Welcome to the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network

Fire management is an ever present challenge in the Southern Rockies, as the threat of fire is unrelenting. This threat presents a challenge to resource managers who often must balance protections of human values while identifying opportunities to use prescribed fire as a tool in responsible natural resource management. The Southern Rockies Fire Science Network is user driven, which means scientists and those who use and benefit from science will work together to answer important questions through collaboration that involves face-to-face communications and use of technology. Through such tools as workshops, field trips, webinars and web-based communication, collaborative processes can draw together disparate research and resource-management cultures to address complex wildland fire issue.
