Susan Charnely (US Forest Service), <i>Collective Action to Reduce Wildfire Risk Across Land Ownerships in the Pacific Northwest.<br>
</i><br>
The past two decades have made it clear that there is a need to increase the resilience of fire-adapted forest landscapes to wildfire. One part of the equation is to improve community preparedness; the other part is to restore forests by removing flammable
vegetation in order to decrease the severity of wildfires when they occur. One of the best ways to do this is to conduct landscape-level hazardous fuels reduction treatments that are strategically located in places where they can be most effective. Often this
calls for neighboring landowners to work together to achieve desired outcomes, which is easier said than done. This talk examines the question: How can we promote wildfire risk reduction through collective action to increase the resilience of fire-prone forest
landscapes across property boundaries? <o:p></o:p></p>
