Summary

Today, Matthew Trumm of Treetop Permaculture joins me to discuss mega fires and real solutions. We’ll cover how poor forest management, like leaving debris behind, creates tinderboxes, and how turning it into biochar or using prescribed burns could help. Matthew will share insights on using earthworks, small ponds, and hydrated landscapes to reduce fire risks, even in dry areas. Plus, we’ll explore land restoration after fires and why practical solutions matter more than political blame. Don’t miss this one!
