“The rancheria has used fire in the past to keep the forest healthy. Kipp says they rely on acorns for some food and grasses for traditional basket material. But the Creek Fire is not the same. ‘The whole footprint of @Sierra_NF is just being devastated.’” https://www.kvpr.org/post/i-want-make-sure-my-community-informed-serving-big-sandy-rancheria-fire

Big Sandy Rancheria is a member of the Sierra Sequoia Burn Cooperative. I’m looking forward to working with Liz Kipp and getting back out to do something good after the #CreekFire is over. @KVPR @LauraTsutsui @Riki_Kiki_Taco

Looking back on this thread from a couple of years ago, I’m going to let myself think, yes, we really could be onto something. We may find silver linings for the burn coop, in the form of strengthened community bonds and resolve, in the wake of this big fire’s pyrocumulus cloud. https://twitter.com/jareddahlaldern/status/1068532601600659456
