Science Series
@ Rosewood Nature Study Area
Wednesday April 16, 2025
6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Join us for an engaging evening of wildfire science, forest recovery, and inspiring research at the Rosewood Nature Study Area's Science Series. This special event features two emerging scientists from the University of Nevada, Reno, sharing their firsthand research on how forests in our region are responding to recent wildfires.
Speaker 1: Rosa Kirk-Davidoff
Pine Seedling Survival After the Tamarack Fire
Rosa is a Master’s student in the Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology program at UNR and a technician with the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station. Her work focuses on pine seedling survival in the Tamarack Fire burn area, exploring natural regeneration and the unexpected role of shrubs in helping forests recover.
Speaker 2: Tyler Pelletier
Whitebark Pine Resilience to Wildfire in California and the Great Basin
Tyler is a first-year PhD student at UNR studying plant community ecology. His research dives into the wildfire resilience of the federally threatened Whitebark pine, highlighting the species’ seed dispersal strategies, microhabitat needs, and survival mechanisms.
