In this episode, we speak with Devyn Friedfel, Pepperwood’s Fire and Stewardship Manager and a California-certified Burn Boss, about the history of fire in California and the importance of using fire as a key part of land stewardship in this fire-adapted region of Northern California. We will focus on a practice known as "pile burning." This beneficial fire management technique involves burning piles of forest debris to reduce the risk of wildfires.
If you're interested in learning more about this form of stewardship, Pepperwood is an excellent resource for gaining knowledge and practical hands-on experience. Visit our Stewardship page to learn more about ways to get involved in person.
