Pacific Coast fire conference: changing fire regimes, goals and ecosystems

The California Association For Fire Ecology (CAFE), in association with Humboldt State University, is hosting the Pacific Coast Fire Conference: Changing Fire Regimes, Goals and Ecosystems. Fire and fuel managers, planners, implementers, resource specialists, fire ecologists, decision makers, researchers, students and fire fighters should all plan to attend.

Recent high-profile fires exhibiting extraordinary size, severity, or urban-interface effects have captured public attention in California and the Pacific Northwest. Past management activities, weather extremes, and community development patterns may all have contributed to fire spread and effects.

This conference will provide a timely forum for the exchange of information on the ecology and management of fire adapted and affected ecosystems along the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada, from the ocean to the Sierra-Cascade crest, in a time of changing climate and rapid population growth.
