Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals

An Integrated Approach to Recreation and Fire Resiliency and Recovery

Recorded Training

Webinar Program Administration

From warmer and wetter winters in the South and Midwest to more intense droughts in the Southwest, the effects of climate change are a daily reality for outdoor recreation managers. This 4-part series explores how land managers, communities, nonprofits, and policy makers are proactively designing and communicating in anticipation of more severe weather and responding to events such as wildfires and floods in a collaborative way.

Northern California’s Mendocino National Forest includes thousands of acres of mixed conifer forests, oak woodlands, and chaparral and has recently experienced unusually severe and devastating fire seasons. It is also home to outstanding recreation opportunities. This session will explore how the USFS is working with partners to use recreation infrastructure such as trails to manage wildfires and rehabilitate recreation areas impacted by wildfire to improve access and resilience.

Presenters:
Frank Aebly, District Ranger, Upper Lake and Covelo Ranger Districts and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument
