The Wild Idea

Greg Aplet: Forests, Fire, and What is Wild


Listen Later

Today we're welcoming forest ecologist Greg Aplet as we dive into one of the most common points of interest when it comes to the wilderness today: forest fires and how they impact spaces both wild and human. 

We talk with Greg about legislation and governmental actions, the costs and benefits of allowing fires to burn, the after-effects of the Smoky the Bear campaign, and how we can further the conversation between everyone impacted by logging, forest fires, and the ecology of the wilderness.


Connect with Greg and see the links and resources mentioned in today's episode on our website.
