Southwest Interagency Fuels Workshop

Participants will have an opportunity to join discussions regarding lessons learned, new research, and future outlooks in five vegetation types including ponderosa pine, pinyon/juniper, interior chaparral, semi-desert grasslands, and mixed conifer. In addition,this Workshop will provide technical skills related to fuels treatments and ecological restoration in fire-adapted ecosystems.Hands-on workshops will include an overview of available models, smoke management techniques, and specific fuels models. With this, the Workshop will equip program managers with the most up-to-date information on research, fuel treatment applications and computer models that will enable land managers to perform their duties and stay current with regional and national direction.

We encourage Fuels and Vegetation Specialists, Fire Management Officers, Fire Ecologists, and Restoration Ecologists to attend. Travel grants and continuing education credits are available upon application.
