Time: 12:00 p.m. (noon) PT
See the registration link below.
As of June 28, over 8 million ha of forest had burned in high severity fires from Nova Scotia to British Columbia with another three months of fire season still to go. 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.
