Read our August Newsletter for a reminder about JFSP Notice of Funding Opportunities, introduction to the CFLRP Dashboard, and more. 

The latest edition of the Traditional Knowledge and Fire newsletter (July 2025) highlights beautiful written word storytelling and artwork from an Indigenous student and also features a great round-up of new publications, upcoming events, funding opportunities, and more.

Developed in collaboration with the USFS RMRS, our Risk Informed Wildfire Management page contains resources looking at how managers can approach the delicate balance between wildfire as a natural process, risk to property and values on the landscape, and risk to firefighters and resources.

Read our latest research brief, produced with the Rocky Mountain Research Station: "Connected Science - How Effective Are Landscape Scale Fuel Treatments?"

Check out the resources on our Wildland Firefighter Health Hot Topic page.
