Topics include how to determine when to replant burned areas and when to let natural regeneration take its course; best practices for avoiding the introduction of invasive species; and whether it's better to attempt indigenous plant restoration or shift to species better adapted and adaptive to current and future climate conditions.
Giusti, whose areas of expertise include management and sustainability of forest resources and natural resources and the environment, will be available for questions following the presentation.
