The Session will seek to reflect on archaeological, anthropological and community impacts, related to the rise in recent wildfire activity and weather/ecological influences. Discussion topics maybe wide ranging, and will likely encompass landscape impact, methodological concerns during archaeological assessments (pre- and post- impact), wildfire rehabilitation and living in communities in a post-wildfire ravaged area.
Session presentations will seek a diverse voice of experiences, ranging from Regulatory, Consultant, Academic, First Nation and Community perspective, with key points related to compiling recent data from wildfire related programs, present findings and disseminate key points, identify strengths and weaknesses in current methodologies, with the ultimate goal of creating guidance for future ecological impacts and resulting Regulatory Policy.
