Wildfire has impacted many Nebraska ranchers and landowners who now face questions about how land will recover, next management steps and how to plan for the months ahead. A Nebraska Extension webinar at noon Central Time on April 20 will offer guidance to help land managers make more informed decisions after fire.
The webinar, “Wildfire Recovery and Management for Nebraska Rangeland and Pastures,” will be hosted by the Center for Agricultural Profitability at Nebraska, featuring Mitch Stephenson, associate professor and range management specialist, and Dirac Twidwell, professor and rangeland ecologist.
Drawing on recent wildfire recovery research from the Nebraska Sandhills, the webinar will offer considerations for restoring rangeland health and productivity after fire. Participants also will be introduced to the university’s new wildfire monitoring website, which is designed to provide timely data and decision-making resources for land managers.
The session is intended for ranchers, landowners, land managers and natural resources professionals seeking research-based guidance on post-wildfire recovery and long-term pasture resilience.
Registration is available on the Center for Agricultural Profitability’s website.
More resources for wildfire activity and recovery are available from Nebraska Extension.
