This was an interactive workshop with regional scientists and land managers, breakout sessions that allowed for open dialogue with participants and presenters, and time for one on one with presenters and others.
Topics covered:
- The ecology of forests and fire of Northern New Mexico
- Current conditions in our forests and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) communities
- How land managers apply science to reduce fire risk and create more resilient forests
- How communities and homeowners can become more fire-adapted
- How forest restoration can protect watersheds and water supplies
