 n cost lives. They can contaminate the nearby air and water. They require s
 ignificant resources in the form of mitigation funding and first responders
 . Fires have also been shown to have a disproportionate impact on low incom
 e households and people of color, who may be among the last to receive aid.
  The question of how and if humans can sustainably live in increasingly fir
 e-prone areas is complicated and tied to cultural identity values that are 
 often at odds. Still, shared stewardship of our forests has never been more
  crucial. \n\n\nTune in for part three in our ongoing wildfire conversation
  series on Monday, April 5 as we’re joined by Heather Hansen, journalist an
 d author of Wildfire: On the Front Lines with Station 8, Wendy Koenig, Mayo
 r of Estes Park, Colorado; and Christopher Roos, Professor of Anthropology 
 at Southern Methodist University. They’ll examine the changing scope of the
  wildland-urban interface, consider humans’ relationship to fire through th
 e lens of Native & Indigenous perspectives, and take stock of the very 
 real costs of fires for people and communities. We invite you to send quest
 ions for the panelists in advance or during the live presentation. \n\n\nPa
