At times it feels like all of California is burning. News of wildfires reach us daily describing fires that are larger and fiercer than those of the past. Lives are lost, homes are lost, and entire communities displaced. People living outside of fire prone areas also live with wildfire’s effects- orange skies mask the daylight as smoke blankets towns hundreds, even thousands, of miles away. Watersheds, once protected by shade trees, are left exposed, potentially affecting the water supply for millions of Californians.
