Can we find "win-wins" in a rapidly changing northern wildfire environment?
Can we find "win-wins" in a rapidly changing northern wildfire environment?
Imagine a winter trail system, berry picking hotspot, disc golf course, outdoor classroom, airstrip or community garden that also happens to be positioned to protect your community from wildfire risk. Sounds like a win-win, right? Our project combines scientific and Indigenous and local knowledge to map new local solutions to reduce fire risk that also meet other community needs and visions.
