For our Winter 2024 webinar series, your Dry Side OSU Extension forestry and fire folks teamed up for a deeper dive into thinning and fire risk management. We started with sessions that can help you determine how much thinning is enough to achieve your forest health and fire risk reduction objectives, then we went into detail on the varied impacts of fuel reduction techniques, with emphasis on what happens to soil and plant biomes. We also expanded upon recommendations for rangeland management, and shared some detail on high elevation whitebark pine populations.
Each session included approximately 90 minutes of web-based presentation and group interaction. Recordings of the webinars, along with lots of recommended information resources, are available under the Class Resources and Recordings tab.
