Forestry Sciences Lab Kalispell, MT Missoula, MT WELCOME FROM AFE PRESIDENT

I am incredibly excited to welcome you to Missoula for the 2018 Fire Continuum Conference! This event, co-sponsored by the world’s two leading professional societies dedicated to wildland fire, is sure to challenge you intellectually and inspire you to making a personal difference in whatever role you play in wherever you call home.

No matter if your “day job” is that of a firefighter, a land manager, a scientist, an ecologist, a student, or just an overall fire enthusiast, we all are directly or indirectly involved in a fire continuum of one sort or another. Thus, we all have a role in “Promoting fire ecology research, education, and management,” which is the long-standing mission of Association for Fire Ecology (AFE).

To that end, know that AFE is not only for our members, but perhaps more importantly, it is BY our members. You have a role to play and we want to empower you to go forth and do great things! To that end, please visit the AFE Exhibit Booth where (besides purchasing some killer swag that will wow your family and friends) you can learn more about the myriad of benefits that our members enjoy, and perhaps more importantly, discover how YOU can become more engaged in the organization.

So get ready, this week is shaping up to be one that will stimulate you intellectually, challenge you professionally, and deepen relationships with old (and hopefully new!) colleagues and friends.

Finally, in our effort to continuously improve what we do, please, please, please provide any suggestions for future efforts that will improve this organization, which we all love.

With deep respect,

Christopher A. Dicus, PhD President, Association for Fire Ecology

PS. I have been regularly floored by the countless hours spent by a small army of dedicated AFE and IAWF staff and volunteers in making this event one that will useful and memorable (in a good way!) for you. Thus, if you note one of the conference volunteers, be sure to say thanks for their hard work, which has been done almost entirely behind the scenes.

ES A N D F I R O F W I L DL An Art Exhibit and Competition concurrent with the The Fire Continuum Conference: Preparing for the Future of Wildland Fire UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA MAY 21-24, 2018

Join us by sharing your expression in our Wildland Fire themed Art Exhibition. All art media is welcome and encouraged including textile, painting, wearable, photography, ceramics, collage, poetry, sculpture, carving etc. Entries will be displayed in the Exhibit Hall throughout the conference. Art will be professionally judged in many categories such as: best in show, photography, oil, water color, acrylic, textile, ceramic, written, and people’s choice. Judging will be followed by a presentation of ribbons. Participants are invited to donate their work to a silent auction fundraiser supporting the “Mike DaLuz Memorial Student Travel Scholarship Fund” and the “IAWF Student Scholarship Fund”.

Mike da Luz Memorial IAWF Student Scholarship Fund Student Scholarship Fund Each year, the International AFE lost one of their board members Mike da Luz Association of Wildland Fire awards in, 2013. Mike’s family is working with AFE to create two graduate-level scholarships “The Mike da Luz Memorial Student Scholarship” to typically valued at $3,000 USD to help fund students travel to attend conferences and Master of Science (M.Sc.) or Ph.D. other educational events. Donations will be used students studying wildland fire or exclusively to support students in attending events. wildland fire-related topics.

Art that is donated to the Silent Auction will be displayed and auctioned at The Fire Continuum Conference Evening Event on Wednesday, May 23, 2018. To reserve your space for display or more details please contact: Kim Skufca, 406-207-6574 or [email protected].

