| Abstract: |
American Perspectives on the Wildland/Urban interface is a compilation of personal view points from stakeholders, local, state, and federal agencies, private and public landowners, and concerned citizens. The intent of this publication is to provide an opportunity to explore various perspectives on the interface growth, current assessment of the wildland/urban interface from an individual discipline to other like professionals, (concerns, solutions, and/or recommendations) as to what the future wildland/urban interface situation might hold, and possible solutions. Each chapter represents a discipline that affects (or can affect) the continued growth in the wildland/urban interface including the impact on our natural resources and the safety of residents and firefighters. We hope this publication will provide a reason for other professionals to consider their role in practicing their profession in the interface and to open a dialogue among all those who either work, live or play in the interface. |
