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!

Leadership Forum: Jeff Reece - Spring 2025

Conference/Seminar

Join us for an engaging leadership forum featuring Jeff Reece, a dynamic professional and Huntsman School of Business alum, who thrived in two contrasting careers - one consulting, investment banking and private equity and one in international conservation. Hear from Jeff on his unique perspective from living in two opposing worlds. 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.

EcoSmart Labs: A firm offering comprehensive solutions to help asset managers assess and address carbon risk.
