Highlights of our #wildfire in #community forests report detailing solutions, challenges, and vision for wildfire management in #BritishColumbia in multi-value landscapes - with @sdicksonhoyle @SES_UBC @LoriDanielsUBC (1/5) https://issuu.com/ubcforestry/docs/bl-31.3/20

Diverse #wildfire #management solutions include planning, removing hazardous fuels, building capacity for wildfire response, and community outreach - all enabled by strong relationships and trust and flexible funding streams (2/5)

Despite innovative solutions, challenges remain - especially related to limited financial capacity, a lack of operational and scientific expertise, community expectations, limitations of existing policy landscape, and prioritizing recovery over proactive approaches (3/5)

Community Forest managers envision a future where #forestmanagement is done through a 'fire lens' with landscape resilience in mind (incl. restoring fire as ecological + cultural practice) and by scaling-up to landscape-scales through collaboration (4/5)

Thanks to 26 managers, @BC_CFA, @ubcforestry, @WallInstitute for time and support. Full report here! https://treering.forestry.ubc.ca/wildfires-in-bc/wildfire-community-forests-2020/ (5/5)
