SUMMARY:Northern Colorado Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (NOCO TREX)
DESCRIPTION:The Ember Alliance has been working with partners to plan NOCO TREX for fall of 2025! The mission of NOCO TREX is to build collaborative prescribed fire capacity in Northern CO.   \nNOCO TREX has the following objectives:   \n\nEnsure a safe training environment for all participants during the NOCO TREX.  \nProvide training opportunities for NOCO TREX participants and IMT members.  \nSafely and effectively implement prescribed fire to achieve goals as identified in the respective burn plans.  \nFacilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among fire practitioners in Northern CO.  \nIncrease public awareness about prescribed fire and smoke in Northern CO.  \n\nNOCO TREX Timeline   \nThe IMT is looking at an implementation window of October 27 – November 21\, 2025. The Incident Management Team (IMT) is meeting weekly to assess weather and fuel conditions to be able to burn during this timeframe. The team will communicate directly with NOCO TREX participants as we narrow in on our burn day(s). This landing page will also be updated on a weekly basis so you can always check back here for information.  \nQUESTIONS?\nContact Kristin Leger: kristin@emberalliance.org  \nAbout Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges (TREX)  \nPrescribed Fire Training Exchanges (TREX) and cooperative burns provide experiential training opportunities that build local capacity for fire management and offer fire practitioners a more holistic perspective—while implementing treatments that support community and landscape objectives. TREX provides a unique cooperative burning model that services the needs of diverse entities\, including federal and state agencies\, private landowners and contractors\, tribes\, academics\, and international partners—while incorporating local values and issues to build the right kinds of capacity in the right places.  \nWatch this short Rocky Mountain PBS video about our NOCO TREX burn in the spring!  \n  \n  \nNOCO TREX Partners

SUMMARY:Fireforest Film Screening - Estes Valley
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Estes Valley Fire Protection District\, Larimar Conservation District\, and the US Forest Service\, we invite you to one of the early screenings of this incredible film.   \nIn August of 2020\, the Cameron Peak Fire was racing uncontrollably towards communities in northern Colorado. As it reached the footprint of a past U.S. Forest Service prescribed burn and the Drala Mountain Center\, a near-miracle occurred. The prescribed burn\, combined with forest restoration treatments at Drala\, gave firefighters a foothold to halt a portion of the fire and avert disaster for the communities downslope. \nThis short film by Fort Collins filmmaker Evan Barrientos tells the story of what happened there through the accounts of a U.S. Forest Service fire specialist\, the Drala land manager\, and a Larimer Conservation District forester. Together\, they urge Colorado and the West to see fire and forest management as natural and essential parts of the landscape. By shifting the way we perceive fire\, we can create hope for the future of our forests. \nTo RSVP visit: https://www.evwatershed.org/events/fireforest-film-screening \n  \nOur schedule for the evening: \n5:30 PM: Meet and Greet with Pizza (2 slices per person) \n6:20 PM: Fireforest Film Screening \n6:45 PM: Panel Q&A with Evan Barrientos \n\nLarimer Conservation District\nUS Forest Service\nEstes Valley Fire Protection District\nEstes Valley Watershed Coalition

SUMMARY:Fireforest Film Screening - Fort Collins
DESCRIPTION:Larimer Conservation District Presents the Fort Collins Screening of Fireforest\n\n\nIn August of 2020\, the Cameron Peak Fire was racing uncontrollably towards communities in northern Colorado. As it reached the footprint of a past U.S. Forest Service prescribed burn and the Drala Mountain Center (formerly Shambhala Mountain Center)\, a near-miracle occurred. The prescribed burn\, combined with forest restoration treatments at Drala\, gave firefighters a foothold to halt a portion of the fire and avert disaster for the communities downslope. \nThis 16-minute film tells the story of what happened there through the accounts of a U.S. Forest Service fire specialist\, a Larimer Conservation District forester\, and the Drala land manager. Together\, they urge us to see fire and forest management as natural and essential parts of the landscape. By shifting the way we perceive fire and actively preparing forests to receive it\, we can create hope for living with wildfires. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will begin with a short introduction by Larimer Conservation District Executive Director Gretchen Reuning and Evan Barrientos. Following the 16-minute film\, Gretchen and James White (U.S. Forest Service cooperative fire specialist) will give a Q&A session with the audience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP to the Fort Collins screening visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lcd-presents-the-fort-collins-screening-of-fireforest-tickets-965358672777?aff=oddtdtcreator  \nThis film was made possible with funding from the Mighty Arrow Family Foundation and Peaks to People Fund Water Fund; and with guidance and coordination from Larimer Conservation District\, Drala Mountain Center\, the U.S. Forest Service\, Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed\, and the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative.

