@prairierestored is searching for instructors interested in learning more about #rangelands (#FireEcology, #PyricHerbivory, #MixedSpeciesHerbivory...) and how related topics could be integrated into their curriculum.

Used my lunch break to collect a few cores from the @JenksFERST long-term study site. This #dendrochronology stuff is addictive!

[Bryan Yockers @yockfire]

You #dendrochronology folks have Tree-Ring Tuesday and Fire-Scar Friday…. How about Increment-Core “Thor’s-day”? I’d be interested in seeing some interesting/beautiful cores and reading about adventures retrieving them. @JoeBuckInNature @dendroguy @TreeLabOK @marschall_joe

Ben Wu presents an important topic at #srm2022 @rangelands ! Education is key to making change- thanks to @motreadwell & @yockfire for your contribution to this topic 👏🏻

[Bryan Yockers @yockfire]

I'm very excited about an upcoming opportunity to join @TreeLabOK for a preliminary fire-scar survey. Here's to a successful catface hunt! #CrossTimbers #FireHistory #Dendrochronology

Simple approach for “drying out” leaf litter samples for my AP Environmental Science classes.

[Bryan Yockers @yockfire]

Met 2 student ecologists & a fellow Jenks teacher out at Tulsa, OK’s Turkey Mountain this morning for “pre-burn” sampling. Can’t wait for “post-burn” sampling after Turkey’s first prescribed burn! #RxFire #goodfire #prescribedfire

[Texas A&M Forest Service @TXForestService]

Texas A&M Forest Service crew leaders Surcey Peoples and Bob Williams demonstrate how to use a jeep equipped with a fire plow in 1950. They also used a drip torch to set a backfire and remove any flammable fuel near the plowed fire lane. #ThrowbackThursday #RootsofTexasForestry
