In this webinar, we will discuss how these surviving fire regimes and the people who live among them can help inform current and future forest management and restoration objectives. Our discussion will focus generally on the Central Hardwood Forest Region and, specifically, the Pennsylvania Anthracite Region where fire activity has continued uninterrupted into the 21st century. This region provides us an opportunity to discuss how multiple sources of information, including fire-scarred trees, observational fire records, socioeconomic data, and a “fire knowledge” survey can be used to guide management decisions and ensure resilient forest landscapes.</p></div><div dir="ltr">To register for this webinar and to see archives of past seminars, see: <br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://naturalareas.org/webinars/">https://naturalareas.org/webinars/</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
