Women
& Philanthropy invites you to an engaging conversation with Associate
Professor Emily Schlickman of landscape architecture and environmental
design at UC Davis. Schlickman's work ignites new ways of thinking about
climate adaptation, wildfire resilience and landscape planning at a time
increasingly shaped by extreme fire behavior.
Beyond
her academic research, Schlickman is trained as a certified prescribed-fire
crew member and has participated in controlled burns, giving her firsthand
insight into fire dynamics, fuel loads and the role of beneficial fire in
restoring ecosystems. Her approach sparks collaboration across design, fire
science and community partnership to reimagine how we coexist in a world of
wildfires. Join us as we explore her research and the strategies that can build
fire-adapted communities, reduce risk and fuel a more resilient future for
regions facing growing wildfire challenges.
