Modernizing 4FRI Implementation Progress After Two Years

Fall 2019 marked two years since Forest Service (FS) staff, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and industry partners were convened by the Ecological Restoration Institute (ERI) in Phoenix to identify efficiency and modernization actions that could be tested during 4FRI implementation. On Tuesday and Wednesday, October 29^th and 30^th, 2019, these partners reconvened at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona to:

• Review the status of modernization actions identified during the fall 2017 workshop that are underway as a part of 4FRI implementation;
• Discuss lessons learned with an emphasis on operational experiences, challenges, troubleshooting, and future application;
• Promote learning using a field trip and discussion sessions; and
• Explore benefits and issues of partnerships in a two-way dialogue between the Forest Service and partners.
