Description
Summary:The establishment of dialogue with international colleagues helps both parties by allowing for the introduction of new ideas to address resource concerns, establishment of ties that can lead to joint educational programs and student exchanges, and fostering of a better understanding of forestry at a global scale (Kanowski 2015). In this image, Dr. Kalev Jogiste of the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu, Estonian, inspects a pine stump on the CEF still smoldering a week after a prescribed fire while Dr. James Guldin of the USDA Forest Service's Southern Research Station explains the role of resin-soaked wood ("rich pine" or "fatwood") in perpetuating fire risk.
