Journey Santa Fe & the Watershed Association Present:
Partnering to Manage the Wildfire Risk Across Large Landscapes:
Why Forest Managers and Stakeholders are Collaborating More than Ever
Alan W. Barton, J.D., Ph.D.
For twenty years, during the spring and summer the news media have carried more and more stories of large, catastrophic wildfires across the Western United States. Collaborative groups such as the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed Coalition have formed, creating partnerships to work across property boundaries to reduce the risk of wildfires.
Alan Barton is the Collaboration Program Manager at the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute in Las Vegas, NM, on the campus of Highlands University and is a partner in the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed Coalition.
