Embers of Insight: Ben Wheeler “A Tale of Two Fires”

Different fires in the same place can look, feel and behave differently. They can both be successful in different ways, ecologically and culturally. They can be received differently by practitioners and the larger community alike, and they can persist differently, giving hope to land productivity, conservation initiatives, and cultural practices. Ben will compare fire programs in the Great Plains, and share insights on how Nebraska PBAs build capacity, community support, and sustainability over the years. Embers of Insight is a webinar series jointly hosted by the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange in Canada and Great Plains Fire Science Exchange in the United States. This series is dedicated to delivering high-quality fire science education to fire practitioners around the world.