SUMMARY:Beer & Beyond: Exploring Water & Fire at Berthoud Brewing Company
DESCRIPTION:Join the Big Thompson Watershed Coalition at Berthoud Brewing Company on Sunday\, August 18th\, from 4-7 PM to enjoy some local beer and learn about water conservation and wildfire mitigation! The event will feature three components: \n1. Brewery Tours: Discover the brewing process and learn about Berthoud Brewing Company’s water conservation practices. Tour 1 will be offered at 4:30pm and tour 2 will be offered at 6:15pm. \n2. Film Screening: Be among the first in Loveland to see Evan Barrientos’ Fireforest film. This short film highlights two wildfire mitigation projects and the benefits they provided during the Cameron Peak Fire. These stories showcase the importance of treating our forests through the use of thinning and prescribed fire. Through these projects we can better understand that the right kind of fire is an essential part of the solution to megafires\, that fire is a natural part of Colorado’s forests\, and that forests have a natural ability to recover from it. It also emphasizes that severe fires do threaten our forests and the time for large scale forest and watershed restoration is now. \n \n3. Panel Discussion: Following the film\, join a panel of experts to discuss the critical role of wildfire mitigation and recovery in safeguarding our limited water resources in Northern Colorado and the Big Thompson Watershed. The discussion will highlight the connectivity between upstream watershed health and downstream water resources. \nTickets are available on our Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beer-and-beyond-exploring-water-and-fire-at-berthoud-brewing-company-tickets-952906758767 \nFor $20\, enjoy one of the brewery tours and two slices of pizza from Berthoud Brewing Company. For $10\, receive two slices of pizza during the film and panel. If you’d like to attend the screening and panel only\, it’s FREE. \nAll proceeds from the event will go directly toward our work to enhance the health and vitality of the Big Thompson watershed. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn\, engage\, and support our watershed!

SUMMARY:Virtual Presentation: "Burnt: A tale of three fires"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 29\n11am-12pm\nClick here to join the Zoom meeting \nJoin us for a presentation by Jacob Saul Heydorn Gorski\, Master in Landscape Architecture\, Amsterdam Academy of Architecture\, about his project that “focuses on the mountain town of Red Feather Lakes in the American state of Colorado to question dominant narratives we have of wildfire and offer a new path forward.” \nBurnt: a tale of three fires investigates how embracing wildfire can restore resiliency and create new cultural connections between a landscape and its inhabitants. It draws from the designer’s childhood fascination of landscape and fire and takes inspiration from a Dutch attitude towards another natural threat: water. \nEcosystems like Colorado’s Front Range mountains are disturbance-driven. The Front Range is built to burn. Forests here have adapted to the kinds of fire that burn in them. Native plant and animal species developed strategies that allowed them to resist\, be resilient to\, or even depend upon fire. The lodgepole pine\, for instance\, cannot reseed without the heat of heavy fire. \nHistorically\, these fires led to a rich landscape mosaic. In the US\, however\, a century of fear- driven policy and land-use has removed fire from these forests. The resulting landscape is unhealthy\, less resilient\, and less diverse than before. When it burns\, it burns hotter\, longer\, and more frequently than it can naturally absorb. The lasting effects and damage of these fires can extend for years. \nDespite the critical role of fire in these ecosystems\, we continue to try to remove fire from the landscape. Since 2016\, Colorado alone has spent more than $2 billion fighting fires. What could it look like if we begin to let fire back into the landscape? In the Netherlands\, flooding\, long seen as a threat\, has increasingly been used as an opportunity to create new experiences and habitats. Can we do the same for fire? To explore this question\, the project focuses on the area around Red Feather Lakes\, a mountain town in the Front Range. This town is nestled on the border of different forests with different fires. Part of the forest burnt in a 2020 wildfire. The town is highly vulnerable to fire yet highly dependent on the forests for recreation and water. The different pressures of fire come together on this site. \nThe project takes inspiration from local ecology to develop three new strategies for wildfire: defensive\, resilient\, and resistant. Each strategy kickstarts a process based on community involvement and site-derived materials to let fire tell a different story about the landscape. In the first site\, fire breaks shape the way a forest burns and allow recreants to experience the ‘terrible sublime’ of the postfire landscape. In the second site\, a stream is transformed into a naturally-managed defensive buffer that mitigates the effects of post-fire flooding. In the last site\, a community comes together to restore a severely burnt forest. Together\, these three strategies not only reshape and restore the ecosystem but also use fire as a means to create new landscape experiences and community exchange. While site-specific\, the interventions here offer a model for other landscapes in the American West for a possible future with fire. \nWe have\, to quote Dante\, found ourselves “within a forest dark\, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.” This project offers a new path ahead\, one lit by the light of fire. \nJacob Saul Heydorn Gorski\n2022

