NPR highlighted replanting initiatives in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park in an article earlier today! The issues discussed in the article directly address research being done by our Cross-Park RAD Project in collaboration with managers of these parks - specifically, how to respond to intense or severe fires both during and after the event. Read the article: https://lnkd.in/g5fy6xUz Learn more about the Cross-Park RAD project here (https://lnkd.in/g_ej4Awy) and here (https://lnkd.in/gR7zVwyx)! #wildfire #climateadaptation #climateadaptationscience #adaptationscience #climatescience #rad #decisionmaking #landmanagement #nationalparks

Thanks to goats grazing near Shaver Lake, the regrowth of heavy fuels has slowed and, in some cases, stopped from growing back at all. Watch the natural solution to vegetation management. #wildfiremitigation #goatgrazing #vegetationmanagement

Who likes maps? It's hard to capture the full scope of Marin Wildfire's vegetation management projects with pictures and words alone. That's why we've created this map for Marin County residents to view all completed, ongoing and planned fuel reduction projects that reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and remove invasive species. https://ow.ly/xjqr50TrciV If you live in Marin, you can search by address to see treatment activities near you and view project descriptions and before and after photos to get an idea of project objectives and impact. The map will be updated as new projects are approved. If you are a land manager, what have you found to be effective ways of sharing treatment activities with the public in a way that's comprehensive and relatable?

Fences are a pervasive feature of western working landscapes and a useful management tool, but they also have serious potential to impact wildlife, with some acting as movement barriers and others causing injury or even death. They are of particular concern for migratory populations of big game in the western United States, where herds often move hundreds of miles between seasonal ranges. Check out our new technical note: https://buff.ly/4a0GiMb The note covers a variety of topics from inventory to monitoring and presents design alternatives from avoiding fence impacts altogether to minimizing and mitigating impacts through “wildlife-friendlier” fence options.

Our latest issue of The Point Blue Quarterly is out and available here https://lnkd.in/gUc2yzj. In this issue, you’ll read about our expanded role across a much larger geographic scale, via the grantmaking work we’re doing across 13 countries to support local shorebird conservation groups in North, Central, and South America. You’ll read about the dramatically scaled up impact of our mountain meadow restoration work, through which we plan to conserve or restore 30,000 acres of meadows by 2030. You’ll read about how we’re supporting 65 new restoration projects on farms, ranches, and other working lands, covering all corners of California with new and more diverse partners. And you can read about how our data management platforms and science protocols are helping the Department of Defense manage ecological observations across 27 million acres of land. #conservation #impact #atscale #mountainmeadows #LatinAmerica #wetlands #DepartmentofDefense #RootsPorgram #SMP #MSPplus #farmsandranches

The decimation of thousands of NLR’s Burns Park trees and damage to structures by the March 31st tornado is sad for all the thousands of visitors who enjoy the park each year. The city’s leaders, Burns Park staffers, contractors, and others have done an amazing job making much of the park open to the public again. The forests were beautiful. However, as spring gets underway nature will fill many of those now open, sun-drenched fields, with native plants as “natural vegetational succession” takes over. Dense forests are important to some wildlife species, but more open, natural areas (with adequate soil, interspersed with brush and trees) should produce a greater variety of vegetation and will eventually host more wildlife species. I’m hoping a natural resources agency, a nearby college, or some other entity can use the destruction of the tornado at Burns to do some important habitat and parks management research.

May is #WildfireAwarenessMonth! In recognition of such an important topic, we have a new blog post up on The Field Journal! In 2021, some of our staff and many of our friends in Red Lodge witnessed the Robertson Draw Fire. However, with a dynamic and destructive event like wildfires also comes rebirth. In this blog post, Jason and Rick share some insight into the ecological factors of #wildfire and how we can do our part to prevent unnecessary damage. https://lnkd.in/gQXVCSzU

Sadly summer is over! Just a quick reminder that the window for Wetland Assessments is going to start closing soon. We can often get out in most of September to complete the assessments, and sometimes into October if it’s a warm fall, but as soon as the vegetation dies we can no longer do them. So let's get your wetland assessments done before window closes for the year. Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the wetland season passes you by! #wetlands #environmentalconsulting #environmentalassessments #wetlandassessments
