Gary Ferguson on Wildfire, Climate Change, and Land on Fire

In June 2017, I spoke with the prolific author and naturalist Gary Ferguson about his book Land on Fire, which examines the science, politics, and human cost of the megafire era in the American West. Ferguson is one of the most thoughtful voices writing about nature and the West today, and this wide-ranging conversation covers everything from firefighter instinct to carbon storage to what we can actually do about it.

Book Review: Land on Fire by Gary Ferguson

Gary Ferguson's Land on Fire trades his usual lyrical style for an informational approach, shedding light on how a century of fire suppression, climate change, and explosive development in the wildland-urban interface have set the American West on a collision course with increasingly destructive megafires. A compelling and necessary read for anyone who lives in, travels through, or cares about Western lands.
