This week... fire! Artemis is joined by Jaidyn Hranicka in Wisconsin, who works as a prescribed burn specialist. Wisconsin has a multitude of different ecosystems -- deep dark woods brush up against prairie-like oak savannas. Jaidyn talks to us about what it's like to work in the fire industry. Plus: Turkey misses, brook trout, and trail baloney.

7:00 Fishing for native brook trout in small streams

8:00 Reintroducing fire to oak savannas

22:00 The effect of Rx burn on wetlands

25:00 The nuts and bolts of a day of prescribed burning
