COLORADO—Join us Dec. 7 and 8 to hear experts discuss the operations, technology and ecology behind post-fire salvage science.

The Salvage Science Summit Series is a collaborative production between Rocky Mountain Research Station, Southern Rockies Fire Science Network, Northern Rockies Fire Science Network and the Northwest Fire Science Consortium. The summit brings together scientists and land management experts from across the country to provide guidance in post-fire salvage operations. This webinar is open to all audiences.

This is a discussion-based event. All presentations have been previously recorded and are available for participants to view ahead of time to prepare questions for discussion. Each day, presenters will share an overview of their recorded presentation followed by discussion and Q&A session.
