Era of Megafires Tour

In May, 2017 Idaho Firewise is bringing Era of Megafires to Idaho.

Era of Megafires is a 70-minute, multimedia presentation hosted by Dr. Paul Hessburg, who has conducted fire and landscape ecology research for more than 27 years. The presented material comes in the form of fast-moving, short, topic-based talks interspersed with compelling video vignettes and features the work of wildfire photographer, John Marshall. Think Ted X mixed with snappy documentary shorts and compelling photography. The videos are produced by award-winning documentary film company, North 40 Productions, of Wenatchee, WA.

The presentation is designed to educate audiences across the West so that they may better participate in the conversation and solutions surrounding wildfires.

Additional Supporters of these events include: Idaho Bureau of Land Management, the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network, University of Idaho Extension Forestry, Idaho Department of Lands, Idaho State Parks, the Valley County Fire Working Group, the Nez Perce Tribe, Mid-Snake RC&D, Boise Fire Department.
