7:30 AM - 9:00 AM Introduction to field exercises and demonstrations - Coeur d'Alene Resort
9:00-9:30 AM Travel to University of Idaho Experimental Forest Matthew M. McGovern unit
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM Wildland fire simulation and field technology demonstration
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Forestry simulation and field technology demonstration
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Lunch - Boxed lunches in the woods
A unique feature of this conference is giving participants the opportunity to see and evaluate new technology in the woods. Attendees will participate in or observe simulation exercises highlighting wildland firefighting, operational forestry and other uses at the UIEF Matthew M. McGovern property just south of Coeur d'Alene.
