What is forest resilience and how do we measure it in forest restoration?

A virtual panel and presentation with: Malcolm North,  Ryan Tompkins,  Alexis Bernal, Brandon Collins, Rob York 

Join the authors of the recent publication “Operational resilience in western US frequent-fire forests” for a discussion and presentation about the latest recommendations and considerations for managing forests for resilience.
