The West is Burning

PROJECT

The West is Burning

A campaign raising awareness about the conditions of forests in the western U.S. Told through a full-feature documentary, we examine the history of forest management and litigation that led to the current conditions which are causing catastrophic fire nearly year-round. The film explores the urgent need to act now, and the potential to generate positive change in our forests, watersheds, and communities, both rural and urban.

 

Watch now on Water Bear.

 

We need to embrace a new era of forest stewardship using all of our management tools including thinning, prescribed fire and managed wildfire.

Melanie Parker, Deputy Director, Sonoma County Regional Parks
