East Jemez Landscape Futures: A collaborative approach to post-fire
December 15th, 12pm MST
The East Jemez Landscape Futures (EJLF) project is a collaborative, landscape-scale approach to help guide future planning and research efforts in the severely altered landscapes of the eastern Jemez Mountains. EJLF seeks to address uncertainty by building a network of land managers, scientists, artists, NGOs and interested community members to inform future management, identify research needs, and capture stories from individuals and communities who were affected by these changes.
This webinar will share the EJLF experience and lessons learned responding to the complex questions of post-fire landscapes. Hosted by the Burned Area Learning Network and the Southwest Fire Science Consortium
Presenters: Colin Haffey, Sasha Stortz, and Savannah Lehnert
