SUMMARY:Covey Film Fest Screenings at Tall Timbers
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Tall Timbers on January 25\, 2023\, for an evening of conservation films. We will be screening “Introducing the Indigo\,” “Okefenokee Destiny\,” “Oshkigin Spirit of Fire\,”  and “Okefenokee Swampin – On the Fly.” \nThe evening will begin with an outdoor social at 6 p.m.\, including wine and cheese. Films will follow at 6:45 p.m. and conclude around 8:30. \nAdmission is a $10 donation at the door\, or on the Covey Film Fest website. \nThe great local team of Laura Albritton and Zickie Allgrove will introduce and discuss their new short film “Introducing Indigo.”  \nRena Ann Peck\, Executive Director for the Georgia River Network will Join us to introduce two short films about the Okefenokee Swamp and efforts to protect the swamp and other natural areas from a proposed sand mine.  \nFilms being screened at the event: \n\n“Introducing the Indigo” is a short film aimed at young audiences that highlights the rare\, threatened Eastern indigo snake. The documentary discusses the longest snake native to North America and its declining numbers. The film was produced by Magic Kumquat Productions\, out of Thomasville\, Georgia.\nA segment of the PBS aired EcoSense for Living program\, “Okefenokee Destiny” focuses on swamp ecology and explores the future of Okefenokee at a time when a proposed mining operation on its border threatens the largest intact Blackwater wetland in North America.\nThe short film  “Okefenokee Swampin – On the Fly” will open for “Okefenokee Destiny” and give insight into the sportsmen’s perspective on conservation of the swamp. The film was created by the local team of Christopher Watt and Drew Balfour. \nFor thousands of years in the Great Lakes Region\, Native Americans used fire intentionally to manage the ecosystems they lived in. Now\, there is a short film\, “Oshkigin Spirit of Fire\,” highlighting this deep\, reciprocal relationship with the land and the traditional use of fire in the Ojibwe culture. The filming took place\, with permission\, on the reservations of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Minnesota and the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Wisconsin.\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Tall Timbers and USGS Remote Sensing of Burned Area Symposium
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to the Remote Sensing of Burned Area Symposium hosted by Tall Timbers and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on January 25 at the E.V. Komarek Science Education Center.  \nRemote Sensing of Burned Area\nTall Timbers and USGS Symposium\nIn person (RSVP\, lunch provided) and remote \n11:30-11:40 Introduction and overview of the SE FireMap online fire inventory product. Joe Noble\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Tallahassee\, FL 11:40-12:00 Mapping burned areas from Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery. Todd Hawbaker\, USGS Environmental Change Science Center\, Denver\, CO 12:00-12:20 Contemporary (1984-2020) fire history metrics for the conterminous United States. \nMelanie Vanderhoof\, USGS Environmental Change Science Center\, Denver\, CO\n12:20-12:40 Determination of burn severity models ranging from regional to national scales for the conterminous United States. Josh Picotte\, USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center\, Sioux Falls\, SD 12:40-1:00 Patterns of burning across the landscape using SE FireMap. Holly Nowell\, Tall Timbers Research Station\, Tallahassee\, FL \nBios and Abstracts:\nTodd J. Hawbaker\, PhD\, joined the U.S. Geological Survey as a research ecologist in 2008 and currently works at the Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center in Denver\, CO. His research with the USGS combines remote \nWhen:\nJanuary 25\, 2023\n11:30 AM-1:00 PM \nWhere:\nTall Timbers Research Station E.V. Komarek Science Education Center\, 13093 Henry Beadel Drive Tallahassee\, FL 32312. \nContact for Zoom link\, passcode\, other info\, and RSVP:\nJoe Noble\, jnoble@talltimbers.org oe Kevin