SERIES: Role of the Non-Profit
“We had to understand that things were changing whether we like it or not. We want to keep things the way they were but to be resilient in the future, we need to adapt to the fact that fire is a necessary part of the ecosystem.” -Lisa Micheli Ph.D
Episode Description:
The 3 most expensive words are: equity, sustainability and resiliency. We are now in a period where we are paying for the lack of stewardship with high costs, but there is still a hope. This week, Dr. Lisa Micheli, joins the stage to talk about how to connect each individual landowner to their community and to resource opportunities. Dr. Micheli is the CEO and President of Pepperwood Preserve Foundation and has also served on the board of Rebuild NorthBay Foundation since 2018. In terms of long-term recovery, a wider scope and a more aggressive approach is required. Dr. Micheli shares more about the work they do on education and resiliency strategies and how it can be duplicated by other communities. As a scientist and researcher, she also discusses the nature of fires and why it is beneficial for the ecosystem, how fire travels, and landscape solutions to scale up the area of treatment. If landowners, funders, developers, and communities team up together and start meaningful conversations instead of arguments, they can change the framework of how we catch up with the backlog on stewardship. Tune in and find out how to save time on planning and move resources forward with a more cost effective approach.
