Alex Craven will discuss “Forests and Fire: How did we get here? Where do we go?”

In our present moment, we can look back at more than a century of mismanagement of our federal forests,  while also facing an uncertain climate future. At the same time, administrative changes and misguided legislation take us in the wrong direction.

The question for us to answer now is: how do we conserve old-growth forests, restore the right relationship between fires and forests, and ensure communities are protected and prepared? This presentation will discuss those questions and a path to achieving our objectives.

Alex Craven is Sierra Club’s Forest Campaign Manager. He advances strong conservation policies for forested public lands overseen by the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management through grassroots organizing, partnership development, and advocacy. Alex spent roughly a decade in the evergreen ecosystems of the pacific northwest before returning to the northeastern hardwoods in his home state of Vermont. Prior to his time with Sierra Club, Alex worked in the US Senate on a portfolio that ranged from housing to higher education.

We hope to see you there.
