The Missing Fires: A DVD Designed to Promote Understanding of Prescribed Fire Use By Darren McAvoy, Forestry Extension Associate |
||
 Wildland
managers across the United States are currently returning fire to
the landscape in an effort to restore an ecosystem process and to
reduce the escalating costs and impacts of wildfires. The American
public however, has a poor understanding of the policy of fire use,
and without public support mangers will have an increasingly difficult
time using fire. The Missing Fires is a 22-minute DVD presentation
that attempts to address this problem by increasing public awareness
and acceptance of wildland fire as a management tool and an ecosystem
process. It blends interviews with natural resource scientists and
professionals from several states and agencies with dramatic fire
footage and nationally recognized music to present an appealing and
effective message. |
