Explore how fire functioned historically in the Sierra Nevada and how it works today. Compare how the effects of fire on natural communities in areas where fire has been restored as a natural process differ from areas where fire has been suppressed. The workshop will be grounded in fire physics, fire history studies, and modern fire effects studies.
