Canopy gaps and the processes that generate them play an integral role in shaping the structure and dynamics of forests. However, it is only with recent advances in remote sensing technologies such as airborne laser scanning that studying canopy gaps at scale has become a reality. Consequently, we still lack an understanding of how the […]
Bigleaf maple is normally considered a lower-valued commercial hardwood tree in the Pacific Northwest. However, when rare wood patterns known as figuring are observed throughout a maple log, it may be used in high value products to enhance the appearance of guitars and violins, furniture, and many other specialty items. This presentation provides an overview of […]

Wildfire insurance is a useful tool to shield homeowners from the devastating impacts of wildfires. However, in some high-risk areas —particularly in California—it has become difficult to obtain an affordable policy. Some insurance companies have begun to charge higher premiums, increase deductibles, limit payouts, and even decline to write a policy at all. In these […]
A conversation with the Head of the Regional Eastern Europe Monitoring Center (REEFMC), Professor Sergiy Zibtsez about the historical and current challenges of Ukrainian forest fire management. The event will be moderated by Jameson Karns, ICW's "West on Fire" Assistant Research Director. Further contemporary and historical perspective will be offered by Robert English, Professor of […]
What led people like Aldo Leopold, Benton MacKaye, Ernest Oberholtzer, and Howard Zahniser to become advocates for our parks, forests, and wilderness areas? While researching his latest book, This Land Was Saved for You and Me: How Gifford Pinchot, Frederick Law Olmsted, and a Band of Foresters Rescued America's Public Lands, author Jeffrey Ryan visited the birthplaces and […]
Since 2018, approximately 660,000 acres have seen wildfire within Klamath and Lake Counties, two thirds of which burned at high severity. An additional 45,000 acres of reforestation backlog exists on the Fremont-Winema National Forest from fires prior to 2018. Fortunately, this region has a long history of successful shared stewardship, resulting in increased funding and […]
