Our Arizona Science Team at TNC's Hart Prairie Preserve, so energizing to connect with colleagues in nature, here we are checking out snow monitoring stakes to better understand the ecology of Bebb's Willows which are common in Canada but reach their southern extent in Arizona.

Enjoyed a beautiful visit to Flagstaff this week to share sunshine and beers with TNC Arizona's Forest Program. The are doing incredible work with stakeholders across Northern Arizona to increase pace and scale of restoration and reduce wildfire risks, learn more here: www.nature.org/en-us/about-...

Proud to have participated in a workshop with brilliant peers in The Nature Conservancy's Western Dry Forest & Fire Program. We developed first-of-kind web maps that show progress we have made with partners to restore forests across the west and a tool to identify future landscapes to invest in.

I am pleased to share the most significant study that I have so far contributed to. We find overwhelming evidence that mechanical thinning and prescribed fire reduce subsequent wildfire severity across seasonally dry forests in the western USA. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
