Meet David Flores, Forest Service Researcher

Hear from David Flores about his research, current projects, and what drives his work as a Forest Service research scientist at the Rocky Mountain Research Station. As a sociologist, he studies how social structures like rules, norms, and organizations either restrict or help a person’s ability to act on their own and make their own choices. David applies these ideas to understand how managers make decisions about natural resources, especially in wildfire management and recreation.
