As of June 28, over 8 million ha’s of forest has burned in high severity fires from Nova Scotia to British Columbia with another three months of fire season still ahead of us. These fires are resulting in significant social, ecological and economic impacts. Transformational change in landscape-scale forest and fire management is key to reducing area burned at high severity. Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists will be hosting a series of  webinars this fall on topics  associated with the ongoing drought. The first of these will be a webinar on the drought and Fire Ecology, by Bob Gray, CEO of R.W. Gray Consulting Ltd.
