We were able to reach our workshop goals of sharing successes and lessons learned on cross-boundary collaborative efforts; exploring gaps and needs to better incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in forestry, fuels, and fire research, and management; and co-developing recommendations, strategies, and resources for collaborative landscape-scale restoration projects.

Expectations: We have the privilege of hosting our event at world class facilities on the campus of Colorado State University (CSU). Accordingly, this workshop will follow all rules, procedures, and guidelines established by CSU at the time of the workshop that apply to CSU employees, students, as well as visitors. We wanted to highlight a few items for participants to be aware of that will help ensure a successful workshop.
- Current CSU health and COVID guidelines.
- The CSU Principles of Community help us express what our community stands for and expectations for one another.
- Pronouns will be displayed on all name badges. Here’s background why CSU encourages their use to demonstrate respect and honor people of all identities.
- The CSU land acknowledgement, which emphasizes the relationship between land and people, and between our histories and futures.
- Potential weather closures, safety notifications, and other emergency alerts found here.
