Too Much, Too Little or Just Right? Forest regeneration in fire-adapted landscapes
Co-hosted by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes
Join us 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:
- Jeremy Pinto, Tribal Nursery Specialist & Research Plant Physiologist, Rocky Mountain Research Station
- Kas Dumroese, National Nursery Specialist & Research Plant Physiologist, Rocky Mountain Research Station
- Kyle Rodman, Research Scientist, Ecological Restoration Institute