SUMMARY:Pile Burning Informational Meeting - Estes Valley Area
DESCRIPTION:As the first snows of winter arrive\, foresters and fire managers are making plans for the pile burning season. Pile burning is an important tool used by public and private land managers to thin overgrown forests and reduce the potential damaging effects of unplanned fires — part of addressing Colorado’s wildfire crisis. Pile burning occurs under very specific conditions when temperatures have cooled and snow is present to help fire managers contain the burn. The Roosevelt National Forest\, Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Valley Watershed Coalition are offering the public an opportunity to learn more about the pile burning projects planned near Estes Park\, Glen Haven\, Drake and Allenspark this winter. Please join us and come with your questions! \nWhen: Nov. 13\, 2023\, 6:30-7:30 p.m. \nWhere: Estes Valley Community Center – 660 Community Dr\, Estes Park\, CO 80517

SUMMARY:PODs Revision & Expansion Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the upcoming Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest (ARP) Potential Operational Delineation\, or POD Line Revision and Expansion Workshop! This process is a collaborative effort between the ARP and the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative (NCFC) with the goals of expanding the current POD network to facilitate cross-boundary fire and fuels planning and to revise the current PODs to reflect altered fuel conditions and to capture lessons learned over the past few years of POD utilization. \nThe workshop will be led by the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute and will occur from November 6-9 starting with a kickoff Background Information Session on the 6th followed by geographically focused Mapping Sessions on the 7th\, 8th\, and 9th. The audience for these workshops is primarily agencies and organizations within the NCFC area with fire management responsibilities and knowledge of local fire behavior. \nFor the geographically focused Mapping Sessions\, we’ve sent out invites to the geographically relevant fire response organizations—those with intimate knowledge of the landscape\, roads and potential control lines\, and how fire interacts with those features. Didn’t receive an invite? All are welcome to the Background Information Session on Nov. 6 from 1-3pm! \nQuestions? Please contact Ch’aska Huayhuaca at Chaska.Huayhuaca-Frye@colostate.edu \n  \nBackground Information Session – November 6\, 1:00-3:00pm\nWhere: Virtual only\, via Teams (Join Teams Here) \nTarget Audience: Fire managers\, interagency partners\, line officers/Agency Administrators\, and any NCFC partners interested in learning more about PODs and how they are developed. \nPotential Operational Delineations\, or PODs\, are a spatial planning framework in which fire responders\, resource managers\, and other cross-jurisdictional partners bring their local knowledge to a process to identify spatial units or containers defined by potential control features\, such as roads and ridgetops. Each POD may be summarized with relevant forest conditions\, values at risk\, and fire potential and used to pre-plan for wildfire across jurisdictions and at a landscape scale using a risk management approach. PODs are a central component of the NCFC’s emerging landscape spatial strategy\, providing a basic building block of fuels treatment and vegetation management planning as we work to prepare landscapes to receive and recovery from inevitable wildfire. Partners of the NCFC have used the existing PODs network developed by the ARP to inform planning on numerous projects with multiple objectives. However\, our PODs network was developed before the 2020 wildfire season and only covers the ARP’s jurisdiction. To be truly useful for cross-boundary planning\, the network must be updated\, refined\, and extended off these federal lands. This series of workshops will allow us to collaboratively generate the spatial data we need to inform future all-lands planning before\, during\, and after wildland fire. \nThis introductory presentation will be approximately 1 ½ hours in length with Q&A to follow. The presentation will be fully remote via Teams and recorded. We look forward to your attendance and participation. \nThe links provided below are a relatively comprehensive look at the who\, what\, where and why of PODs:\n• Rocky Mountain Research Station’s PODs overview\n• The Path to Strategic Wildland Fire Management Planning

