Fire Management and Silviculture in Oak Ecosystems
Prescribed fire is a crucially important management tool for oaks. Presenters will discuss prescribed fire as well as the importance of mechanical treatments. This webinar will feature land managers and researchers.
Oak Woodlands & Forests Fire Consortium Webinar - Developing new fuel models for fire modeling of novel ecosystems in the Cross Timbers ecoregion
We modeled test burns in mechanically treated and untreated ERC-encroached Cross Timbers forests to assess common fire modeling program capability to match observed fire behavior using a commonly used regional fuel model, best match fuel model, custom fuel model, and plant canopy inputs.
Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion Series - Storms and Strategy: Understanding the Impacts of Hurricanes on Wildfire and Prescribed Fire in the Southeast
In this Fueling Collaboration panel discussion, we’ll dive into the complex relationship between hurricanes and wildland fire. Join scientists, land managers, and fire practitioners as they share insights on how storm events affect prescribed fire planning, post-storm fire behavior, and ecosystems. We’ll explore case studies from the coastal and southern Appalachians, and discuss strategies for adapting fire management in a dynamic region.
Do You Hear What I Hear? - A Sensory Portrait of Wildland Fire
PANEL DISCUSSION: Thursday, December 11, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM EST
Join our SFE webinar Wednesday: Large Wildfire Patterns and Drivers in the Eastern US
We hope you'll join us this Wednesday at 1:00 PM ET for our next fire science webinar. You can also register for our December webinar exploring the new Prescribed Burn Planner tool.
SFE Webinar: Utilizing Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) for Land Management by US Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast
A free one-hour webinar hosted by the Southern Fire Exchange, the US Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast, the University of Florida IFAS, and the Joint Fire Science Program.
Prescribed Fire for Forest Management Webinar Series
Foresters and land managers have many management tools at their disposal. A tool that’s often overlooked is prescribed fire. Prescribed fire for forest management is important for ecosystem health, forest regeneration, wildlife habitat, forest health, and disease control. Join us for insightful discussions with national experts as we discuss forest management using prescribed fire. Learn some of the practical knowledge of where, when, why, and how to apply fire in forest ecosystems.
SFE Webinar: Fueling Collaboration
A series of interactive panel discussions designed to connect fire managers and researchers. Each discussion will be built on questions from the registered attendees. We're working to bring people together to discuss, explore, and address the latest fire science and fire management issues across the eastern United States.
Prescribed Fire Effects on Water Quality in the Southern Appalachians April 22nd, 12:00-1:00 EST
Kipling Klimas (Utah State University) will discuss his work assessing the impact of prescribed fire on high value forested watersheds in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains.
Upcoming Webinar: Introduction to the Southeast FireMap
A free webinar for practitioners and the public to learn about the Southeast FireMap with representatives from USDA-NRCS, Tall Timbers Research Station, the Longleaf Alliance, the Southern Fire Exchange, and the University of Florida.
You're Invited! Perspectives on Prescribed Fire Management in Longleaf Pine Ecosystems
SE CASC & South Atlantic Spring/Summer Science Series July 16 2020.
National Extension Wildland Fire Initiative Quarterly Meeting
Join the National Extension Wildland Fire Initiative for our quarterly Zoom meeting. This meeting will feature brief presentations on emerging wildland fire Extension projects in Pennsylvania and Florida. We will also discuss ways NEWFI members across the country have adapted to offering wildland fire programming remotely due to restrictions related to COVID-19.
