Wilder Than Wild: Fire, Forests and the Future – SSCRA was the first organization to bring a screening of this award-winning documentary to Lake County, and the first presenter in the country to organize a pre-event reception for county and nonprofit agencies in association with the occasion as well as the usual post-event discussion panel. Attendees learned about some of the science associated with the catastrophic wildfires that have characterized the California landscape in the past decade, how indigenous peoples successfully and safely stewarded the land for millennia, and how communities must become more proactive in ensuring their own safety.
