The Southern Pine Beetle Working Group of the North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange is having an online information meeting June 16, 2026 about outbreaks of Southern Pine Beetle in Massachusetts - firesciencenorthatlantic.org/southern-pine-…

In April, @prairiefiresci held their annual Hands-On Fire Science Methods Workshop with @nature_mo in the Grand River Grasslands of northwest Missouri. Although weather prevented the planned burn, students were still able to gain some valuable skills in data collection methods.

Register today for the Northeast-Midwest Regional Prescribed Fire Workshop, July 21-23, 2026! The workshop offers a "Blended Learning Excursion." This three‑day experience combines virtual learning with in‑person field opportunities across the NE and MW. ow.ly/8yGz50YUw0y

It's National Wildflower Week! What's your favorite prairie or other natural area to go see native wildflowers?

The North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange's (NAFSE) Southern Pine Beetle Working Group is hosting an online informational meeting in response to outbreaks of southern pine beetle occurring in Massachusetts. Details are coming very soon so be sure to get this on your calendar now.

JFSP staff + Great Basin & Northern Rockies Fire Science Exchanges joined Collaboration Summit 2026: Fire Knows No Boundaries 🔥 Hosted by University of Idaho McClure Center, Rangeland Center, and Boise State Andrus Center. Great discussions on partnerships and fire science.

The North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange (NAFSE) Spring 2026 Student Webinar Series wraps up this Thursday (April 23). Aaron Arneke will share about wildland firefighting in Germany & Europe, the Waldbrandteam, and the IAWF Mentoring Program. #Wildfire firesciencenorthatlantic.org/student-webina…

The North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange (NAFSE) collaborated with fire weather subject matter experts to produce Thunderstorms and Wildland Fire Decision Making, the latest educational video from the World of Wildland Fire group. #FireWeather #Wildfire youtube.com/watch?v=-Z74On…

Drought conditions currently cover 61% of the lower 48 states. Check out this short video to learn about expected drought conditions through the end of July. #Drought #Outlook #FireWeather

#StateAndTransitionModels (STMs), frameworks that help explain complex ecological dynamics caused by #drought or #invasive species and inform decisions about #restoration or other potential treatments, are completed for the Great Basin! Check them out at: ow.ly/zjWx50YKuBf

ICYMI our Fire Science Exchanges highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary long-term research projects like #SageSTEP and other Fire and Fire Surrogate Studies, which manipulated #Fuels mechanically and with #RxFire. Watch and learn more ow.ly/vWqj50YIrov

This week we highlight the #GreatBasin where control of nonnative invasive grasses is often necessary for #restoration. Learn more about some recent herbicide and post-fire seeding research from @USGS and @USDA_ARS. ow.ly/6rqx50YIoRz

@nrfirescience & 5 other members of the JFSP FSEN hosted a virtual panel, taking a look at two of the most influential long-term fire research efforts supported by JFSP: the Fire and Fire Surrogate Study & the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project. firesciencenorthatlantic.org/fire-and-fire-…

Explore new research briefs from @nrfirescience. One is on the redesign of federal prescribed fire training. Another looks at wildland fire smoke as a vector for airborne microbes, including concentrations, transport & health implications. Read the briefs nrfirescience.org/science-review…

Will you be in Missoula for the 2026 North American Forest Ecology Workshop? @nrfirescience is co-hosting a field trip to one of the National Fire-Fire Surrogate Study Sites to explore 25+ years of fuel treatments at the Lubrecht Experimental Forest. nafew2026.org

🔥 Research supported by the Joint Fire Science Program is helping improve the Interagency Fuel Treatment Decision Support System (IFTDSS) used by fire managers to plan fuel treatments and assess wildfire risk. Learn more via Wildfire Today: wildfiretoday.com/user-feedback-…

Did you know the Fire Effects Information System just got a makeover? Led by @nrfirescience co-investigator, Ilana Abrahamson, the new website makes accessing fire resources easier than ever. Explore over 1,400 literature syntheses on fire-related topics: research.fs.usda.gov/feis
