How should we manage forests, considering wildfire risks and forest resilience?
Managing forests in Oregon and California is a hot topic, literally. Wildfire risks are at the heart of controversies. Given the severity and frequency of wildfires, forest resilience strategies are essential. But what constitutes good versus poor forest management? What are the objective factors? What subjective opportunities are there within the broad spectrum of forest management that prioritize regional assets, constraints and other factors?
Joining the JX to discuss are three guests:
Dr. Chhaya Werner is a fire ecologist and Assistant Professor at Southern Oregon University.
Lenya Quinn-Davidson is the Fire Network Director for the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Aaron Krikava is an Organizer at the Rogue Valley Prescribed Burn Association.
