LANDFIRE is Evolving: What to expect in 2021: The LANDFIRE Program is transitioning from bi-annual updates to annual product updates. By summer 2021, LANDFIRE will deliver updated vegetation and fuels spatial data sets reflecting disturbances submitted to the LANDFIRE Program or to national data bases that occurred in the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Additionally, burn severity information from Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG) and Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC) will be included for all fires available between 2017-2019 at the time of production. Vegetation type, vegetation cover and vegetation height in areas that were not disturbed 2017 - 2019 will be identical to LF 2016 Remap. Like LF 2016 Remap, surface and canopy fuels data sets will be delivered as “Year Capable” products reflecting regrowth of vegetation and fuels up to the delivery year (2021) for areas identified as disturbed in the 10 years prior to 2021. https://us9.campaign-archive.com/?u=25aeabb346a09aaf1c528f007&id=affd57bb0e

Golden-winged Warbler Ecology and Guidelines for Creating Breeding Habitat Presentation: Presented by Jeff Larkin, Ph.D., Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Marja Bakermans, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher, Indiana University of Pennsylvania The Golden-winged Warbler is a neo-tropical migrant that breeds in early successional habitats of North America. This imperiled songbird has experienced a 90%+ population decline in the Appalachian region over the past 50 years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering listing this species under the Endangered Species Act. The recent completion of a study in portions of Pennsylvania and Maryland provided the foundation of a Golden-winged Warbler Forestland BMP publication. These BMP's have potential for implementation through Farm Bill programs on private lands. Learn more by viewing this webinar.
