How do we measure wildfire treatment effectiveness and support better decisions? Join us for a webinar on July 23rd at 1pm MT! -Geospatial tools -Social science -Effectiveness research -ROI studies Register: tnc.zoom.us/meeting/regist… #WildfireScience #FireEcology

Big penstemon fan? Do you know about the endemic species we've been studying for decades? Learn more with our student researcher, Jillian, as she describes what her fieldwork is like. youtu.be/dFin5mJtZH0

Ever seen lidar in action? Our folks this summer are using it to better guide fuel reduction, support community wildfire resilience, and provide better data for local land managers in pinyon-juniper woodlands. youtu.be/ov2PEBrxUwo?si…

Heading to the 17th Biennial Conference of Science & Management at NAU? Don’t miss ERI sessions on forest restoration, collaboration, biochar & more! 🌲 #ColoradoPlateau #ForestRestoration #NAU #WoodForLife #PinyonJuniper #CollaborativeRestoration

For 20+ years, we’ve tracked forest health on the San Francisco Peaks 🌲 This summer, students Lexi, Dan, and Caiden helped measure trees, compare decades of data, and gain hands-on experience—all supporting science-based forest management. youtube.com/watch?v=y99p4O…

Strong partnerships build strong forests. 🌲 Since 2021, the Ecological Restoration Institute and USDA Forest Service have teamed up on the Logging & Forest Roads Institute: training pros in logging systems, road engineering & sustainable forest management. #ForestRestoration

A new nationwide database developed by researchers at NAU is helping land managers determine which fuel treatments best reduce wildfire risk: ow.ly/a4fV50WXeM7

Restoring ponderosa pine forests means creating conditions where fire can burn low + natural. LiDAR scans show forest structure in 3D: tree spacing, canopy, surface fuels to guide restoration. See for yourself TOMORROW at Pines to Pixels! forms.gle/k1vkP6PKEv4a31…

Yesterday at the Flagstaff Festival of Science, we explored how LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) lets us see forests in 3D detail...from tree spacing and canopy layers to surface fuels.

Researchers at the Ecological Restoration Institute are exploring how biochar can boost land management, from restoring soils to capturing carbon. tinyurl.com/5y2555hk
