Reframing Fire

On October 9th we hosted a conversation on “Reframing Fire.” In our community, we know that fire can be either a tool or a tragedy, and we want to transform fear into proactive stewardship. This topic is full of nuance and couldn’t be more timely in the wake of the devastating wildfires raging across the West. We wove together a small group of folks that have either been harmed by it, are trying to stop it, or are learning to use it better, and it was a barn-burner of a lineup. Renowned agro-ecologist Nicole Masters led a riveting conversation exploring the wisdom of Glenn Elzinga of Alderspring Ranch (Idaho), Charles Massy (Australia), and the youth of Brittany Cole Bush (California), a grazier seeking to be a part of the solution. This conversation was originally posted on Facebook Live, so for those of you who prefer to listen rather than watch we now made it available as a podcast.
