WFFRC
OBJECTIVES

We are developing adaptive fire management frameworks that integrate scientific research and data, traditional knowledge, and stakeholder input to guide decision making.

Using a five-pronged strategy to explore new ways to live more sustainably with fire.

wildfire

Community of Practice

Ensure the research agenda is responsive to decision maker needs and that the best available science guides decision making and adaptation.

soil sampling

Mechanisms of Forest Resilience

Understand and predict where, when, and why the risk of non-reversible forest loss is greatest.

Tracking Forests & Fire

Quantify how fire regimes and forests are changing across the Western US.

forest modeling

Projecting Forests & Fire

Project how forests and fire regimes will change over coming seasons, years, and decades, and determine how current and future stewardship actions may shape future outcomes.

air quality

Consequences for Ecosystem Services

Quantify the consequences of more fire for people, biodiversity, and ecosystem services essential to human wellbeing and economies.
