Overview: This three-day, field- and classroom-based workshop is open to all participants of any affiliation, and will introduce participants to: tools for selecting metrics that match management/restoration objectives; developing site-specific protocols for sampling; developing a monitoring handbook and monitoring protocols/program for your local ecosystems; and how to establish long-term monitoring and quantitative/qualitative data for wildfire risk assessment and evaluating the need for prescribed burns and other fuels treatments.

At Cloquet Forestry Center the natural communities we will be conducting hands-on field work in include: upland northern dry-mesic mixed woodlands, primarily multi-aged pine-dominated cover types with a variety of understory fuel conditions; northern wet meadow; and black spruce/tamarack forested wetlands.
