SUMMARY:Performance Nutrition for the Everyday Athlete\, Dr. Dana Lis
DESCRIPTION:Description\nDid you know that the Performance Nutritionist for the Golden State Warriors is a long-time Tahoe Local and a UC Davis alumni? While the athletes on her past and present roster\, like Steph Curry and Chris Froome\, are a different breed of human\, the science of fueling for sport longevity is rooted in the same foundational nutritional physiology. With a research track record that has shaped specialized areas of performance nutrition\, and more than 20 years of Olympic and Professional sports experience across five continents\, Dr. Lis has become one of the most sought-after performance nutrition practitioners globally. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to learn a thing or two from her. With a knack for breaking down complex performance nutrition concepts into bite-sized pieces and a passion for imparting scientific skepticism\, you will take home five key nutritional strategies that all athletes\, at any level\, age\, or altitude can optimize. This session will jam-pack the latest evidence translated to real life on these key topics: maintaining and building muscle mass\, reducing injury risk or severity (including concussion) and accelerating return to performance after injury\, fortifying your body’s largest immune organ (the gut)\, and sifting through nutrition fake news. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. Presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. Tickets purchased in advance are $10 through EventBrite and free for students with a student ID. Tickets at the door are $15. Refreshments and a no-host bar will be available from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The lecture will begin at 6 p.m. in the Mountainside Bar at Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge\, 1850 W Lake Blvd\, Tahoe City\, CA 96145. \nUnable to make it in person? Join us at the specified date and time for a zoom webinar of the presentation. \nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Realignment of federal environmental policies to recognize fire’s role
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Enactment of the Clean Air Act (CAA)\, Endangered Species Act (ESA)\, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)\, three of the primary federal environmental laws\, all coincided with the height of fire suppression and exclusion in the United States. These laws fail to acknowledge or account for the importance of fire in many fire-adapted and fire-dependent ecosystems\, particularly in the American west\, or the imperative for fire restoration to improve resiliency and reduce wildfire risk as identified by western science and Indigenous knowledge. We review the statutory and regulatory provisions of these federal laws to identify how the existing policy framework misaligns with the unique role of fire in ecosystems and with Tribal sovereignty\, identify specific barriers and disincentives to beneficial fire use\, and propose specific policy reforms. \nPresented by: Sara A. Clark & Jenna Archer \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara A. Clark is a partner at Shute\, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP\, a public interest law firm dedicated to representing non-profit organizations\, Tribes\, and public agencies\, based in San Francisco. She has worked extensively with Tribes\, Tribal organizations\, land trusts\, and prescribed burn associations to help implement beneficial fire projects and advance beneficial fire policy at the state and federal level. She serves as co-lead of The Stewardship Project\, a federal policy and advocacy group that brings together Indigenous practitioners and western scientists. Ms. Clark is the lead author of the Good Fire reports for the Karuk Tribe and served as a subject matter expert on issues related to cultural burning and Tribal sovereignty in the Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission. She also serves as the Chair of the Board of Directors for Save the Redwoods League. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJenna Archer is an attorney at Shute\, Mihaly & Weinberger LLP\, a public interest law firm. She has worked with land trusts\, Tribal organizations\, and local and state government entities to further her clients’ work in land conservation and stewardship. Her practice areas include land trust and conservation law and beneficial fire policy. Ms. Archer has worked with The Stewardship Project to develop federal policy recommendations to promote the use of beneficial fire\, including prescribed fire\, Indigenous cultural burning\, and wildfire managed for resource benefit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Increasing Physical Activity Through the Use of Trails and Greenways
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will review details of the Community Preventive Services Task Force recommendation\, share resources to help professionals encourage people be active on trails and greenways\, and provide examples from the field from CDC’s Division of Nutrition\, Physical Activity\, and Obesity-funded state\, tribal\, and local communities. \nPresented by: \n\nKaitlin Graff\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\n\nWebinar Outline \n\nPhysical activity is one of the most important things that people can do to improve their health now and in the future. However\, few Americans get the minimum amount of recommended physical activity. In addition\, many communities are not designed in ways to provide safe and convenient opportunities for physical activity for all. A growing body of evidence shows that increasing access to trails and recreation areas increases physical activity levels while also promoting other health and social benefits. \n\nIn 2020\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched Active People\, Healthy Nation℠\, a national initiative to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. The initiative is based on evidence-based strategies recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) to promote physical activity. In 2022\, CPSTF recommended park\, trail\, and greenway infrastructure interventions with additional activities\, such as structured programs\, to increase physical activity. This presentation will review details of the CPSTF recommendation\, share resources to help professionals encourage people be active on trails and greenways\, and provide examples from the field from CDC’s Division of Nutrition\, Physical Activity\, and Obesity-funded state\, tribal\, and local communities. