All Things Botanically Related: Restoring Land with Fire, by Don Hankins

Fire is an integral process in many California Ecosystems which have largely been shaped through Indigenous fire stewardship. The departure from active landscape burning resulting from land use changes, policy, and other factors has made these systems vulnerable. Restoring fire to maintain ecosystem health and other benefits is critical, but obtaining desired outcomes is nuanced. This presentation will illustrate the interconnected nature of Indigenous knowledge to shape ecocultural relationships through fire stewardship to restore ecosystems and enhance climate and social resilience.
