After being postponed in 2020 due to Covid-19, we are looking forward to the 2021 Fire in the Crown of the Continent Forum [1], hosted by the Crown Managers Partnership in association with several agencies, organizations, Tribes, and the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network. The event will be held virtually from March 22nd to March 26th. Each day will feature a unique 4-hour session. Registration, full agenda and information are available on the Forum website [1].

Each day of the forum will feature a new fire-related topic:

March 22: Fire Past and Future: Fact, Fiction, and Uncertainty

March 23: Traditional Knowledge and Active Fire Use in the Crown

March 24: Fire in the Human Environment

March 25: Fire Management in Practice: Obstacles, Implementation and Successes

March 26: Fire in Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems

The Crown Managers Partnership is a multi-jurisdictional partnership among federal, state, provincial, tribal, and first nation agency managers and universities in Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia. Annual forums facilitate networking opportunities, build collaboration, and deepen understanding of common issues in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.

This forum has a registration fee of $60 CAD. If you need financial support or a fee waiver to register, email crownmanagers@gmail.com [2]
