Speakers will share the benefits and challenges of all-lands post-fire restoration strategies and collaborative forest management and wood utilization carbon scenario analysis, as well as how these projects have been developed in collaboration with agency land managers and NGOs.

Learning Objectives:

Gain a greater understanding of how partnerships including non-profit organizations can assist with meeting post fire restoration, pre-fire risk reduction, and carbon budgeting goals
understand carbon implications of management practices to reduce fires risk or accelerate post-fire restoration
model how to approach cross-jurisdictional post-fire planning across large landscapes to support site-specific implementation planning
understand the benefits of collaborative planning efforts to holistically restore post-fire landscapes
consider how to encourage climate-smart management practices across boundaries and forest types
