On this month's episode of "A Public Affair" with Community Foundation Boulder County, we learn about how Cal-Wood and surrounding lands are faring after the largest wildfire in Boulder County history last fall burned more than 10K acres and 26 structures. We also discuss what role climate change is playing in wildfire behavior, and what we as a community can do to prevent future forest fires as we head into the 2021 fire season. With guests Rafael Salgado, Executive Director of Cal-Wood Education Center, Jessie Olson, Executive Director, Left Hand Watershed Center, and Seth McKinney, Fire Management Officer, Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
