The webinar examined aspects of water quality and land management practices on western forests and rangelands in the wake of wildfires. These included pre- and post-wildfire practices that reduce impacts on water quality and ecosystem health and models for addressing forest health and water quality issues through public-private partnerships.

The webinar was moderated by Marcus Selig, Vice President, Field Programs, National Forest Foundation. Panelists: Fawn Bergen, Global Program Manager, Water and Carbon Footprint, Intel Corporation; Natural Resources Conservation Service; Bruce Hallin, Director of Water Supply, Salt River Project. It is part of a series for the National Forest and Rangeland Management Initiative, which enables states and land managers to share best practices and policy options for forest and rangeland management.
