Presenters: Dr. Heidi Huber-Stearns, Associate Research Professor and Director, Ecosystem Workforce Program, University of Oregon; John Moriarty, Associate Director, McKenzie Valley Long Term Recovery Group; Melvin Kendall, Program Director, Glide Revitalization

After a fire, communities have to work together to organize their recovery effort. Local governments and community groups are on the front lines of figuring out what this looks like in their local contexts. A social scientist and a long-term recovery group leader describe the social and organizational processes through which recovery can happen, and how communities may proactively plan for recovery.

Revive the Future: Transforming Post-Wildfire Recovery in the Northwest Fall 2024 Lunch and Learn Webinar Series

Following another significant wildfire season in the Northwest, many communities and managers are yet again focused on postfire recovery and management. The questions at hand are diverse: How do we cope with watershed impacts and restore burned landscapes? How do we ensure that landowners can access resources to replant? What does community recovery look like from a social and organizational standpoint? How do people recreate in and relate to post-fire and landscapes. Together, how do we recover, reforest, and seek resilience most effectively? Join us for a webinar series to encourage broad reflection and discussion on these questions. Wednesdays from 12 pm–1 pm PDT: October 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th; November 5th.
