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. In response to community concerns regarding these climatic fluctuations across our landscape\, MSI and partners began the Forest & Fire Learning Series in the spring of 2018. For the past three years\, this lecture series has offered information and resources to how we\, as a community\, can better understand and approach local climatic changes using the best available science and landscape expertise to promote both ecological and community resilience. \nThere are many increasingly relevant conversations to address\, one of which is the context of historical fire regimes – though 2021 may not prove to be an intense fire year\, impacts from climate change suggest that fire events with increased frequency will occur. As our community continues to experience the fluctuations in climatic extremes alongside the consequences of more than a century of wildfire suppression throughout the West\, we must discuss what it means to cultivate community resilience within the context of the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, historical fire regimes\, and societal relationships to wildfire. The relationships and responses people have to wildfire can be complex and multi-faceted\, which is why MSI aims to include what varying areas of science have to say about fire\, forests\, and community resilience. \nTo continue exploring these ideas\, MSI is preparing for its 4th annual Forest & Fire Learning Series with the intent to educate and engage our community. 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.

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:MSI Forest & Fire Learning Series- Moving Forward
DESCRIPTION:MOVING FORWARD \nLearn about the social implications of post-fire landscape recovery and La Plata County’s Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) with Dr. Chad Kooistra (Wildfire Management Research Project Lead\, Public Lands Policy Group\, Colorado State University) and Alison Layman (Planner I\, La Plata County). \n  \n\n  \nSince 2017\, the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado have experienced exceptional drought and fire alongside record snowpack and swollen rivers. In response to community concerns regarding these climatic fluctuations across our landscape\, MSI and partners began the Forest & Fire Learning Series in spring of 2018. For the past two years\, this lecture series offered information and resources to how we\, as a community\, can better understand and approach local climatic changes using the best available science and landscape expertise to promote both ecological and community resilience. \nWhile 2020 may provide adequate snowpack and spring runoff\, there are many increasingly relevant conversations to address. One of these is the context of historical fire regimes – though 2020 may not prove to be an intense fire year\, impacts from climate change suggest that fire events with increased frequency will occur. As our community continues to experience the fluctuations in climatic extremes alongside the consequences of more than a century of wildfire suppression throughout the West\, we must discuss what it means to cultivate community resilience within the context of the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, historical fire regimes\, and societal relationships to wildfire. Indeed\, the relationships and responses people have to wildfire can be complex and multi-faceted\, which is why MSI aims to include what varying areas of science\, such as ecology\, tourism\, and sociology\, have to say about fire\, forests\, communities\, and resilience. \nTo continue exploring these ideas\, MSI is preparing for its 3rd annual Forest & Fire Learning Series on it’s Facebook page with the intent to educate and engage our community in this time of social and physical distancing. The overarching theme of this series will be resilience: historical resilience to wildfire in our forests\, management techniques used to improve ecosystem and community resilience\, resilience and tourism\, and the importance of building a culture that accepts living with wildfire. Each evening will offer two livestream presentations followed by Q&A from viewers in Facebook.

SUMMARY:Fire & Forests Learning Series Part III: Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Michael Remke \nFire & Forests Learning Series\nPart III: Resilience Post 416 Fire\nNovember 6th\, 6-8 pm\nPowerhouse Science Center\nDurango\, CO\n\n  \nTo close the series\, we will direct the conversation to the lessons learned by our community post-416 Wildfire and how experts and local leaders are addressing these effects in regard to ecological and community resilience.\nPanel\n\n\nKelly Barsanti: Chemical and Environmental Engineering Professor at UC Riverside\n\n\nBrad Piehl: Watershed Planner\, JW Associates Inc. in Breckenridge\, CO\n\n\nBrad Pietruszka: Fuels Manager\, San Juan National Forest\n\n\n\nThe Series\nAs we reflect on the past two years here in the San Juan Mountains\, we see a contrast from extreme drought and fire on our doorstep to record snowpack and swollen rivers. While we see two extremes across the years\, we must ask the question: where do 2018 and 2019 fit within the context of historic fire regimes\, the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, and the lens of climate change? Change is happening to the landscape we call home. How do we\, as a community\, approach those fluctuations using the best available science and knowledge of past change to promote both ecological and community resilience? Mountain Studies Institute (MSI) will be hosting a learning series to engage our community\, in conversation\, about the changing forests in the San Juan Mountains. The overarching theme to this series will be resilience: ecosystem resilience to fire\, the impacts of post-fire conditions on ecosystems and communities\, the use of forest management techniques to advance ecosystem and community resilience\, and the need to build a culture within our communities of learning to understand the importance of and live with fire. This series will occur over three evenings: October 23rd\, October 30th\, and November 6th. The evenings will include short presentations and panel discussions with community participation in the discussion. \nWe invite you to join the conversation and help to inform a community approach to living with fire.

