This BLM WY grant is for developing a comprehensive fire history within the Whoopup Canyon Petroglyph ACEC. The project will utilize dendrochronology, the study of tree rings, to identify the locations and precise ages of past fire events. Researchers will analyze cross sections from trees cut after the 2001 and 2011 wildfires, alongside newly collected samples of fire-scarred trees. The objective is to create detailed fire histories for both the canyon and its adjacent ridgetops. This will allow for a thorough assessment of how fire regimes have varied across space and time within and near the ACEC, providing valuable insights into ecological changes and future management.

| Description: | The project will develop a fire history for the Whoopup Canyon Petroglyph ACEC using dendrochronology to establish the locations and ages of past fires. Cross sections of trees that were cut following the 2001 and 2011 wildfires will be analyzed and additional samples of fire scarred trees will be collected and analyzed. The study will develop fire histories for both the canyon and adjacent ridgetops to assess spatial and temporal variation in the fire regime in and near the ACEC. |