SUMMARY:From Burn to Bloom: The Art & Science of Wildfire Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Explore the environmental impact of wildfire through playful art+science activities\, community reflection\, and collective creation.\nBy Radical Open Science Syndicate + The Geospatial Centroid \nDate and time: Saturday\, August 19 · 11am – 4pm MDT \nLocation: Odell Brewing Company 800 East Lincoln Avenue Fort Collins\, CO 80524 \nAbout this event\nIn 2020\, our community experienced the largest wildfires in Colorado history. Since then\, researchers at CSU have been working hard to understand how these high-elevation fires have impacted our ecosystems. To share this research with the public\, we are inviting artists across disciplines to co-create hands-on stations for learning and making. \nWhile wildfire is inherently destructive\, post-fire ecology holds valuable lessons about hope\, resilience\, and recovery. From Burn to Bloom will combine the emotional power of art and artmaking with the educational power of scientific research to explore these themes. \nFrom Burn to Bloom will be a fun and interactive community event with playful art and science activities\, hopeful community reflection\, and all-ages education. Get inspired by the ways nature repairs after fire and reflect on building more resilient landscapes–and mindsets–in the face of an ever-changing climate. \n\nPaint algae bloom watercolors + learn how fire affects our water quality!\nMake Aspen block prints + learn how they protect the forest from fire!\nPlay in a (simulated) beaver pond + learn how beavers strengthen post-fire landscape!\nWrite a love letter to the forest on seed paper + learn what plants grow after fire!\nTake a selfie with Smokey Bear + learn about how you can mitigate wildfire!

SUMMARY:Webinar: NoCo Fireshed Risk Assessment for Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:On Feb 8\, 9-11am\, the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) will hold a webinar on the recently completed Northern Colorado Fireshed Wildfire Risk Assessment in coordination with the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed and the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative. This risk assessment was developed by CFRI in collaboration with dozens of stakeholder groups spanning the Northern Front Range. The primary objectives of the risk assessment were to support cross-boundary wildfire risk management planning\, focus area identification\, grant development\, and treatment outcomes monitoring. In this webinar\, we hope to aid potential user groups in applying the risk assessment to their own program of work and to spur enhanced cross-boundary collaboration. \nSpecifically\, this webinar aims to: 1) Provide a brief overview of the risk assessment model and the collaborative process used to identify values and resources at risk\, rank landscape priorities\, and estimate resource responses to wildfire; 2) Review the numerous data outputs of the wildfire risk model so that stakeholders are comfortable working with the products in their own quantitative analyses; 3) Present case studies and specific suggestions for data uses; 4) Initiate a collaborative discussion to foster coordinated planning\, data sharing\, and lessons learned \nREGISTER HERE >>\nThe technical report is available on the CFRI website publications tab or through this direct link: \nhttps://cfri.colostate.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2022/10/Rhea_et_al_2022_NorthernColoradoFireshedWildfireRiskAssessment_CFRI_2221.pdf \nThe data can be downloaded here: \nhttps://cfri.box.com/s/5obu0g5d6bdhgyucbbuby4ob74jp8hdx \nResults can be viewed in AGOL here: \nhttps://csurams.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=bbf2d1c2be0546d5922dfa0cbe97c9b3

SUMMARY:Webinar: Forest Ecology\, Collaborative Forest Management\, Defensible Space
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\nBoulder County Nature Association and Left Hand Watershed Center have joined forces to bring you classes on forest ecology and fire mitigation. Each class will focus on a different topic\, so participants can attend one or both. In this evening talk on Zoom\, we will provide an overview of some general forest ecology principles\, the legacy of fire suppression and changes in the forest that have occurred\, and the desired future conditions ecologists see for our forests. We will also discuss the current work that is occurring in the St. Vrain Watershed across many partners and communities to respond to forest management needs across boundaries. Lastly\, Wildfire Partners\, a resource for homeowners in Boulder County\, will provide an overview of defensible space principles\, and resources available to home/landowners. \nWildfire Partners is a wildfire mitigation program to help mountain and foothills homeowners in Boulder County\, Colorado prepare for wildfire. Wildfire Partners\, part of Boulder County’s Community Planning & Permit Department\, is a nationally recognized model for wildfire mitigation that is incorporated into Boulder County’s building code. \nChiara Forrester is the Forest Program Manager for the Left Hand Watershed Center\, a non-profit based in Boulder County that works to protect and restore watersheds using a collaborative and science-based approach. The Watershed Center is the coordinating entity of the St. Vrain Forest Health Partnership\, a collaborative of 100+ agencies\, organizations\, stakeholders\, and communities whose vision is to restore the resiliency of forests and communities in the St. Vrain Watershed. Chiara is an ecologist\, and her PhD at CU-Boulder focused on the impacts of climate change on alpine plants and the use of science in land-management decisions. \nScott Heffernan is an Associate Conservation Forester with the Boulder Valley and Longmont Conservation Districts. He is an ecologist and geographic scientist who helps increase the resilience of our forests across both public and private lands through developing forest management plans. He has a Master’s degree in forest remote sensing and geographic science\, and has years of experience working across diverse ecosystems\, from stingray population genetics and Northern Spotted Owl surveying to invasive plant management. \nTo register visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/forest-ecology-collaborative-forest-management-defensible-space-webinar-tickets-324948649157
