Maybe your question didn't come up in the Q&A, maybe we ran out of time, or maybe you didn't think about it until after some reflection. Post it here and we will followup for you.

What did the presentation make you feel initially and then upon firther reflection?

Were you surprised? Did you learn anything new? How might you apply what you heard to your own climate change interpretation?

What were you hoping to hear from the presentation but didn't?

If you were hoping for something specific, do you think you could find that with a followup for the speaker or ETS staff? Perhaps a member of the cohort did hear what you might have missed - it doesn't hurt to ask!

Fire Interpretation more specifically

more pragmatic specific communication strategies... specific framing language... and less fire hype

Tribal and Indigenous Fire Traditions

Presenter mentioned wildlife practices from the 70s, but it's not a recent practice. Would've been great to have representation from Indigenous peoples that have used fire traditions for many millennia.

Increase in Wildland-Urban Interface

A StoryMap from USFS! And it even includes a case study of a county in the Adirondacks. Yesiree, spot on.

"Three decades of data reveal that the WUI area and number of houses in the WUI have grown rapidly across the United States (Fig. 4). In fire prone areas, growth in acreage and the number of homes in WUI makes wildfire management more complex, challenging, and costly. Between 1990 and 2020, the United States added 179,000 square kilometers of WUI (an area equivalent to the state of Washington)—an increase of 31 percent. During the same period, the number of homes in the WUI increased by 47 percent."

Elemental: Reimagine Wildfire

This film was released two years ago and has an incredible amount of information that cross-cuts topics in the discussion - WUI, prescribed fire, traditional ecological knowledge, and climate. Highly recommend. Trailer link: https://www.elementalfilm.com/streamingtrailer
