Please join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network for a special evening with naturalist, illustrator, and award-winning author Obi Kaufmann, sharing his timely book "The State of Fire, Why California Burns."
From the creator of The California Field Atlas, Obi Kaufmann shares a book of stewardship, resilience, and hope. Fire is an essential part of California’s ecology and humans have been using it to shape the California landscape for thousands of years. But today many Californians’ relationship to fire is primarily one of fear.
Obi Kaufmann now asks: How do we live with fire? What makes fire essential to a healthy and biodiverse Golden State, and how do we benefit from its teachings?
