Humans are a part of forest and grassland ecosystems where we live, recreate, work, obtain timber products, and seek spiritual solace, among many other uses. Therefore, it's important to consider the human aspects of sustainable management of these ecosystems. BEMRP social scientists are working to understand meanings people assign to the Bitterroot National Forest and how these meanings interact with public attitudes toward fire and fuels management. These scientists have also been studying how, on the Lewis and Clark National Forest, the Forest Service has engaged the public in fire and fuels management efforts.