Robertson krobertson@talltimbers.org. \nPresentation abstract: \nMonitoring spatial and temporal patterns of wild and prescribed fire ism critical for understanding fire patterns across both public and private lands. In the Southeast\, fire is especially important to healthy native landscapes\, to conserve listed and at-risk species\, manage for wildfire risk\, and minimize the need to conserve species through regulation. Here we present new efforts to improve the accuracy and completeness of burned area mapping over existing datasets by extending the Landsat Burned Area Algorithm to the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 dataset. The results of this effort will increase processing efficiencies and data accuracy. Most importantly\, the new burned area products will inform Southeast FireMap and ultimately promote better decision-making to prioritize funding for staff\, projects\, training\,\nequipment\, and allow fire partners to work smarter. \nMelanie Vanderhoof\, PhD\, is a Research Geographer for the U.S. Geological Survey\,\nGeosciences and Environmental Change Science Center in Denver\, CO. She uses remotely\nsensed data to explore how ecosystems respond to mechanisms of change\, such as climate\nextremes and wildfire. \nPresentation abstract: Remotely sensed burned area (BA) products are critical to support fire\nmodelling\, fire policy\, and land management. However\, BA products often require further\nprocessing before use\, even when delivered at an annual time-step. Fire management across the\nU.S. will benefit from comprehensive\, spatially explicit fire occurrence data\, delivered in a format\nto facilitate their direct use by diverse stakeholders. We produced a suite of contemporary fire\nhistory metrics from the Landsat BA products from 1984–2020 across the conterminous U.S. Fire\nhistory metrics\, alone\, or combined with historical or target fire regime data\, enables Landsat BA\ndata to help inform management of fire-dependent species and ecosystems\, fire behavior and\nemissions modeling\, fire risk analysis\, and prescribed fire planning\, all elements that are sensitive\nto fire history. \n  \nJosh Picotte has 15+ years of using field and remote-sensing based research for fire science\napplications. His infatuation with fire (and fire science) began while working at Tall Timbers\nResearch Station. He is currently working at USGS EROS on the MTBS\, LANDFIRE\, and SE\nFireMap projects.\nPresentation abstract: We developed regression models that describe the relationship between\nthe Composite Burn Index (CBI) field-derived and remotely sensed assessments (i.e.\, derivations\nof the Landsat derived Normalized Burn Ratio [NBR] index) of burn severity at different\necologically relevant scales for the conterminous United States (CONUS). Overall\, we found a\nreasonable goodness of fit (R2) of 0.55 for the differenced NBR (dNBR) and a poor fit (R2 = 0.33) for NBR at the CONUS scale\, and much better fits (R2 ≥ 0.75) for some smaller scale vegetation classifications. We will discuss how our simple decision tree framework allows a user to decide which scale and model may meet their needs to transform remotely sensed to on-the-ground burn severity metrics. \nHolly Nowell\, PhD\, joined Tall Timbers in August of 2022 after completing a post-doc\nat FSU where her studies included analyzing biases and uncertainties in the satellite\ndetection of fires in the Southeast United States\, as well as modeling their emissions.\nHer current work at Tall Timbers will focus on various aspects of SE FireMap including\nassessing regional patterns and impacts of burning on ecosystem services\, and\npredicting and communicating the uncertainties in the burned area product.\nPresentation abstract: This talk will show some preliminary research and discuss upcoming\nresearch on how to use SE FireMap to conduct landscape-level analysis of burning trends across\nthe Southeast US region. Current areas of focus in the preliminary work include temporal trends\nin burning on public vs. private lands in non-agricultural settings at a county level.

