Living Sustainably with Wildfire: Science for Solutions
Join us for a panel discussion on how changing wildfire activity is affecting ecosystems, water resources, and communities, and the importance of science for solutions. The panel is hosted by the Western Fire and Forest Resilience Collaborative and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
Our panelists Lori Moore-Merrell, Hilary Franz, Lara Kueppers, and Winslow Hansen will discuss lessons learned from the LA fires and similar events, regional trends in fire, and risks to water resources and forest health. Panelists will share their experience with the use of science to inform strategies for managing fire in communities, ecosystems, and where they mix.
The conversation will be of interest for anyone concerned with fire, water resources, or climate resilience. Learn how science-based solutions can build resilience in a rapidly changing environment.
Panel Members:
Lori Moore-Merrell, Former US Fire Administrator in the Biden Administration
Hilary Franz, Former Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands
Lara Kueppers, Professor of Climate Change and Ecosystem Dynamics, UC Berkeley
Winslow Hansen, Director Western Fire and Forest Resilience Collaborative and Assistant Scientist, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies
