Episode Details

In this episode, we speak with Devyn Friedfel, Pepperwood’s Fire and Stewardship Manager and a California-certified Burn Boss, about the history of fire in California and the importance of using fire as a key part of land stewardship in this fire-adapted region of Northern California. We will focus on a practice known as "pile burning." This beneficial fire management technique involves burning piles of forest debris to reduce the risk of wildfires.
