Community Wildfire Risk Mitigation Assessment
Forests in California are increasingly vulnerable to wildfires. Not only have climate change and past forest management practices created very favorable conditions for fires, but increasing human settlement of the wildland-urban interface and intermix (WUI) has dramatically increased the stakes.
Modeling Fire Resiliency from Landscape-scale Fuel Treatments
Wood pellets have been hailed as a carbon neutral form of energy, especially in Europe, where pellets are being used to satisfy Paris Agreement requirements to reduce carbon emissions. However, pellet production can result in additional biomass harvests that reduce the amount of carbon stored in forests.
What Communities Can Do To Improve Their Wildfire Resilience
After visiting conferences throughout the last year, SIG-NAL’s Executive Director, Graham Wesolowski details his experiences initiating a Regional Wildfire Mitigation program:
Land Trusts In Northeastern U.S. Can Enroll In The Carbon Market And Become Future Ancient Forests
Northeast Wilderness Trust (NEWT), SIG Carbon, and the Inlandsis Fund have teamed up to create an exciting new forest carbon aggregation initiative called Wildlands Carbon. Land trusts across the Northeastern United States
