The UC ANR Fire Network is hosting two upcoming webinar series that may be of interest to you. One is focused on wildfire preparedness for farmers and ranchers, and the other will highlight hot topics in fire science (inspired by great sessions our team saw at the Association for Fire Ecology conference in Monterey in December). See attached for more details and registration links, and please share with your networks! These are open to everyone.
