Conference on

Pre- and Post-Wildfire Forest Management
for Ecological Restoration and Fire Resiliency

Sponsored by
USDA Forest Service and the University of California

This conference brought over three hundred scientists, forest managers, environmental organizations, and interested members of the general public together to present and discuss information relevant to the management of forested land before and after wildfire.

The focus was on the conifer forest types common to the Sierra Nevada and Trinity-Klamath Region of California, but the information presented will have application to similar forest types in other regions.

This conference was attended by:

Scientists engaged in research responses of forested ecosystems to wildfire
Public and private forest managers
Environmental and professional organizations involved with forest management policy
Local government officials and decision-makers
