Show Notes

Fighting Fires with Fire with Dr. Sasha Berleman, Wildland Fire Scientist

Sustainability Now! Blast from the Past!

Once again, California is dry, dry, dry and that probably means we are in for a wild wildfire season. Since the beginning of 2021, there have been 10,000 wildfires across the state, and those that know are predicting the worst for this year's fire season.  So, what are we to do? Hear from Dr. Sasha Berleman, Wildland Fire Scientist. She is director of Fire Forward at Audubon Canyon Ranch in Stinson Beach. She is a CA State Certified Burn Boss, a Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) coach and leader, and a wildland firefighter with Fire Effects Monitoring, Squad Boss, Crew Boss, Firing Boss, and Incident Commander qualifications.  In this show from June 2021, find out about the risk of wildfires and what we can do to reduce the threat.

This show was originally broadcast on June 21, 2021.
