Lower Cowpasture Restoration Projects: Prescribed fire was used to reduce fire risk and forest stand improvement was used to restore early succession habitat on 6,169 acres; restoration of James Spiny mussel populations in the Cowpasture River on national forest lands; five new vernal pools were created for native amphibians and stream-crossings improved for cold water fishes.

Overwintering behavior reduces mortality for a terrestrial turtle in forests managed with prescribed fire: Using radiotelemetry, we studied overwintering behavior and interactions with fire in a forest-dwelling terrestrial turtle, the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina), over an eight-year period at two sites that use prescribed fire in forest management.

Western Fire Chiefs Association (WFCA) Fire Map: The WFCA Fire Map pulls data from the US Forest Service via National Interagency Fire Center IRWIN feed, and 911 Dispatch data via PulsePoint to track the location of the wildﬁre as they start and while they’re burning. The WFCA Fire Map is the ﬁrst map of its kind to pull such data from 911 Dispatch in relevant areas.
