- TVWC Landscape Restoration Strategy
- This Landscape Restoration Strategy (LRS) was developed over seven months during 2014-2015 by the Taos Valley Watershed Coalition (TVWC). Coalition members manage or provide land use consultation on all of the adjoining jurisdictions within our focus area, which extends from the Rio Grande del Rancho on the south to the San Cristobal drainage on the north and also includes the Rio Fernando, Rio Pueblo, Rio Lucero, Rio Arroyo Seco, and Rio Hondo stream systems. Coalition members agree to focus on the goals of protecting, improving, and restoring the water quality, quantity, and ecological function of the forests and streams in the Rio Grande watershed within Taos County, to the benefit of both local and downstream water users. This LRS was developed by our membership to document our shared understanding of scientific data and community values, and to guide coordinated actions within our local watersheds.

- Research Perspectives on the Public and Fire Management: A Synthesis of Current Social Science on Eight Essential Questions
- Eight Essential Questions: What is the public's understanding of fire's role in the ecosystem? Who are trusted sources of information about fire? What are the public's views of fuels reduction methods, and how do those views vary depending on citizens' location in the wildland-urban interface or elsewhere? What is the publics' understanding of smoke effects on human health, and what shapes the public's tolerance for smoke? What are homeowners' views of their responsibilities for home and property protection and mitigation, e.g., defensible space measures? What role does human health and safety play in the publics' perceptions of fire and fire management? What are the publics' views on the role and importance of costs in wildfire incident response decisions? To the extent that information is available, how do findings differ among ethnic and cultural groups, and across regions of the country? Provided by FireScience.gov and the USDA
