Big thanks to @chrisadlam.bsky.social OSU Extension, Rogue Valley Prescribe Burn Association, and Takelma leaders for the amazing IGNITE workshop this weekend! 🌲🔥 🌱Learned so much from participants and instructors, and even the kiddos were included 💚Building our relationship with fire and community
Thanks for teaching participants about fire ecology! And for bringing your family along! 💚
The committee on Science, Space, and Technology are collecting testimony of Federal employees fired in the past days. Please share with your colleagues and friends. The more testimony, the better we can argue against this injustice.
“Restoring fire to the landscape is a long game. Any acre burned alongside other people, learning to accept fire along the way, is progress.”
We (= Dept. of Forest Ecosystems and Society, College of Forestry, Oregon State) are hiring a TT faculty member specializing in Indigenous Knowledge in forest, ecosystem, and cultural stewardship.

Prescribed burning is done for many reasons and by many kinds of people. Here a landowner needed help burning a wetland for ecological purposes; he got help from neighbors incl. ranchers, youth groups, and local firefighters. Lots of fun + a good learning experience for many!

It’s been a long road, but we published the report! It’s been an honor to serve on this commission and I look forward to working with many of you on pushing the recommendations across the finish line! www.usda.gov/sites/defaul...
The difference a fire makes. The first is a two year old prescribed burn up in French Meadows. The second is looking the opposite direction across the control line 10ft away. Not only is it beautiful, but is amazing insect and deer habitat.
