Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion Series Two - Thinking Beyond Fuel Reduction

We often view prescribed fire simply as an alternative to wildfire and as little more than a tool for fuel reduction. This panel will share some of the benefits of controlled burns that go beyond that notion. We'll explore using "goodfire" for food production, reducing disease transmission and more!

Free to the public. Registration required.

Fueling Collaboration is an interactive virtual Panel Discussion Series designed to connect fire managers and researchers. Fueling Collaboration is created and hosted by the USDA Forest Service Northern  and Southern Research Stations, and the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Fire Science Exchanges in the Eastern U.S.. The Series was launched in 2020-2021 with the goal of connecting people throughout the region and across disciplines, exploring emerging fire science research and management considerations.

You may register for one or all Panels - listed below - and with your registration you can submit questions that we will use to craft and guide the  flow of the discussion among the Panelists. Go to each Panel webpage to see the Panelists.
