Dr. Chad Hanson, research ecologist with the John Muir Project, will revisit the topic of the relationship between giant sequoias and high-intensity fire. Currently, disinformation about this relationship is being used as a primary political talking point to promote destructive logging measures and environmental rollbacks, including national bills and policies that mostly pertain to non-sequoia forests. A group of scientists funded by federal agencies is actively promoting the disinformation that is helping Donald Trump and the current Congress advance their logging agenda. Dr. Hanson will dispel the latest round of myths and falsehoods about high-intensity fire in giant sequoia groves.
