Pre-Conference Workshops

Two pre-conference workshops were offered in 2006 -- Assessing Wildfire Hazards in the Home Ignition Zone, presented by Jack Cohen, Research Scientist, USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Laboratory; and a Firewise Communities Planning Workshop, featuring Jim Smalley of the Firewise program and staff of Interactive Training Media, Inc.

"Assessing Wildfire Hazards in the Home Ignition Zone" will soon be available as an instructor-led course and an online course with a community focus. Check here for links to these upcoming programs.

The Firewise Communities Planning Workshop presentation is based on the successful Firewise Communities workshop series. Click here for more information on how to deliver workshops in your area.
