Input received
• Project name• Focus areas• Stakeholders• Management questions• Restoration scenarios• Web portal• Output formats
• Where can restoration make a difference in reducing wildfire risk, sustaining habitats, supplying mills, supporting rural communities?
• How will projected climate scenarios affect future vegetation and fuel conditions over the long term (100 years)?
• What would it take in the way of fuel treatments to halt the upward spiral of fire suppression costs?
