California has been experiencing more intense, larger, and more destructive wildfires in the last five years. 1.3 million acres burned in just the 2021 Dixie, Beckwourth, and Caldor fires alone. These severe fires put lives and communities at risk, and threaten the benefits that healthy forests provide, such as clean and ample water, clean air, carbon storage, recreation, and wildlife habitat. What is causing this and what can we do about it? This panel discussion, featuring Eli Ilano, Forest Supervisor for the Tahoe National Forest, Dan Porter, Forest Strategy Lead with The Nature Conservancy and Willie Whittlesey, General Manager at Yuba Water Agency attempts to answer these questions and look at what communities can do collectively to help.
