For millennia, the Karuk people in Northern California have used fire to actively manage forests.
@MurphyWoodhouse and @CulturalFire join us to discuss how the tribe is training others in this practice.

Deconstruction of Copco 1 Dam has begun!
Built in 1918 for the purpose of hydroelectric power generation, it has blocked fish passage for over 100 years. The dam is expected to be fully removed by the end of August 2024.

American forests might seem to be burning more frequently than ever. But a new book shows that the U.S. is actually operating at a severe fire deficit, writes @ben_a_goldfarb: theatlantic.com/books/archiv…

The effect of poor forest management, in pictures.
"Frequent wildland fires historically sustained open ponderosa pine forests, but a century of fire exclusion produced dense forests. Devastated by the enormous Hayman Fire in 2002, the forests never recovered. By 2020, the landscape was dominated by shrubs."

This glorification of the obsolescent fire exclusion paradigm is not helpful. Keeping all fires small merely shunts risks, costs, and impacts to the future when conditions will likely be harsher due to climate change. Time to play the long game with risk management.

Rather than just make Clean Air Act exceptional events determinations in CA, OR, WA, and states east, put good fire on the ground to reduce smoke exposure. This work is a first attempt at doing the good smoke-bad smoke comparison and it is very important. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

On Thursday, R2R celebrated #damremoval at Iron Gate Fish Hatchery. “I would like to thank all the water protectors for never giving up. There’s more work to do but this won’t be a fight we pass to our children. The salmon are coming home and the river will heal.”-@AmyCordalis – at Bertsch-Oceanview, CA
