Today on NOW and NEXT:
Canada has just experienced one of the most intense forest and wild fire seasons on record. By some counts, wildfires were the number one source of carbon emissions in Canada.
Today, we feature - The Force of Fire - an episode from our Story Studio Network podcast, Canadian Forestry Can Save the World, originally published January 31, 2023.
You’ve heard of fighting fire with fire? In many ways that’s what’s happening in our forests. Fire has long been a natural part of the forest lifecycle, and our foresters respect that, using both it, and innovative harvesting techniques, to reduce the likelihood that a more catastrophic wildfire breaks out.
In this episode, we talk with Amy Cardinal Christianson about how prescribed burns have long been part of traditional forest management practices while Paul LeBlanc, a district forester from Manitoba, tells us how those practices have been adapted into modern forestry techniques. We speak with Landon Shepherd about the natural role of fire in a forest’s lifecycle while Steve Kozuki sheds light on how a cartoon bear shifted forestry practices and policy away from harnessing this natural force for an entire generation.