SUMMARY:Fire & Forests Learning Series Part II: Post Fire Effects
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Michael Remke \nFire & Forests Learning Series\nPart II: Post-Fire Effects\nOctober 30th\, 6-8 pm\nPowerhouse Science Center\nDurango\, CO\n  \nThis second night will focus on the current conditions of our forests and the effects of fire\, both prescribed and wild\, on the landscape. We will hear from experts talk about the geomorphological\, aquatic\, and ecological changes that occur post-fire.\nPanel\n\n\nAndrew Gleason: Lecturer of Geosciences\, Fort Lewis College\n\n\nScott Roberts: Water Programs Director\, Mountain Studies Institute\n\n\nDr. Julie Korb: Associate Professor\, Fort Lewis College\n\n\n\nThe Series\nAs we reflect on the past two years here in the San Juan Mountains\, we see a contrast from extreme drought and fire on our doorstep to record snowpack and swollen rivers. While we see two extremes across the years\, we must ask the question: where do 2018 and 2019 fit within the context of historic fire regimes\, the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, and the lens of climate change? Change is happening to the landscape we call home. How do we\, as a community\, approach those fluctuations using the best available science and knowledge of past change to promote both ecological and community resilience? Mountain Studies Institute (MSI) will be hosting a learning series to engage our community\, in conversation\, about the changing forests in the San Juan Mountains. The overarching theme to this series will be resilience: ecosystem resilience to fire\, the impacts of post-fire conditions on ecosystems and communities\, the use of forest management techniques to advance ecosystem and community resilience\, and the need to build a culture within our communities of learning to understand the importance of and live with fire. This series will occur over three evenings: October 23rd\, October 30th\, and November 6th. The evenings will include short presentations and panel discussions with community participation in the discussion. \nWe invite you to join the conversation and help to inform a community approach to living with fire.

SUMMARY:WHAT'S NEXT: 416 Fire Open House
DESCRIPTION:The 416 Fire is contained\, and while it may smolder till snowfall\, it’s time for our community to ask\, “what’s next?” Join the open conversation with experts from across disciplines\, agencies\, and organizations. Whether you’re interested in water quality and fish\, protecting your home from fires & floods\, trail access\, or how you can help monitor and restore the forest\, this event is designed to answer your questions and brainstorm solutions. \n5:00-6:30 pm: Panel discussion on next steps and questions\n6:30-8:00 pm: Themed table conversations to answer questions and brainstorm solutions\nThroughout: food for purchase & resources from key partners  \nPanel:\nMatt Janowiak (San Juan National Forest)\nJim White (Colorado Parks and Wildlife)\nJulie Korb (Fort Lewis College)\nButch Knowlton (La Plata County Emergency Management)\nBrian Divine (San Juan Basin Health). \nFollowing the panel\, community members will be invited to engage with their own ideas of “what’s next” based on key areas of interest. Themed tables staffed by local leaders of every subject will offer the opportunity for participants to delve deeper into conversations around their own questions or solutions. Table themes include\, but are not limited to: fish and wildlife\, forest resilience\, economics\, river health\, recreation\, human health and safety\, and private land mitigation. You’re welcome to join one table for the whole session or wander around the room to answer various curiosities. \nIn addition to the community discussions\, each partner will bring resources and their own ideas of “What’s Next” to share\, so attendees will walk away with countless options for engaging in recovery from the 416 Fire. Food and beverages will be available for purchase during the event. \nThis is an opportunity to bring our community together around unanswered questions and next steps after the 416 Fire. Moving forward\, we hope we can use this fire as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of fire in our local ecosystems\, and how we interact with it.

SUMMARY:Bridging the Divide: Growing from the Ashes
DESCRIPTION:Bridging the Divide: \nGrowing from the Ashes\nSeptember 7th\, 5-8 pm\nSeptember 8th\, 9 am – 3 pm\nWolf Creek Ski Area & South Fork Visitors Center\n  \nNote: This event was originally scheduled for June 22-23rd\, but due to multiple active fires in the area has been rescheduled for September 7-8th. \nAlthough FREE\, registration is required for both events so that we can make sure to have enough food. Register HERE. \nMountain Studies Institute\, San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership\, Firewise of Southwest Colorado\, Southern Rockies Fire Science Network\, and the Rio Grande and San Juan National Forests are offering communities affected by the 2013 West Fork Fire an opportunity to discuss the history of the fire\, current conditions\, and what the future may bring. \nJoin us from 5:00 – 8:00 pm on September 7th for FREE FOOD\, BEER and Conversation at the Wolf Creek Ski Area. Sponsored by Riff Raff Brewing Co\, Three Barrels Brewing\, and the Wolf Creek Ski Area. \nIn 2002\, the Million Fire burned 9\,346 acres near South Fork\, CO\, costing $9.8 million in firefighting costs. In 2013\, the same area was struck by the West Fork Fire Complex\, which burned over 109\,049 acres of the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests and cost over $31 million. Five and 16 years later\, we are bringing together communities\, land managers\, and scientists from both sides of the continental divide to reflect on the Million and West Fork fires\, discuss post-burn treatments and changes to the landscape\, and think about the future of our communities and forests. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn September 8th\, from 9:00am to 3:00pm\, there will be an opportunity to tour the burn areas with resource specialists\, emergency responders\, community members and land managers.\nWe will meet at the South Fork Visitor Center\, organize into vans\, and drive to diverse burn areas to talk about the effects of the fire\, how the burn area is recovering\, and how communities are adapting. Lunch will be provided by the San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership and Firewise of Southwest Colorado. Wear appropriate shoes\, be prepared for weather\, and if you have a hard hat\, please bring it along. \nTo watch a video series on the West Fork Fire Complex created by the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network\, go here.
