Dr. Lisa Micheli, the President and CEO of Pepperwood Preserve moderates a discussion about how to build resilience before wildfire happens. By using science and research-based methods, indigenous practices, and resource conservation the landscape can improve its resilience naturally. Dr. Micheli speaks about how the Pepperwood Preserve is a ‘living laboratory’ for testing and applying these ecological practices just to the north of Santa Rosa. Joining her in the conversation are practitioners and experts in these methodologies, who share practical examples of doing this work, the challenges involved, and the benefits both for the community's risk of wildfire destruction and for the ecosystem's health overall.
