Natural History Wanderings

Join Los Padres ForestWatch and special guest Dr. Chad Hanson, forest and fire ecologist with the John Muir Project of Earth Island Institute and author of the new book Smokescreen: Debunking Wildfire Myths to Save Our Forests and Our Climate (available for purchase at our online store), for an evening to discuss wildfire in California.

Tune in to hear Dr. Hanson—who has also authored dozens of peer-reviewed scientific articles over the past 15 years—talk about many of the biggest misconceptions surrounding forest fires in the West. This is a great chance to not only learn about the importance of different types of fire in California’s varied forest ecosystems but also have your burning questions answered by a scientist at the forefront of wildfire research.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Registration is required to receive a link to the live webinar.
