Photo by @kiliiiyuyan / Not all fire is terrible and destructive. From what the Karuk and Yurok people of Northern California tell me, 100 years of fire suppression in the US has made Americans afraid of fire. Yet even today, the tribes of NorCal practice ‘good fire’, which is generally low-intensity prescribed burning, making the landscape more suitable for acorn-bearing oaks, deer, and even salmon. At the same time it removes all the hundred years of unburnt fuel waiting to turn into the next raging wildfire.

Jason Reed, a Karuk tribal member, does a cultural burn near Somes Bar, CA, using his traditional knowledge of conditions to aid fire-resistant species like this oak, while taking out young firs that would eventually shade them out. His family has been practicing fire since the last ice age, meaning that enormous swaths of California have been managed by fire for over 13,000 years.
