The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine invites you to an 
upcoming workshop: A Century of Wildland Fire Research: Contributions to 
Long-term Approaches for Wildland Fire Management.

Monday, March 27, 2017
National Academy of Sciences Building
________________________________

Wildland fires in the United States have burned a larger number of acres 
annually over the past 20 years than at any time during the past century-at an 
enormous cost. Developing long-term wildland fire management approaches is more 
important than ever but also more difficult because of increasingly dry 
conditions in some areas of the country, the expansion of the urban-wildland 
interface, and other factors. Join this workshop to discuss what has been 
learned from the wildland fire research that the U.S. Forest Service, other 
federal agencies, and research organizations have conducted and supported over 
the past century and how it might be applied toward more effective planning and 
management. The event will be held from 7:45 to 12:30 EDT on March 27, 2017 in 
the NAS Auditorium at 2101 Constitution Ave, Washington DC and will be 
simultaneously webcast for remote viewing and attendance.
