We would like to thank all our speakers, attendees, sponsors, and vendors for a successful event!
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.
Below you can find resources from the workshop.
