A Better Way to Think About Wildland Fires
PSW and the Western Forestry Leadership Coalition teamed up with Untamed Science to produce a video educating people of the role and ecological benefits of wildfire in the western United States. Through interviews with scientists, land managers and wildfire responders, the video explores the factors leading up to today's era of megafires and explains how greater tolerance by the public for other forms of managed wildfire might be the best path for healthier forests and less destructive fires in the future.
