USU Wildland Fire Club - Wildland Fire Training
Workshop/Training
The WILD 2450 Wildland Fire Operations course is provided in conjunction with the USU Wildland Fire Club and is now an approved USU course, if you wish university credit. This training is a combination of three National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) courses including, S130 - Wildland Firefighter Training, S190 - Introduction to Fire Behavior, L180 - Human Factors on the Fireline. These courses, in part, qualify one as a Wildland Firefighter 2 (FFT2) in IQCS (Incident Qualifications and Certification System - commonly referred to as being Red Carded). To be a Wildland Firefighter with most local, state, and federal land and fire management agencies and contractors, one needs to complete S130/S190/L180 to be qualified as a Wildland Firefighter 2 (FFT2) in IQCS. Upon successful completion of S130/S190/L180 students will be issued NWCG Training Course Completion Certificates.

USU + UDWR Lunch Seminar Series: Maximizing Success of Seed-Based Restoration
Breakfast/Luncheon/Dinner
Join us for our monthly USU and UDWR Seminar Series in person or via Zoom. Light lunch is provided for in-person attendees. Title: "Maximizing success of seed-based restoration: analysis of current practices and experimental tests of new possibilities" Authors: Spencer Good, Kari Veblen, Eric Thacker (Dept. of Wildland Resources, USU), Tom Monaco (USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Unit), Kevin Gunnell, Danny Summers, Melissa Landeen (UDWR Great Basin Research Center Talk Summary: "Our collaborative research with the UDWR aims to improve restoration outcomes throughout Utah's rangelands. First, we have been investigating the species composition of restoration seed mixes used by UDWR, particularly with respect to the "Resistance and Resilience" framework that is increasingly being used to inform management of western rangelands. Second, we have been experimentally evaluating the field performance of different seed mixes that include vs. exclude commonly-used non-native species and the potential of these different types of mixes to promote multiple restoration goals."

Ecology Center Seminar Series - Dr. Mike Dietze
Conference/Seminar
The USU Ecology Center is pleased to host our January Seminar Series speaker, Dr. Mike Dietze, from the Department of Earth and Environment at Boston University.
Dr. Michael Dietze leads the Ecological Forecasting Laboratory, the mission of which is to better understand and predict ecological systems; he is the author of Ecological Forecasting. He is interested in the ways that iterative forecasts, which are continually confronted with new data, can improve and accelerate basic environmental science, while at the same time making that science more directly relevant to society (e.g., nature-based climate solutions). Much of the current work in the lab is organized under two broad umbrellas, the Near-term Ecological Forecasting Initiative (NEFI) and the PEcAn project.
A public reception will immediately follow the seminar. All are welcome!

One world of perpetual growth fuel by extraction, consumption and waster and the other striving for ecological balance and social justice.
Reece is the co-founder of several organizations and initiatives that operate at the intersection of business and conservation. These include:
MarVivo Network: A blue carbon mangrove and marine conservation network within the Eastern Tropical Seascape, encompassing areas such as the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula.
InfiniteEARTH: A company specializing in developing and managing tropical conservation land banks, providing environmental offsets, and creating private-label corporate social responsibility (CSR) solutions for businesses worldwide.
