Fire is no longer the problem. It’s part of the solution. We're learning from tribal & indigenous fire traditions as we restore the balance between humans and nature. https://t.co/12EuVPJ1kB

“They made a bulldozer line up the hill on my grandfather’s place, up where I walk and gather, and took out a beautiful oak tree and a conifer tree. They dozed those trees down when they didn’t need to. They already had a bulldozer trail up the mountain; they didn’t need another”
Yesterday marks the first successful engagement in broadcasting prescribed fire among #KlamathTREX21 participants and the USFS on the Somes Bar Integrated Wildland Fire Management Project. Great work learning to live with wildland fire everyone…
Newsom just signed SB332, making CA a gross negligence state for suppression costs associated with #rxfire and giving cultural burners the same standing as burn bosses. This is a huge moment for CA and I’m so proud to have worked on it with @MichaelWWara & @SenBillDodd! 🎉❤️🔥
In a lovely moment of reflection, @DeanBradfordMD from @OSUWexMed@OhioStateMed gives the @AAOHNS Presidential citation to her husband, Engr. David Bradford who has been an essential rock for her and a supporter of her leadership rise since medical school. #HeForShe
I’m excited to announce the “#Indigenous Resilience Center,” a vision I had since I started this academic journey, a reality with @UArizona. It is critical #Native Nations drive research questions based on their priorities & long-standing local knowledge. https://t.co/cjEJCvljYH

I know the wildfire this year have been devastating to communities in California however the fire burning on the lower half of the Klamath Basin have absolutely without a doubt saved our fishery so far this year. The inversion layer created by these fires have kept the river cool
