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.
