I have recently joined the US Fire Learning Network as a Conservation Coordinator .  The US FLN is supported by a cooperative agreement among The Nature Conservancy, agencies of the Department of the Interior, and the USDA Forest Service.  The goal of the FLN is to foster innovation and the transfer of lessons learned among those working in various landscapes to accelerate the restoration of altered fire regimes at ecologically meaningful scales, in an ecologically-based and culturally-acceptable manner.  A large part of my job lies in smoothing the flow of information within the network, and supporting enhanced communication among its members.
