Sonoran Desert Fuel Breaks: Field Trip Summary

Thank you for joining us on the field tour of Sonoran Desert Fuel Breaks. All of us with the Southwest Fire Science Consortium team and field trip planning committee are grateful for the conversations and connections.

If you would like a copy of the newly created Sonoran Desert fire perimeter map, please fill out this evaluation. Your feedback helps us continue doing this work – thank you!

Share your 2-3 best photos from the trip! Email me or upload here. By sharing, you give us permission to use these in our various educational products. (thank you!!)

I’ve attached the list of attendees and signed everyone up for the SWFSC quarterly e-news (all 12 of you who weren’t already subscribed). We hope to see you at another event sometime!
