Why have wildfires gotten so severe lately? How can I help protect my home and community? Life With Fire podcast aims to answer these questions (and many others) while deepening our understanding of the critical role fire plays in America’s forests, lands and communities. Hosted by writer and former wildland firefighter Amanda Monthei, Life with Fire features interviews with everyone from scientists to fire management experts to Indigenous practitioners and folks doing the work on the ground. Through these interviews, Amanda hopes to explore our relationship with fire, as well as ways we can better coexist with it in the future.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999"},"episode":{"title":"Fire in the Southwest Ep. 4: The Shifting Role of the Forest Stewards Guild in an Era of Megafires, with Zander Evans","slug":"fire-in-the-southwest-ep-4-the-shifting-role-of-the-forest-stewards-guild-in-an-era-of-megafires-with-zander-evans","published_at":"2024-06-25T15:44:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999/fire-in-the-southwest-ep-4-the-shifting-role-of-the-forest-stewards-guild-in-an-era-of-megafires-with-zander-evans","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999","url":"https://lifewithfire.simplecast.com/episodes/fire-in-the-southwest-episode-4-the-shifting-role-of-the-forest-stewards-guild-in-an-era-of-megafires-with-zander-evans-jmCjP93_","audio_url":"https://chrt.fm/track/3G5CD6/cdn.simplecast.com/audio/e64b7a70-510f-4a3b-8b79-94ad9ae877d7/episodes/6bbec00f-07ea-4d76-9715-7ea51881ec50/audio/ad329478-b5c2-4f42-a9f3-9b09d11cba6c/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wMFLKTDa","summary":"Welcome to episode four of our Fire in the Southwest Series, supported by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium as well as the Arizona Wildfire Initiative! Today's guest, Zander Evans, is the executive director of the Forest Stewards Guild, which has a mission of promoting ecologically-, economically-, and socially-responsible forestry as a means of sustaining the integrity of forest ecosystems and the human communities dependent upon them. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Guild's team—including Zander, who has worked there for over 17 years—has seen the first-hand impacts of some of the most destructive wildfires of the last two decades, including the 2022 Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire. Zander and Amanda spoke about the role of the Forest Stewards Guild in helping provide more capacity for often resource-strapped agencies, as well as how their roles are shifting with the legacy and rise in megafires like the CC/HP Fire. We discussed the Guild's objective to connect work on the ground to policy, while creating a network of land stewards that can learn from each other and share resources, lessons learned and other critical information.","meta_description":"Welcome to episode four of our Fire in the Southwest Series, supported by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium as well as the Arizona Wildfire Initiative…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2747,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/life-with-fire-744999/episodes/fire-in-the-southwest-ep-4-the-shifting-role-of-the-forest-stewards-guild-in-an-era-of-megafires-with-zander-evans/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-with-fire-744999/fire-in-the-southwest-ep-4-the-shifting-role-of-the-forest-stewards-guild-in-an-era-of-megafires-with-zander-evans.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
