Thinking Beyond Fuel Reduction

We often view prescribed fire simply as an alternative to wildfire and as little more than a tool for fuel reduction. This panel discussed some of the benefits of controlled burns that go beyond that notion. We explored using "goodfire" for food production, supporting wildlife, and keeping soils healthy as well as what it takes to build a burn program from scratch.
