You can’t talk about wildland fire without talking about land. In this episode, we sit down with TJ Clifford, Diane Mastin Dixon, Casey Cheesbrough, and Lance Okeson to break down how fuels management works—and why it’s a cornerstone of BLM’s approach to reducing wildfire severity. From planning and partnerships to boots-on-the-ground treatments, this conversation highlights how managing vegetation today can change the trajectory of tomorrow’s fires.
