California Burning takes a critical look at how the state’s fire-prone forests have been managed and examines how we can all be better stewards of the land and avoid catastrophic wildfires in the future. Produced by North State Public Radio.
Klamath River, a part of the Yurok Reservation.
Matt Fidler
Native Californians used fire to maintain the forests that surrounded them for more than 14,000 years. This prevented future wildfires and supported many plants and animals that need fire to thrive. On the second episode of California Burning, Matt shadows a pyrogeographer and learns how the Yurok Tribe on the Klamath River and the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Santa Cruz are bringing fire back to the land.
Featuring President of the Cultural Fire Managment Council, Margo Robbins; Chico State Professor of Pyrogeography, Don Hankins; and Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, Valentin Lopez.
