Sam Prentice | The Giant Sequoia Mortician

Sam Prentice | The Giant Sequoia Mortician

As wildfires become more common and powerful, the Giant Sequoias of the American West are burning at alarming rates. These enormous beings stand at a few hundred feet in height and a hundred feet in diameter.

Due to climate change and 100 years of human mismanagement, the forests where these Sequoias live are being lost to wildfire.

In this episode, Kris sits down with Sam Prentice, District Hydrologist for the USDA Forest Service, to speak about how wildfires are impacting our Giant Sequoia groves, the surrounding communities, and what we can do about it.

This episode also dives into our history of fire management, or mismanagement, in the United States, and how current government bodies and nonprofits are not on the same page for a mitigation plan.