SUMMARY:Southwest Georgia PBA Economics of Prescribed Fire Event
DESCRIPTION:The Southwest Georgia PBA would like to formally invite you to Tall Timbers on November 5th for an educational event geared to give you more insight into the economics of prescribed fire.. Tall Timbers\, Golden Triangle RC&D\, and the rest of our partners want to help each and every one of you know the economic impact fire has on your properties. To do this\, we will be presenting on: \n\nLand Expectation Value (LEV) comparisons for stands with and without fire\n• Wood quality and longleaf study\n• Long-term volume study from Escambia\n• Economic calculations from quail plantations\n• Economic study of timber bid quotes of burned vs. unburned\n• Addressing char and trees sold for pulp\n• Economics of real estate value of burned versus unburned property\n\nMuch of this presentation will use the most recent data possible and will help you make individual educated decisions for property management. \nA link to RSVP for this event can be found here. We ask for a $20 dollar donation to the Private Lands Fire Initiative to attend the event. 100% of those proceeds will be used to assist the mission of fire application in AL\, FL\, and GA. If you have questions about this\, please feel free to contact me @ 9202901995. \nIf you live in Southwest Georgia\, are not yet a member of the SWGA PBA\, and would like to join\, please feel free to sign up for membership here. \nAs a reminder\, there are two forms of memberships in the Southwest Georgia PBA; regular members and honorary members. Regular members are any Georgia landowner with goals and objectives similar to the PBA\, who want help with burning their properties\, pay dues\, and have voting rights. Honorary members are people who can contribute and participate in PBA activities but do not pay dues or have voting rights. As we are getting closer to the end of the year\, it is important to note that the calendar year for the PBA runs from January to December. Membership dues will be collected in January 2023\, and there is no need to pay dues until that time.

SUMMARY:Greater Houston Chapter Quail Coalition Banquet
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  \nSeptember 9\, 2022  \nMedia Contact: Cristi McKee\, Communications Coordinator  \nPhone: 850-893-4153 ext. 242  \nEmail: cmckee@talltimbers.org  \nHOUSTON\, TX – Greater Houston Chapter of The Quail Coalition banquet to be held this fall \nOn October 12\, 2022\, the Greater Houston Chapter of the Quail Coalition will hold its annual 2022 banquet at the Houston Country Club\, 1 Potomac Dr\, Houston\, TX 77057\, after a five-year hiatus. The banquet will take place from 5:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. \nThe Quail Coalition\, which began in Dallas\, Texas\, is an independent 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that has been a huge fundraising mechanism for quail conservation projects and beneficiaries in the southern region of the United States. Every dollar raised at local banquets and events remain locally invested in the organization’s objectives to restore and sustain huntable wild quail populations\, while also engaging interested youth and promoting the area’s rich quail hunting heritage. The coalition has chapters throughout the state of Texas\, and over the last 15 years\, has raised more than $15 million for their beneficiaries. \nAccording to Brad Kubecka\, PhD\, Program Director and Western Game Bird Scientist at Tall Timbers\, the missions behind the Quail Coalition and Tall Timbers go hand in hand. “Both share the goal of restoring wild\, huntable quail populations. But\, most folks in the Greater Houston area may have no idea about Tall Timbers’ new Western Pineywoods Quail Program and the efforts going on in this area\,” Kubecka said. \nThe connection between Tall Timbers and the Quail Coalition formed several years ago when Kubecka began applying for funding. Sure enough\, “They saw the importance of our new program\,” according to Kubecka\, and that very first year\, one Quail Coalition chapter\, the Park Cities Chapter\, gave funding to Tall Timbers. \nAt this time\, there are 10 local chapters around the state of Texas with more than 3\,000 active members\, all of which provide benefits to the coalition’s partners. Past beneficiaries of this coalition include Tall Timbers\, The Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch\, Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute\, The Quail-Tech Alliance\, the Wildlife Toxicology Lab-Texas Tech\, Sul Ross Borderlands Research Institute and The Wildlife Habitat Federation. \nIn support of the Greater Houston Chapter banquet\, Tall Timbers has donated a wild quail hunt for four. This auction item will be a special opportunity for hunters to see the research at Tall Timbers and sister property Livingston Place\, home of the prestigious Continental Field Trial since 1937. \nKubecka says that this banquet will “undoubtedly help raise awareness and funds for promoting our shared goal of bringing back huntable populations of quail in the Pineywoods through focused research and land management.” \nYou can find more information online\, here.
