They will also provide insight into what their research is saying about post-fire recovery in these systems. \nSpeakers \n• Scott Roberts\, M.S.: Aquatic Ecologist\, Mountain Studies Institute \n• Chuck Rhoades\, Ph.D.: Research Biochemist\, Rocky Mountain Research Station \nLivestream on Mountain Studies Institute YouTube page and Facebook at 6pm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]More about the series: \nSince 2017\, the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado have experienced exceptional drought and fire alongside record snowpack and swollen rivers.

This livestream e-vent will feature a Q&A session following presentations that cover topics of fire adapted communities\, the connection between wildfires and water\, adaptations to COVID19\, wildfire smoke and air quality\, local seasonal outlooks for 2021\, and personal stories of living with fire. Because engagement with a virtual audience is important\, interactive questions will be posed throughout the event to encourage a sense of connection and better understand how to reach community members online. Analytics resulting from these questions and the e-vent as a whole will be drafted in a 1-2 page document and shared with partners\, sponsors\, and local government officials\, and posted to MSI’s website. \nWe invite you to join the conversation\, ask questions\, and help to inform a community approach to living with fire.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Forest & Fire Learning Series: Adapting to the Unprecedented
DESCRIPTION:Adapting to the Unprecedented \nFor our 3rd evening\, Emily Hohman will be explaining how 2020 was a challenging fire year across the US\, with significant wildfire impacts and reductions in prescribed fire activity in some regions. Despite these challenges\, many prescribed fire practitioners successfully worked with their communities and collaboratives to innovate solutions and put good\, beneficial fire on the ground. Emily will look back at lessons learned and key successes from across the US Fire Learning Network before we look forward at strategies for success in 2021\, including the on-going prescribed fire partnership with the San Juan National Forest. Lo Williams will follow up with a conversation about the challenges and successes of 2020 brought to the San Juan National Forest (SJNF). These include human impacts due to increased use of national lands as well as project accomplishment thanks to innovative strategies\, strong community engagement\, and support from local collaboratives. With lessons learned from 2020\, Lo will share the foundations that were laid this past winter to prepare for the 2021 field season and how the SJNF and its partners are planning for the future. \nSpeakers  \n• Emily Hohman: Fire Learning Network Manager\, North America Fire\, The Nature Conservancy \n• Lo Williams: Partnership and Public Affairs Specialist\, USDA Forest Service \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLivestream on Mountain Studies Institute YouTube page and Facebook at 6pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the series:\n\n\n\n\nSince 2017\, the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado have experienced exceptional drought and fire alongside record snowpack and swollen rivers.

SUMMARY:Forest & Fire Learning Series: In Our Backyard – Community Preparedness & Seasonal Outlooks
DESCRIPTION:In Our Backyard – Community Preparedness & Seasonal Outlooks: To wrap up the Forest & Fire Learning Series\, we will learn about local wildfire resources and mitigation efforts with Alex Graf and Gem Boone. Alex will cover some of the many programs and services offered by Wildfire Adapted Partnership (WAP) while Gem shares her experience as a neighborhood ambassador for the Elk Steam Ranch in the East Canyon Community. Her powerful story will outline the coordinated and community-wide response to the East Canyon Fire in the summer of 2020 – by the time Gem received her emergency alert text with the mandatory evacuation order\, the entire community was mostly through its evacuation plan\, phone-trees were completed\, livestock was loaded\, and Gem herself was already driving out of the community with all of her belongings.  Brad Pietruszka will conclude the evening with a presentation that shows seasonal outlooks for both wildfire and prescribed fire across the San Juan National Forest and surrounding areas for 2021. Brad will explain the concept of fire “debt”\, or the amount of fire that is missing from a landscape\, what that means in our changing climate\, and the two paths we can take to prepare for its’ inevitable return. \nSpeakers \n• Alex Graf: Montezuma County Coordinator\, Wildfire Adapted Partnership \n• Gem Boone: Neighborhood Ambassador\, East Canyon Community \n• Brad Pietruszka: Fuels Program Manager\, San Juan National Forest\, USDA Forest Service \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLivestream on Mountain Studies Institute YouTube page and Facebook at 6pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the series: \nSince 2017\, the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado have experienced exceptional drought and fire alongside record snowpack and swollen rivers.
