Webinar: Understanding Fire in the Forest
Wednesday, September 10th, 2025
Since time immemorial, our forests east of the Cascade Mountains experienced fire, in most cases very frequently, until fire suppression began in earnest in the early 1900’s. We’re now living at a confluence of consequence between fire suppression and climate change where fires are increasing in size and intensity, and wildfire season is expanding. Join us at noon on Wednesday September 10th to learn what Columbia Land Trust is doing to reverse these trends and invite good fire back into our forests and our lives – and how you can help.
What: A webinar exploring Columbia Land Trust’s work to return good fire to our forests.
When: Wednesday, September 10th
Where: Online, a virtual Zoom presentation
When: 12:00 – 1:00pm
Cost: Free
Speaker Lindsay Cornelius, East Cascades Oak Partnership Manager, will share learnings, fascinating facts, and photos from recent prescribed burns on conserved lands in the Northwest. You’ll see before and after photos from burns, hear about the return of native plants, and learn how good fire restores resilience to our forests and improves the health of wildlife and people throughout the Columbia River region.
