@UF_IFAS Glow Gators! @UF_IFAS 🐊🎃

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

Final day of the 2022 FL Chapter Meeting of the @foresters and Dr. Morgan Varner from @talltimbers1958 discussed the critical need to address the skyrocketing costs for #rxfire insurance. The California “Cat. Fund” may be the model forward. w/@SFFGS_UF

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

The Conversation Cafe led by @treeslasthope at the 2022 FL @foresters Chapter Meeting was an awesome experience. She was able to get a room full of introverted natural resource professionals to talk about #rxfire 🔥 frequency and seasonality! w/ @SFFGS_UF

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

Yesterday @ecologyonfire and @_JenFill served up some motivational #fireecology at the 2022 FL @foresters state chapter meeting. Their research drives home the importance keeping fire in frequent-fire ecosystems to conserve plant diversity.

WTREX is coming to NC! These are powerful safe-space events that build skills, relationships, and capacity while getting #Goodfire on the land. 🔥🌲

[Lenya Quinn-Davidson @lenyaqd]

Our next WTREX will be in North Carolina in February. Join us!! Everyone is welcome to apply! @WomensTREX #rxfire #womeninfire

@DrDisturbance reported that supplemental feeding for deer habitat costs 27x more than #rxfire when comparing the protein available to deer. 🦌

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

The @UFDEERLab at @UF_IFAS has shown that 🔥 #rxfire TIMING influences the nutrition available to whitetail deer 🦌. Burning in the Deep South in June increases the quality & availability of food sources for deer. Sound too complicated? Try ‘bow range burning’ @DrDisturbance

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

🦌 Hunters: “You can’t pour high quality habitat out of a bag, but you can pour it out of a driptorch 🔥.” Quote about managing whitetail deer habitat from @DrDisturbance. @UF_IFAS research shows why #rxfire really benefits deer.

Georgia burned over 1.3 million acres using #rxfire this year. You can watch and learn more from the Georgia Prescribed Fire Council meeting live on the @SEFireScience Facebook page. 🔥🌲🌳🦌🌻

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

So great to see old and new friends in the #rxfire community at the Georgia Prescribed Fire Council meeting. Stop by the @SEFireScience table to grab some science resources and stickers.😀

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

@PileLauren Thanks @PileLauren! Definitely keep @SEFireScience in mind when you’re ready to share results. We have folks in the SE who are interested. Especially on sites where rxfire can be hard to use or maybe in combination with rxfire.

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

@PileLauren I just had a question come in about goat browsing for fuel reduction in the SE! Do you know of a synthesis on grazing / browsing for fuels mgt in the SE?

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

As a long time @BackpackerMag reader this is sad news. ☹️. I’ve read the magazine for a solid 20 years and been a subscriber for most of that. No other publication had such a clear focus on the hiking community.

Great to join @UF_IFAS @SFFGS_UF UF Taylor Cty Extension and the @FLForestService for a Forest Stewardship Workshop today. Landowners and land managers learned about silviculture, #rxfire, and forest management in the Big Bend. Great chance to share @SEFireScience resources.

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

@PolkNR You said it! @PolkNR 🤦🏼‍♂️

[David R. Godwin @ThatFireSciGuy]

Decades without fire and now paying down the fire debt during extreme conditions. The future is going to smoky y’all. -Thinking of folks in the beautiful northern NM mountains.

[NOAA Satellites @NOAASatellites]

.@NOAA satellites are continuing to monitor wildfires throughout the US. Yesterday, #GOESEast captured this imagery of massive smoke plumes from the #CalfCanyonFire/#HermitsPeakFire, #CooksPeakFire, and #CerroPeladoFire as well as the associated hot spots (red) in New Mexico.

@drdavecoyle @Hopeycalichopey @usuextension @IUFRO You said it @drdavecoyle! I had to take a screenshot and send it to @danielg7. My first @IUFRO meeting and it didn’t disappoint. Great presentation @Hopeycalichopey!