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the CPSTF recommendation on park\, trail\, and greenway infrastructure interventions when combined with additional interventions to increase physical activity and the use of parks\, trails\, and greenways for other health and social benefits.\nIdentify opportunities for professionals to partner and lead efforts to increase physical activity and use of trails and greenways through infrastructure improvements\, programming\, community engagement\, public awareness\, and addressing other access barriers.\nIncrease awareness and knowledge about how Active People\, Healthy Nation is working with states\, communities\, tribes\, and national partners to provide safe places to be physically active\, such as on trails and greenways.\n\nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Shifts in seasonality and increases in hydroclimate whiplash are increasing California wildfire risk
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Abundant evidence suggests climate change has already increased wildfire risk in California\, mainly due to increases in both mean and episodic extreme landscape-scale vegetation aridity. Warming temperatures and increasing evaporative demand have directly driven most of this observed trend\, and will continue to be prominent with further warming. However\, additional aspects of observed and/or projected climate change in California may further amplify wildfire risk by altering historical relationships between fuel aridity\, fuel loading\, and hydroclimate extremes. In this talk\, I will consider recent evidence that seasonal shifts in the onset of California’s “rainy season\,” combined with increasingly extreme swings between extremely wet and dry conditions\, may combine to produce increases in wildfire risk that are “larger than the sum of their parts. \nPresented by: Dr. Daniel Swain \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Daniel Swain is a climate scientist focused on the dynamics and impacts of extreme events—including droughts\, floods\, storms\, and wildfires—on a warming planet. Daniel holds joint appointments as a climate scientist with University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) and the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability\, and as a research fellow at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research. He engages extensively with journalists and other media partners\, serving as a climate and weather science liaison to print\, television\, radio\, and web-based outlets to facilitate accessible and accurate coverage and conversations surrounding climate change. Daniel is an alumnus of the University of California\, Davis (B.S.\, Atmospheric Science) and of Stanford University (Ph.D.\, Earth System Science)\, and completed his postdoctoral work at UCLA. He also authors the widely-read Weather West blog (weatherwest.com)\, which provides real-time perspectives on California weather and climate\, and can be found on Twitter (@Weather_West)\, Bluesky (@WeatherWest) and YouTube (@WeatherWest). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:From Crisis to Action: Initial Perceptions of the USFS Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscape Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The US Forest Service began the Wildfire Crisis Strategy initiative in 2022 with the aim to accelerate forest restoration and resilience across selected Landscapes. Although this sort of focused effort on landscape-scale work has been and is being done through other initiatives\, this approach is unique and broad in scope and function as it identified 21 high risk “Landscapes” to focus treatment investment. In this research we utilize social science methodologies to gain a baseline of knowledge for how those involved in managing Crisis Strategy Landscapes feel the process is unfurling. This talk will discuss the results we found through discussions with all 21 Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscapes with an emphasis on commonalities\, potential barriers to wildfire mitigation work\, and where successes have been leveraged. \nWhile the Strategy represents some new approaches to this needed work\, it also falls into patterns seen in previously implemented restoration initiatives. Due to the newness of the Strategy\, a great deal of uncertainty persisted alongside optimism and hope that landscape-scale restoration work may be enabled. Lessons learned from this current initiative have the ability to inform changes to improve the implementation of the current Crisis Strategy and aid in the design of future large scale restoration efforts. \nPresented by: Dr. Stephen D. Fillmore & Andrew Johnson \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephen currently works for the USDA US Forest Service\, where he serves as the Region 5 Fuels Operations Specialist. His portfolio focuses on working with National Forests and their partners to increase the amount and quality of wildfire fuels mitigation work accomplished within California and the Pacific Islands. He has spent more than 20 years working for the US federal government directly in fuels management as a Regional Fuels Specialist\, Forest Fuels Officer\, District Fuels Officer\, and Agency Fuels Officer. He actively works in wildfire management and is qualified as a Complex Incident Commander\, Complex Operations Section Chief\, and Type 1 Burn Boss. During the fire season he helps to lead one of California’s Incident Management Teams and during the off-season his work often focuses on prescribed fire operations\, planning\, and training. \nHe recently finished his Ph.D. (2023) from the University of Idaho where his dissertation focused on wildfire decision making within the context of wildfires managed for an objective other than full suppression. He is a social scientist whose academic work resides in the realm of thematically derived interpretations of behavior as well as risk-based structured and unstructured decision-making. Stephen also serves as the principal consultant at Wildfire Solutions International\, LLC. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAndrew is a PhD Student in the Stephens Lab at UC Berkeley. His research interests include fire management social science\, wildfire risk quantification and management\, and fuel treatment effectiveness. He is especially interested in where the three of those interests converge. His dissertation includes projects that use surveys\, interviews\, and spatial analysis to investigate fuel treatment outcomes during fire operations. He is also a USDA Forest Service ORISE fellow working on the Wildfire Treatment Outcomes\, where he serves in the role of facilitator. This project seeks to understand how fuel treatments influence ecological\, containment\, and infrastructure wildfire outcomes. Andrew also serves as the Student Association for Fire Ecology President\, where he helps to coordinate events for students. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Untrammeling the wilderness: Restoring natural conditions through the return of human-ignited fire
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Historical and contemporary policies and practices\, including the suppression of lightning-ignited fires and the removal of intentional fires ignited by Indigenous peoples\, have resulted in over a century of fire exclusion across many of the United States’ landscapes. Within many designated wilderness areas\, this intentional exclusion of fire has clearly altered ecological processes and thus constitutes a fundamental and ubiquitous act of trammeling. Through a framework that recognizes four orders of trammeling\, we demonstrate the substantial\, long-term\, and negative effects of fire exclusion on the natural conditions of fire-adapted wilderness ecosystems. In order to untrammel more than a century of fire exclusion\, the implementation of active programs of intentional burning may be necessary across some wilderness landscapes. We also suggest greater recognition and accommodation of Indigenous cultural burning\, a practice which Tribes used to shape and maintain many fire-adapted landscapes for thousands of years before Euro-American colonization\, including landscapes today designated as wilderness. Human-ignited fire may be critical to restoring the natural character of fire-adapted wilderness landscapes and can also support ecocultural restoration efforts sought by Indigenous peoples. \nPresented by: Clare Boerigter \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClare Boerigter is the Wilderness Fire Research Fellow for the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute\, part of the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station. Clare’s research focuses on federal wilderness fire management\, including the challenges\, barriers\, and benefits to the use of prescribed fire in wilderness landscapes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Uncovering the Past and Planning for the Future: Washington\, D.C.’s Underground & Piped Stream Mapping Project
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTERS \n\nJosh Burch\, Environmental Protection Specialist\, D.C. Department of Energy & Environment\nJoe Arrowsmith\, Director of Ecosystem Restoration\, Straughan Environmental\n\nABSTRACT \nOver the last 200 years the land area where Washington\, D.C. is located has been transformed from a sparsely populated area filled with forests\, streams\, and farmlands to a thriving city-state with over 700\,000 people living and working within its borders. While much is known about the farmlands and forest giving way to housing\, buildings\, and roadways\, very little was known about what happened to the hundreds of miles of streams that meandered through the area. This presentation will cover the origins of the Underground & Piped Stream Mapping Project which created a database of historically mapped streams dating back to 1791\, a history of lost streams in D.C.\, a priority list of streams for daylighting\, and concept designs for potential daylighting projects. The Underground & Piped Stream Mapping project was not only a historical research project; rather it was also a planning project for what lies ahead and presenters will share stories about the project and lessons learned from it. \nClick here to learn more

SUMMARY:Plan Trails to Minimize Wildlife Disturbance
DESCRIPTION:A summary of best practices for trail groups who plan\, design\, and manage nonmotorized trails to minimize disturbance of or conflict with wildlife\, specifically large carnivores. \nPresented by: \n\nMagi Scallion\, Market Sector Lead\, Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure\n\nWebinar Outline \nA summary of best practices for trail groups who plan\, design\, and manage nonmotorized trails to minimize disturbance of or conflict with wildlife\, specifically large carnivores. Focusing on BC’s habitats\, this presentation delivers a series of recommendations that span for trail planning (macro environmental factors) to trail design (specific environmental features) to trail management (human use and maintenance). \nAs the world population grows and more people are participating in outdoor recreation in wild spaces\, recreation groups need to address the impacts on wild animals. Much work has been done to outline best practices associated with trail planning\, design and management\, to minimize environmental impacts such as erosion\, or use conflicts\, such as mountain bike and equestrian conflicts. While extensive research over the past 30 years has considered the recreation impacts on wild animals\, minimal work has been done to connect this research to trail planning\, design and management principles. \nOur work connects wildlife research with trail planning\, design and management best practices to minimize overlap and conflict between people participating in recreation and wild animals. Our focus for this work is on landscapes typically found in British Columbia and large predators\, such as bears\, wolves and cougars. While other animals\, including ungulates and meso-predators\, will feel impacts associated with recreation\, our work assumes that the impacts on large predators will also apply to these other animals. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nTrail planning best practices\nTrail planning processes\nTrail design for minimizing wildlife interaction\n\nClick here to learn more
