Fireside Chat with Prickly Pear Land Trust: This is Wildfire

In April, MTBC collaborates with PPLT and authors Nick Mott and Justin Angle to discuss a topic important to all: fire resiliency. Mott and Angle's book This is Wildfire: How to Protect Yourself, Your Home, and Your Community in the Age of Heat, a finalist for the Western Writers of the West Spur Award.

The first of its kind, This Is Wildfire is required reading for our new reality. It offers everything you need to know about fire in one useful volume: reflects on the history of humanity’s connection to flames; analyzes how our society arrived at this perilous moment; and recounts stories of those fighting fire and trying to change our relationship with it. It also offers practical advice: choosing your insurance and making your home resilient to burns; packing an emergency go-bag; rebuilding after a fire; and so much more.

Fireside Chats are free community events with Prickly Pear Land Trust that blend expert insights with community participation, creating a space where learning thrives and people are inspired to enjoy and protect the places they treasure!
