The Association for Fire Ecology is sponsoring a conference on Mixed Severity Fire Regimes in Spokane, WA in November 2004. Fire ecology and fire management challenges in selected ecosystems will be covered in plenary and concurrent sessions. Pre-conference workshops will include sessions on BEHAVEPlus, FARSITE, and FCCS.
