Here's a short feature on the LiDAR project we're working on with the AZ Department of Forestry and Fire Management and the Coconino NF!
The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management and USDA Forest Service Flagstaff Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest are using Inflation Reduction Act funding to support forest restoration projects to decrease the wildfire risk to communities.

The hottest temperatures of 2024 are hitting cities across the United States. July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded. Every month in the last year: Each one broke its previous record for highest average temperature. After a wet winter, there is a lot more vegetation to burn, especially in these high risk areas. Learn how you can protect your properties today. Data taken from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) #StopWildfires
An important component of our wildfire resilience strategy.
A quick look at #CALFIRE's ongoing efforts in #PrescribedFire, this burn occurred in Inyo County earlier this month.

Knowing the number of users, & when they use the walking or cycling trails you are responcible for, is not just a nice-to-have. The problem historically is that counters have been expensive to install and in most cases come with inconvenient data access and collection methods. Our solutions are not: either expensive or difficult to access data. Over 98% of our installs send data daily, directly to our servers where you can access your reports as and when you want.

Here is a good example on the multiple benefits that urban trees bring in to cities specially for the environment and human health. #moretreesneededincities #treescanhelpcooldownthetemperature
Trees in cities offer numerous benefits to both the environment and human health. 🌳 Benefits of urban forests include: 💦 Improvements in water quality 🌬 Improvements in air quality 😇 Improvements in physical and mental health Learn more about the benefits of urban forestry 👇🌲 via Florida Forest Service

Urban tree planting will increase in importance as our cities get hotter / more challenging to survive in during heatwaves. 🔥❄️ Urban cooling by street trees and other planting can be as significant as several degrees C° 🙂🚑 It could be the difference between surviving or not, for some sectors of the population. 🌳 Many other benefits too, as great reports like these illustrate 📝 There can be challenges in agreeing planting locations due to underground services, visibility around traffic, and maintenance concerns. Cities need to plan for this at strategic levels to ensure masterplanning allows tree planting at specifications that allows successful tree growth 🌳🌳🌳💚

Urban Green Spaces, an aspect that urban planners and developers often overlook in their development plans. The benefits of urban forestry cannot be underscored,yet we continue "devouring" green spaces in cities for infrastructure unreservedly. We tend to think sustainability is strongly anchored on beautiful buildings and booming economy(an expensive misconception) forgetting that even these structures need a healthy environment. I'm happy my M.Sc. project focuses on scientific approaches of integrating urban forestry initiatives to cushion urban climate change, carbon sequestration, and pollution control for human health improvement, resilience and sustainability of urban areas.

It's cone survey season! We're all looking for cones, by which I mean federal and state agencies, private industries, and non-profits. Help us out by learning more about what is needed to restore evergreen and mixed conifer forests. The pocket guide includes instructions on how to submit a survey point on Survey123, no account needed!
New pocket guide empowers communities to collect seeds and support reforestation! … Seed collection is a critical first step in successful reforestation projects. The new ‘California Cone Hunter’s Pocket Guide’ serves as an in-the-field reference for those assisting with seed surveys and seed collection in support of post-fire reforestation efforts. … Learn how the guide was collaboratively developed and how to get it. >> https://lnkd.in/gq58T7HY … USDA Forest Service California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) American Forests … #WildfireTaskForce #TaskForceProgress #Reforestation
In our June Newsletter, we featured Ali San Gil, Director of State, Private, and Tribal Forestry, National Forest Systems – Forest Management, for the USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region. Learn more about Ali in our "Meet a Forester" blog post! https://lnkd.in/grdms5Qi
Now is the time to trim trees, bushes, and tidy up plants around your home to create a “defensible space” around your property. As you begin spring clean-up, the Oregon Department of Forestry and Keep Oregon Green urge you to put some extra thought into how you plan to dispose of your yard debris. By taking that extra step, you can help prevent the next large wildfire.
This morning, the House Agriculture Committee advanced the Farm, Food and National Security Act of 2024 (HR 8467). American Forests looks forward to continued discussions between the chambers and ultimately a bipartisan bill. The Farm Bill, renewed every five years, provides a crucial opportunity to support public, private and Tribal forests. American Forests is hopeful that Congress can come together to address key areas such as reforestation needs, urban and community forestry programs, forest landowner empowerment and all-lands wildfire resilience through this year’s #FarmBill. https://lnkd.in/eXWDhMKV
