1. Increasing awareness of the application of adaptive management (am) and demonstrating the value of monitoring. 2. Support adaptation to climate change through fire management. 3. Develop the fire science and adaptive management workforce through intensive workshop. 4. Connecting researchers and managers through in-person fire science field days. 5. Sponsoring prescribed fire training to increase prescribed fire capacity: outcomes will include increasing the prescribed fire workforce for the region. 6. Lead a regional conference focused on end-user priorities. 7. Increasing communications. Public benefits: the fire science exchanges, are one element of government response. They have the important role of facilitating communication across the spectrum of individuals and organizations involved in delivering fire related practices that will determine the landscapes of the future. They assist efforts to coordinate activities and support the dissemination of the scientifically sound knowledge base that guides actions. In this way, our project will act in support of government programs, such as the cohesive strategy and the 30-by-30 policy. All our activities involve some aspect of communication. Our website seeks to support a community that we know from our polling and personal interactions seeks to improve their expert knowledge. IT connects individuals and organization in support of the larger landscape project. Our in-person events like field days provide occasions for interactive learning that connects participants and introduces them to knowledgeable experts. Our proposed conference will provide opportunities for all stakeholders to share knowledge and promote their projects. Virtual webinars, done well, communicate established knowledge and new ideas about policy, technology, and means of assessment.
