“Ruralization of Wildland Fire in the Pyrocene”
How do you resolve the need for more people to be involved in wildland fire in remote and rural places across our province and country? By collaborating and working with like-minded researchers, producers, wildland fire practitioners, and paradigm shifters to develop a program that both empowers and increases local capacity and resources to support provincial and territorial agencies as well as to support the application of good fire on the land. Join us in this dynamic presentation from the tip of the torch in the land of fire and ice!
