Prioritizing prescribed fire areas: a geographical approach

Click here to check out NAFSE’s February 2016 research brief. This month we searched for a recent paper using LANDFIRE data in preparation for our March 16th webinar highlighting LANDFIRE as a resource. We found a very recent paper out of Wisconsin by Tracy Hmielowski and colleagues using LANDFIRE vegetation and fire return intervals to help pinpoint high priority areas for prescribed fire in the WUI, and throughout the state. Don’t miss this brief describing Hmielowski et. al.’s methods to find out how you might be able to use them for your own area!
