Through spring 2026, Nebraska experienced record-setting wildfires that had devastating effects on the agricultural community, livestock, and of course, the land. In the wake of these fires, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Department of Agricultural Economics is set to offer a webinar on recovery and pasture-resilience for the benefit of ranchers, landowners, land managers and natural resource professionals.
The webinar, “Wildfire Recovery and Management for Nebraska Rangeland and Pastures,” will be hosted by the university’s Center for Agricultural Profitability on Monday, April 20 at 11 a.m. MT. The virtual meeting will feature Mitch Stephenson, an associate professor and range management specialist, and Dirac Twidwell, a professor and rangeland ecologist.
Drawing on recent wildfire recovery research from the Nebraska Sandhills, the webinar will offer guidance on restoring rangeland health and productivity after fire. Participants also will be introduced to the university’s new wildfire monitoring website as an additional resource for land managers.
Registration for the webinar taking place at 11 a.m. MT, Monday, April 20, is available on the Center for Agricultural Profitability’s website.
