Hessburg is with the Pacific Northwest Research Station in Wenatchee and the U of WA, where he has researched wildfire and landscape ecology for more than 27 years. The presented material comes in the form of fast-moving, short, topic-based talks interspersed with video vignettes. Discussion to follow. Admission is free.
