Fuels Management Workshop: Strategies for Protecting Alaska Communities and Resources from Wildfire
May 17-18, 2022, Fairbanks, Alaska, at the Wedgewood Resort in the Taiga Center and a virtual option is available and made possible in part by funding provided through the Kurt Gottschalk Science Fund.
Although it’s the wildfires in the lower 48 that make headlines, the state of Alaska also has large-scale wildfires that threaten communities and natural resources. This meeting features a deep dive into how communities and state and federal agencies can collaborate to mitigate the wildfire risks.
This meeting has an in-person and virtual option. The in-person option includes a continental breakfast, full dinner, and awards banquet, as well as an optional Tanana Chiefs Conference Tribal Tour hosted by the 2022 Intertribal Timber Council Symposium on May 18.
For the safety of all participants, vaccination is required for in-person attendance. For those attending the field trip, proof of vaccination and masks are required.
