Ecological burning in the Sierra Nevada: Actions to achieve restoration.

Title
Ecological burning in the Sierra Nevada: Actions to achieve restoration.
Abstract
Sierra Forest Legacy’s goal is to significantly increase the use and support of ecologically appropriate fire at the local, state, and federal levels in the Sierra Nevada. We propose the following key actions to land management agencies in support of this goal: develop a collaborative pilot project; manage the landscape to produce low, moderate, and high severity fire effects; utilize the Forest Service’s strategic management response policy in all fire events; ensure adequate staffing year round to accomplish burns; and increase public education for the critical role fire plays in restoration efforts in the Sierra Nevada
