National Interdisciplinary Lookout Conference
April 4, 2026, Moscow, Idaho
A conference dedicated to the study of Fire Lookouts in the Human Environment. Sponsored by the University of Idaho’s College of Art and Architecture and College of Graduate Studies, and in partnership with the Forest Fire Lookout Association.
This year’s theme, “Lookouts and the Wilderness,” explores the complex relationship between fire lookouts and federally designated Wilderness areas, as well as the concept of “wilderness” itself. We welcome presentations about fire lookouts in both federally designated Wilderness and also places that have a “wild” character.
