I was lucky to recently visit The Nature Conservancy in Oregon's Sycan Marsh Preserve, which has become a "living laboratory" for prescribed fire work after a wildfire burned nearly 15,000 acres of land in 2021. Now, along with partners at the U.S. Forest Service and the Klamath Tribes, conservationists are finding best practices for forest management to prevent and withstand wildfires. Read more in this Forbes piece from TNC Global Board Chair Bill Frist, M.D.
Today in Forbes, I share how prescribed burns can make a dramatic difference in suppressing and preventing wildfires. One only needs to look at the Sycan Marsh Preserve in central Oregon to understand the impact: https://lnkd.in/eissGAwJ The Nature Conservancy #prescribedburns #conservation #wildfire

When they suffer due to development or agriculture, the entire ecosystem suffers. Learn how TNC Oregon is working to restore these dynamic habitats that are disappearing from the Oregon Coast. https://nature.ly/3SclgDs
