Description: Joe Nicholas, Fuels Planner & Ecologist - Watershed Research and Training Center Topic: Fuel and Vegetation Dynamics Following Severe Wildfire in the Klamath Mountains Unusually large and severe wildfires in Northern California create new challenges for understanding and managing post-fire landscapes. This presentation examines when fire-killed trees fall, how fuels accumulate over time, and when reburn becomes likely. Drawing from field research across the Klamath Mountains, we'll discuss how to apply this knowledge to support ecosystem resilience and community safety in an era of increasingly large and destructive fires. Joe grew up in rural Shasta County and earned an undergraduate degree from Humboldt State University in 2011. He worked for ten years with the National Park Service before completing a Master of Science at Cal Poly Humboldt, where his research examined forest recovery following high-severity fire in the Klamath Mountains. He currently works for the Watershed Research and Training Center as a Fuels Planner & Ecologist. Join us for science and community at the Trinity County Brewing Company, February 25 at 6pm!
