In the eastern United States, oaks are abundant and provide significant economic and ecological benefits. However, oak ecosystems have experienced significant changes over the past century due to fire exclusion by suppression, land-use changes, pests, and pathogens. These pressures threaten the long-term sustainability of oak-dominated systems. Research-informed management efforts are critical now, more than ever.
The U S Forest Service’s Northern & Southern Research stations will hold a Fire Management and Silviculture in Oak Ecosystems webinar on Tuesday, January 20th from 10 to 11 am ET.
Prescribed fire is a crucially important management tool for oaks. Presenters will discuss prescribed fire as well as the importance of mechanical treatments. This webinar will feature land managers and researchers.
