EDUCATION AND OUTREACH

As researchers and educators, one of our biggest challenges is bridging the gap between research, teaching, and outreach.  This is especially true when it comes to getting pertinent information in the hands of those who make the most difference—private landowners.  As we discover practical solutions to natural resource management problems, we will share those solutions with private landowners and other resource managers via our Research Highlights publications, newsletters, and regional landowner meetings and conferences.

Upcoming Events

Prescribed Fire Symposium - April 8-9, 2010
