New River Conservancy - New River Symposium 2026
2026 New River Symposium at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC from April 9 – April 10, 2026.
Aquatic Connectivity Framework Update
In June 2024, the USDA announced an unprecedented investment in WLFW, including the launch of an Aquatic Connectivity Framework. This ecosystem-level plan transitions WLFW’s aquatic efforts from single-species initiatives to a broader landscape-scale approach across 16 states. The written framework plan will capture the science documenting the threats to biomes and the wildlife that are part of them, the conservation actions that NRCS can support to address these threats and benefit producers, and the NRCS goals for implementing these actions over time. The framework also is a way to guide the work of NRCS state offices, provide technical and financial assistance for on the ground conservation, and influence local, state and federal conservation policies.
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.
