Revolutionizing Wildfire Preparedness in BC: Centre for Wildfire Coexistence
UBC Forestry’s Centre for Wildfire Coexistence (CWC) responds to an escalating need to proactively adapt forestry and land management practices with the aim of restoring healthy and resilient forests, as communities adapt to a changing climate.Led by Dr. Lori Daniels, Koerner Chair in Wildfire Coexistence at UBC, the Centre will support innovative approaches and novel discoveries co-created in collaboration with other research experts, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, government agencies, private land owners and forest, fire and land management professionals.Given our new climate reality, holistic and transformative changes to fire and forest management are urgently needed to achieve ecosystem and community resilience, and learn to coexist with wildfire.
