Episode Description:
Mega wildfires are an anomaly. They aren't supposed to happen. Fires aren't supposed to burn millions of acres of land in a single year. More than that, they aren't supposed to be a multi-billion dollar problem. This episode is focused on private landowners and the role they play in preventing and mitigating fire risks on their land.
Our guests, 7th generation rancher Algeo Che Casul, Pepperwood CEO Dr. Lisa Micheli, and Lomakatsi Restoration Project’s Marko Bey and Belinda Brown talk about how prescribed fire can be an effective strategy in preventing mega-fires, how to train the younger generation for the big work ahead, and how to prioritize the work that needs to be done.
We are making decisions today that impact not only us but also the next seven generations that are yet to come. While our knowledge and resources may be limited at present, there is something we can do to leverage them. Tune in and discover how to connect indigenous practices and Western knowledge to create better outcomes!
