An Evaluation of the Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Steelman’s integrated framework for evaluating innovation is used to analyze the Joint Chiefs’ projects and understand both successes and ongoing institutional barriers of the program. This research will be used to predict or explain a policy innovation’s probability of institutionalization and inform the next generation of collaborative forest restoration efforts. Presented by Laren Cyphers, Colorado State University.

Assessing the First Generation of Forest Service Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments
Open to view video.

State Funding for Wildfire Suppression in the Western United States
Open to view video.

The purpose was to improve management of state fiscal resources and to identify appropriate funding mechanisms in the context of variable costs and questions about who bears those costs. Presented by Dennis Becker, University of Idaho.

Utah's Wildland Fire Policy - A Comprehensive, Statewide Approach to Wildfire Risk Reduction
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Over the past four years, Utah's Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands has transformed its wildland fire program into what has been recently referred to by author Dr. Stephen Pyne as "one of the most progressive state programs for coping with...fire." Come hear our story of organizational change and fire management. Presented by Brian Cottam, Utah Division of Forestry.

Water Source Protection in Rio Grande Headwaters
Open to view video.
Open to view video. The health and resiliency of the forests and landscapes of the Rio Chama and Rio Grande watersheds directly benefit both Santa Fe County & the City of Santa Fe’s water supplies. The City of Santa Fe has committed $5 million over 20 years by passing along costs to the beneficiaries of a healthy watershed, Santa Fe’s water customers, and to supporting the Rio Grande Water Fund as an Executive Committee member. Presented by Alan G. Hook, City of Santa Fe Water Division.

A Preliminary Analysis of Laws and Policies Governing Prescribed Fire
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Prescribed fire is an essential management tool in forested ecosystems, but managers are unable to apply it at desired levels. We provide an overview of our preliminary legal analysis comparing laws and policies, particularly for air quality regulation, that affect the application of prescribed fire, with comparisons across Western states. Presented by Courtney Schultz, Colorado State University.
