Our Methods

We are outdoor ecologists and qualitative reserachers who ask questions about wildfire, climate change and forest ecology in the places where those questions matter most - getting our boots on the ground whenever possible.

Our lab is equipped for both field work and laboratory-based data analyses. We have projects across the coastal and southern dry interior forests of British Columbia, both in remote locations and near communities.