Molina, Jane Park, Joel Carlson, Joseph O’Brien, Murray Carter, MONDAY, MAY 21, 2018 – 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM Robert Wilken, Ethan Robers, Kelley Harkins, and Zachary Prusak. Workshop 1: Learning the Photoload Sampling Technique: Visually estimating surface fuel Wildland fire policy and management are mired in an increasingly complex wild, rural and loadings from photographs for research and management applications urban landscape. Fires are getting larger; suppression costs are increasing; and harm to Workshop Leader: Bob Keane the public, to firefighters, and to property and natural resources is monumental. Wildfire prevention and suppression will always be vital tools, but we face a critical need to get more of Wildland fire researchers and fire managers need better estimates of surface fuel loadings so they can the right kind of fire on the landscape. While the use of prescription fire has increased across more accurately predict fire behavior and effects to design more effective fuel and ecosystem restoration North America, especially in the Southeast, we are falling far short of our goals. Our workshop treatments. A new fuel sampling system, called the photoload sampling technique, has been developed will highlight successful on-the-ground approaches in the arena of “conventional” prescribed to quickly and accurately estimate loadings for six surface fuel components using downward-looking fire, as well as prescribed “natural” fire (managed wildfires). What works in one place can photographs that depict graduated fuel loadings. The user simply matches the fuel loading conditions often -- with modification -- work in other areas, and moreover, exchanging accounts of observed on the ground with conditions portrayed in a set of graduated photographs. The original successes and failures can lead to new ideas and approaches. photoload materials were built to estimate fuel loadings for forests in the northern Rocky Mountains of We will invite people from across North America to share their approaches to restoring Montana, USA. But, there are now methods to expand the photoload technique to other ecosystems prescribed fire. Some of these prescribed fire practitioners will be from areas where the entire of the world. In this workshop you will learn how to use the photoload technique in the field with great region general supports prescribed fire, while others will be from places where support for accuracy. Then you will be given all the materials to teach photoload to others and to calibrate photoload prescribed fire is localized, yet growing. visual estimates to improve accuracy. Last, you will be shown how to make your own photoload pictures to estimate loadings of shrub and herb species in your area. An evaluation of the photoload MONDAY, MAY 21, 2018 – 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM technique is also presented along with a CD of all photoload photographs.

Workshop 5: Linking wildfire burn mosaic and lynx habitat modeling As long as we live in a carbon-based world, we will live with fire. Fire science is complex and can take Workshop Leaders: Paul Hessburg, Bill Gaines and Susan Prichard years of study to fully understand. Professional firefighters and fire scientists learn everything from fire theory, knot tying, and ladder and hose deployment to fluid dynamics and physics. They do this for The incidence of large and severe fire events is increasing in the western United States with national, state, and local certifications. This curriculum is not designed to train professional firefighters, long-term implications for future wildfires, landscape successional mosaics, and wildlife habitat although some learners just starting on that path will find it useful. The basic intent of this curriculum abundance and connectivity. Given that wildfire seasons are increasing in length and severity, is to teach the basics of fire to non-fire-professional community members, including instructors, and managing for existing and future wildlife habitat needs to be closely integrated with wildland fire landowners, such as ranchers and farmers. The goal is to replace fear and misunderstanding with management and climate change adaptation. In many western landscapes, wildfires are leaving knowledgeable respect. We want to reduce risk and fire hazard through education and understanding. large, high-severity burn patches behind, that can predispose large areas to future large, fire Each of these five modules — What is Fire?, Fire Ecology, Fire Behavior, Fire Management, and Fire events and continuous shrub field rather than forest conditions.

Scott hourly weather streams. We will use a case study from north-central Washington to explore For over ten years, a quantitative wildfire risk assessment framework has been used to address the consequences of different wildland fire management strategies (no suppression, managed wildfire management problems at scales ranging from a wildfire incident to agency-wide budget wildfires, and modern fire suppression) on habitat abundance and connectivity for the Canada allocation. Wildfire risk assessments are often initiated or carried out by fire management or fuel Lynx. A current Lynx habitat resource selection function will be used to translate dead wood and specialists, but the assessments have even greater application for natural resource managers from forest successional conditions into Lynx habitat conditions. Recent large fires in north-central other disciplines, like wildlife or watershed management, especially for land and natural resource Washington State have severely impacted some of the best remaining habitat for Canada Lynx. management planning and implementation.

Author H.P. Lovecraft once said, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” We tend to fear what we do not understand. Not everyone is afflicted with pyrophobia (an irrational fear of fire), but many fear fire from personal experience or mainly through a lack of understanding Fire is a chemical reaction that has been on the planet as long as there have been plants and carbon-based lifeforms on the ground and lightning in the sky. Fire is a force of nature we can control under certain conditions but can’t control under other conditions. Fire can take life and save life.

