Discover the secrets of revolutionary forest management with Brian Huberty, a seasoned expert whose career spans from firefighting to pioneering digital mapping systems that monitor our planet’s landscapes.

Brian unpacks how the Minnesota Forestry Association boosts forest management, fire safety, and carbon storage. We compare family forest ownership in Minnesota to international standards, especially Finland.

Wildfire management takes center stage as we explore the factors behind increased wildfire risks. We'll see how different forest types respond to fires and the crucial role of detailed forest inventory maps. Brian explains why increased wildfires demand better coordination and resources.
