Wildfires in Utah and the West have been top of mind for years with 2020 being a record year for human caused fires. The problem being there is a lot of fuel in the forests. Mitigation seems to be the best practice to avoiding catastrophic wildfire. We will discuss how tackling larger projects among multiple agencies has become a more efficient use of resources as the scope of projects is expanded.

Guests:
Scott Dalton, Piute County Commissioner
Mary Farnsworth, Regional Forester, Intermountain Region USFS
Brian Cottam, Director, Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands | Utah State Forester

ABOUT THE COUNTY SEAT: The County Seat is a public affairs program about the functions and issues of county elected officials and county government in UTAH. The County Seat is designed to provide the essentials to being an informed and engaged citizens in what we view as the most important level of government to daily life, county government. Topics range from the life of a ballot to the wild horses on public lands. The majority of Utah’s 29 counties are rural with a concentration of urban issues along the Wasatch Front. This dynamic lends an interesting twist to the show where we highlight a number of rural issues that the majority of Utahns may not be as familiar with. #CountiesMatter #CoutySeatS10E24
