Description
Wildfire is a natural process that takes place in forests and grasslands all over the world. In dry conditions, a single spark can rapidly transform into flames that stretch for miles and sweep across the landscape, burning away everything in their path. Although commonly seen as destructive and deadly, fire is a necessary part of ecosystems; they refresh the land and allow for new plant growth. Environmental scientist Ferin Davis Anderson and author Stephanie Sammartino McPherson examine how Indigenous people, farmers, and forestry departments have used fire to manage resources; why climate change is impacting the frequency and intensity of wildfires; and what the future of fire might look like.

An excellent comprehensive look at fire, its history and dangers, and how it holds the potential to heal or harm our forests, grasslands, and bush lands. Clearly written with headings, pictures, and captions that enhance the text, this could be used for research or as a comprehensive read for those dedicated to the topic. Includes a timeline, glossary, sources, and an index. Great for middle school collections.
