Oak, Fire and Mesophication: Past, current and future trends of oak in the eastern United States: Fire has been a preeminent force over much of the eastern United States for multi-millennia. As such, pyrogenic vegetation types dominated this region in pre-European times, including oak, oak-pine, and pine savannas/woodlands/forests and tallgrass prairies.

Oak Woodlands & Forests Fire Consortium Webinar: Reconstructing pre-European fire regimes, forests and wildlife habitats in the eastern United States: Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky

Prescribed Fire and Bats Webinar: With bat populations declining due to white-nose syndrome and other factors, it is critical to strike a balance between the use of prescribed fire for managing natural areas and the need to protect bats and their critical habitats.

The Planning for Growth and Open Space Conservation Webinar Series: Session #26: Using Social Marketing and Micro Targeting to Engage and Move Woodland Owners to Stewardship.

LANDFIRE Data Applications for Research in Fire Ecology, Forest Mgmt in California: Brandon Collins presents the second in a series of webinars that LANDFIRE co-hosts with the California Fire Science Consortium. Collins is a USFS Research Forester based in Davis, CA, whose interests involve characterizing effects of fire and fuels treatments on forests at both the stand and landscape levels. He says, "My research intends to provide meaningful information to managers interested in improving forest resiliency and incorporating more natural fire-vegetation dynamics across landscapes."

LANDFIRE Data Applications for Research in Fire Ecology and Forest Management: Brandon Collins is on deck for the second in a series of webinars that LANDFIRE is co-hosting with the California Fire Science Consortium. Scheduled for noon PT, the November 2 webinar will examine LANDFIRE data applications for research in fire ecology and forest management.

Finding the best science available on fire ecology and fire regimes in tallgrass prairie and oak woodland ecosystems: Managers and planners need scientifically sound information on historical fire regimes and contemporary changes in fuels and fire regimes in tallgrass prairie and oak woodland ecosystems to make informed management decisions.

Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment Webinar: U.S. Forest Fragmentation and Land Cover Patterns: Forest fragmentation continues even as total forestland area remains relatively stable.

Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) Workspaces: The Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) program develops win-win approaches with producers and private landowners. WLFW partners understand that collaboration is critical to enhance wildlife habitat and improve agriculture and forest productivity. We can continue to strengthen collaboration -- especially between technical experts from federal and state agencies and non-government partner staff -- through the WLFW workspaces. The WLFW workspaces provide online infrastructure and space for partners to share their expertise with one another, exchange resources and ideas, and plan work together on a certain species, a given habitat or land use, or a specific project. A subset of the resources here are available to producers, landowners, and communities who are interested in, or involved with, the WLFW program.

Lucas Furman: The Longleaf Alliance & SE Fire Map: Lucas Furman is the GIS Coordinator at the Longleaf Alliance; in this role he also serves as a project liaison for the Southeast Fire Map. He shares about the importance of collaboration across stakeholder groups to develop good planning tools and serve all actors in a landscape.

Landscape-scale Conservation Planning: A basic overview of the principles and methods for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative, including a discussion on the major goals of landscape conservation.

Landscape-scale Conservation Planning: A basic overview of the principles and methods for the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative, including a discussion on the major goals of landscape conservation. Dr. Rob Baldwin, Professor, Clemson University

Representative Species and Conservation Design: Andrew Milliken,North Atlantic LCC, LCC Coordinator

Representative Species and Conservation Design: A presentation on the need for representative species to help develop maps, tools and landscape designs focused on providing habitat for multiple species, to help understand the current and future capability of landscapes to support fish and wildlife populations, and to help guide strategic decisions about how much of what habitat conservation actions are needed where to sustain populations.

Vulnerability Assessment: Dr. Olivia LeDee, Postdoctoral Associate, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dept. of Forest and Wildlife Ecology, Madison, Wi.University of Minnesota, Working with the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes LCC

Vulnerability Assessment: Assessing climate vulnerability and integrating this information into the planning process.

Integrated Federal Resources for Ecosystem Protection: This webinar discusses the framework for federal resources coordination in regard to ecosystem protection, describing the objectives, integrating values, identifying priority areas, and protecting the landscape.
