Western Watersheds Project Presents

Biologist, Photographer and Author George Wuerthner Speaking About:

"FIRE ECOLOGY: A CENTURY OF FAILED FOREST POLICY"

George Wuerthner, author of “Wild Fire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy” will speak at 7:00 P.M. Thursday February 22, 2007 at the NexStage Theater on Main Street in Ketchum. His book has received the acclaim of the former chief of the US Forest Service, Mike Dombeck. Admission is free.

George Wuerthner (http://www.wuerthnerphotography.com/) has published 33 books and hundreds of articles. Most of his books deal with natural history/environmental topics. His main interests revolve around predators, rangeland ecology, fire ecology and biogeography. He has worked for the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and Forest Service, and he has also worked as an independent conservation biologist, high school teacher, university instructor, professional photographer and most recently as the Ecological Projects Director for the Foundation for Deep Ecology.

George’s talk will be at the The NexStage Theater, Ketchum, Idaho, 120 South Main Street. Thursday, February 22, 7:00 PM. No charge.

George’s wildfire presentation will cover basic fire ecology in major ecosystems and how that influences fire behavior and consequences. He will cover the related issues such as factors contributing to wild lands and urban interface. He will also discuss issues that are a consequence of national fire policies such as forest thinning to reduce, salvage (post fire) logging and fire restoration efforts. There will be ample time for audience questions.
