Promoting Knowledge Partnerships

CFRI_study

CFRI helps catalyze and actively participates in opportunities where a broad range of interests and organizations interact, share information, and collectively learn about the ecological, economic, and social facets of restoration and/or forest wildfire hazard reduction for particular landscapes. In doing so, managers, stakeholders, and communities can design, apply, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments to the local context, rather than apply broad-brush prescriptions across the landscape.