Ambrosia and Amber Soja vulnerability, exposure, and risk. We draw on an array of experiences managing and modeling wildfires and fuels treatments, including prescribed burning, across Europe, South America, and North America In 2011, NASA solicited applications and applied research proposals to use Earth observation to propose that by thinking outside of the box, land and fire managers might apply creative ideas into data to improve decision-making activities and actions on topics related to wildland fires. Nine active fire management strategies, giving priority to decisions that will improve future ecosystem and project teams, partnering with wildfire organizations (USFS, BLM, USGS, etc.) were selected social resilience and help create less vulnerable landscapes. to developed tools, web services, data access, and models to improve wildfire analysis and assessments, management strategies and actions, business practices, and policy analysis This workshop aims to discuss the decision-making process using scenarios from recent large fire and decisions associated with wildland fires. Those nine projects separately focus on all events around the globe, such as the Thomas Fire of 2017 in California, USA; the Fort McMurray aspects of the fire cycle: from predictive fire behavior, through active fire monitoring to post-fire Fire of 2016 in Canada; the Las Maquinas Fire of 2017 in Chile; the Pedrao Grande Fire of 2017 assessment and rehabilitation. The projects employ a range of operational Earth Observation in Portugal; and the Lolo Peak Fire of 2017 in Montana, USA.

The goal of the workshop is to have a wildfire all values-at-risk, and firefighting capacity. In Marc Castellnou’s experience, “We empower firefighters management and science community that is more knowledgeable about Earth Observation to be creative in defining the future, avoiding the defense at all costs of a vulnerable situation. If that data, where to access it, and how to utilize such in supporting their decision processes, is done, we provide a bridge of understanding with society for working together on a common goal.” whether it be fire predictive behavior modeling, active fire monitoring, or post-fire analysis and Wildfire scenarios will be presented by key speakers, who will then moderate discussions on how rehabilitation activities. creative decision making could be implemented in these real-world scenarios.

MONDAY, MAY 21, 2018 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Workshop 16: Empowering Strategic Decision Making for Wildfire Management: Avoiding the Fear Trap and Creating a Resilient Landscape Workshop Leaders: Marc Castellnou, Nuria Prat, Marta Miralles, Dave Calkin, Kit O’Connor and Karin Riley Wildfires are overwhelming firefighting organizations worldwide, and as a consequence, fire managers often move into a defensive strategy rather than managing for fire effects on ecosystems. With pressure on firefighting agencies to act as responding emergency organizations, transparency in decisions can degrade, threatening trust and confidence between citizens and firefighting agencies. Technological tools, including a suite of wildfire and smoke dispersion models, help to predict fire behavior and spread during active incidents. Outputs from these models are one input used to decide strategy when fighting or managing a fire. They are often employed in deciding how to minimize the pressure of losing property and lives and to minimize impacts from smoke. We see potential to leverage them in managing risk on future landscapes. However, the decision space during wildfires is often restricted by lack of time, social pressure, and the overwhelming influence of risk aversion (“the fear trap”). By including ecosystem values and fire behavior effects in the decision-making process, we can enhance decisions made on the fireline. Including this information can empower firefighters, managers, and landowners to be creative in identifying desired impacts of these decisions on future resilience, vulnerability, exposure and risk of a certain ecosystem, landscape, society, and firefighting community. Confidence can build across stakeholder groups THE FIRE CONTINUUM CONFERENCE 44. if they understand that decision making during wildfires is not only about defense, but can FIELD TRIP 2: Marshall Woods Fuel Treatment Project: Challenges to Building Consensus and Conveying Fire Hazard Mitigation and WEDNESDAY,Field MAY 23,Trips 1-5 PM Ecological Restoration Needs to the Public The buses for the field trips will pick up in parking lot W, north of the University Center and south of the stadium.
