Collaboration Summit 2026
Wildland fire fighters on a hill

Welcome to University of Idaho Marketplace

Collaboration Summit 2026:
Fire Knows No Boundaries 
 


The James A. and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy Research and the Rangeland Center at the University of Idaho and the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University are hosting a one-day Collaboration Summit to highlight Idaho partnerships formed around responses to wildland fire, across boundaries and dynamic landscapes, both human and natural.  

The Summit will be interactive; collaboration practitioners will set the stage for engagement, connecting participants with frameworks that can help to navigate natural resources challenges. Speakers will share wildland fire collaboration successes and challenges, ranging from wildland fire preparation to long-term ecosystem resilience on fire-prone landscapes, highlighting approaches and strategies. Sessions will include perspectives from communities, governments, industry, and the latest research.  

This event is designed to bring together people from across Idaho and the west, with intentional time for networking.  

Participants will gain 1) an understanding of collaborative approaches for wildland fire prevention, adaptation, and response; 2) ideas about applying these approaches in their community/region/area and to other challenging and potentially contentious natural resources issues; 3) strategies and on-the-ground tools for engaging across boundaries; and 4) new relationships that leverage “the wisdom in the room.”
