Speaker(s): Dana Walsh, USDA Forest Service State and Private Forestry
Description: Partnerships to promote recovery in support of action 1.14 in the California Wildfire and Forest Resilience Strategy to assist recovery of non-industrial private forest lands and leverage recovery efforts across ownerships. Ongoing pilot projects have delivered substantial restoration actions and provided significant information and lessons learned.

Advancing Postfire Restoration Frameworks and Tribal Engagement for California National Forests
Speaker(s): Jonathan Long, USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station
Description: The presentation will highlight findings from a new report to inform postfire interventions across large landscapes to promote resilience in the face of a rapidly changing climate and increasing wildfire activity.

Collaborative Capacity to Reforest California
Speaker(s): Jimi Scheid, California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection
Description: In the wake of catastrophic wildfire, years of drought and related forest impacts, the need for reforestation services and multi-faceted solutions has never been more in demand in California. Through financial, technical and physical means, CAL FIRE is diversifying its approach to improve the resiliency of the state's forestlands.

How Do We Promote Resilience of Planted Forests?
Speaker(s): Ryan Tompkins, University of California, Agriculture & Natural Resources
Description: Disturbances like extended drought-driven tree mortality and increasing scale of high severity wildfires are cumulatively impacting the dry mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada. In this twenty-first century of climate change, how do we incorporate ecological concepts of resistance and resilience into post fire restoration and reforestation?

Collective Recovery; Building Social and Ecological Resiliency Through Reforestation
Speaker(s): Britta Dyer, American Forests
Description: Amidst the high-severity fire that we've seen across the country, we are all working towards Collective Recovery for Resiliency - and reforestation is a key component of that. What recovery looks like differs from each physical landscape, but the solutions we seek will require unpacking ecological, social and political considerations.

Working with Small Non-industrial Private Forest Landowners to Restore Forests after Wildfire in California
Speaker(s): Susie Kocher, University of California Cooperative Extension
