Description

Is there a relationship between forest fire scars, floods and debris flows? This episode will explore  landscapes denuded by fire and these massive storms creating floods in the fire scar zone. Is this a normal pattern? A new pattern? Coincidence? And how does understanding this correlation further our relationship with these changing landscapes? This episode explores these questions and more through the tools of western science, personal narrative, and traditional ecological knowledge.SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan  Dealers Website & InstagramWholesum Website & Instagram & Facebook GUESTSBryan Maddox, author of A User’s Guide to the Wild and Scenic Cache La Poudre RiverCamille Stevens-Rumann and Allison Rhea from the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute James Calabasa from Trees Water and PeopleShayna Jones (at the time of recording) Megan Maiolo-Heath from the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed SUPPORTING INPUTDavid LaskyRob AddingtonKara Dohrenwend of Rim to Rim Restoration Daniel Lay from the US forest service ADDITIONAL RESOURCESNorthern Colorado Fireshed Wildfire Risk AssessmentVideo on the recent floods in Moab, UTArticle : Prioritizing Fuels Reduction for Water Supply ProtectionArticle : Fires Behave Differently in Different Forest Types
