Student Association for Fire Ecology
About
The Student Association for Fire Ecology is dedicated to exploring the role of fire in ecosystem processes. SAFE is the student organization of the Association for Fire Ecology (AFE) and benefits from their international expertise, funding, and networking. Since 2000, colleges and universities across North America have started SAFE chapters to bring awareness of the role of fire in their local ecosystems and to describe the ways the public can benefit from education and prescribed and natural fire. SAFE consists of a network of campus chapters, each with a faculty advisor. SAFE’s objective is to provide students from diverse backgrounds with an open forum on fire ecology through which research can be shared, networks formed, and funding and information resources can be accessed. SAFE helps you connect your interest in fire ecology nationally and internationally, highlighting and facilitating opportunities for students! AFE provides travel grants to SAFE members wishing to attend annual AFE conferences, where you can participate in mentor functions and chapter panel discussions, present papers, meet speakers, and enjoy many other activities with other students and fire professionals.
