Embers of Insight: Ben Wheeler "A Tale of Two Fires"

Different fires in the same place can look, feel and behave differently. They can both be successful in different ways, ecologically and culturally. They can be received differently by practitioners and the larger community alike, and they can persist differently, giving hope to land productivity, conservation initiatives, and cultural practices. Ben will compare fire programs in the Great Plains, and share insights on how Nebraska PBAs build capacity, community support, and sustainability over the years. Ben's bio: As a private land wildlife biologist, Ben works closely with landowners, farmers, ranchers, and other community members to promote, coordinate, and deliver meaningful and healthy prescribed fire programs throughout central Nebraska grasslands. In addition to assisting with several area Prescribed Burn Associations, Ben co-founded and has coordinated the Loup TREX program since 2009. Ben is passionate about helping areas achieve their fire goals by engaging and empowering people to become an active part of their community’s fire story. He has shared his experience in Nebraska with several other areas around the U.S. that are looking to also develop successful and sustainable private land fire programs. - Embers of Insight is a webinar series jointly hosted by the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange in Canada and Great Plains Fire Science Exchange in the United States. This series is dedicated to delivering high-quality fire science education to fire practitioners around the world. We'd like to thank the Weston Family Prairie Grasslands Initiative for funding this webinar, and other CPPFE initiatives.
