Science on Tap with Marc Meyer- Burning Down the House: Are Wildfires Eliminating Wildlife Habitat in Sierra Nevada Forests?

This is a live recording of Marc Meyer’s presentation for Science on Tap at Main Street Pizza and Tap in Mammoth Lakes. Whitebark Institute was grateful to welcome Marc Meyer, an ecologist with the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Regional Ecology Program. This talk focused on how forest landscapes have undergone dramatic change over the past 150 years, leading to more severe wildfires that are impacting wildlife species. Marc shared insights from recent studies and discuss how forest restoration treatments can help promote resilient, diverse ecosystems.
