At BurnBot, prescribed fire and wildfire mitigation is at the core of our mission, our team, and the landscapes & communities impacted by destructive wildfires… Our tech and our team is out there reducing wildfire risks, one prescribed fire and fuels treatment at a time! As featured in @Bloomberg by @Coco Liu, we're proving that sometimes, the safest way forward is to fight fire with fire. Catch the full story here: https://lnkd.in/grRPekRj Thank you for the wonderful article Coco Liu! 🙏

Former Chief Deputy Director & Gov Appointee at CAL FIRE // Working to achieve communities and landscapes resilient to wildfire
Those working for wildland firefighting agencies understand leaving the security of public service is not a decision taken lightly. There is risk in making that decision. As one BurnBot, Inc. employee explained, working in fire at a national level became a negative feedback loop of low pay, chasing overtime to make ends meet, missing family, broken relationships, and a suppression versus prevention focus due to longer fire seasons contributing to fire prone landscapes and larger fires- I found it hard to argue against that logic. I was surprised to meet so many former wildland firefighters on the BurnBot team in forestry operations, one all the way from Australia, and all of whom were committed to seeking different wildfire outcomes. One of my former colleagues pointed out BurnBot has assembled a Type I team for a Type I challenge. In all my years working in this space I have never seen such precise forestry operations or results. Nor did I fully appreciate the concept of how a 'technology stack' can result in more efficient and effective forest health treatments until I saw BurnBot's operation in Amador County- I encourage you to see it for yourself. Other take aways 1. Current contracting procedures don’t envision technology stacks in forest health treatments. They tend to be siloed into individual activities rather than integrated. 2 If we continue to deploy legacy systems and thought processes to address the exponential growth of the wildfire crisis, we should expect to experience the same outcomes; which I believe we all agree are not acceptable. 3. There is a growing movement of individuals choosing to bring their experiences, mindset, and mission driven approach used to combat wildfires, to bend the curve and transform landscapes before fire strikes. It is inspiring. We are at a crossroads. One fork takes us down the known, the comfortable. The other takes us towards a future where what was once perceived as impossible is now possible. There is urgency to our decision and time is not on our side; there will be uncomfortable, disruptive moments to move much needed innovations forward. I am thankful for the time, talent and resources being brought to bear on the wildfire crisis from such a diverse group of individuals, fire agencies, philanthropic organizations, venture capitalists, academia, entrepreneurs, NGO’s, and tribes.

110% facts - There is no "silver bullet" for returning good fire to the lands... However, we intend to help enable as many acres as possible to get those acres back into a state where they are "ready" for the implementation of good fire!
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to returning good fire to the land. The unique characteristics and conditions of each ecosystem require tailored, adaptive approaches to be successful. That’s where active stewardship comes in, providing a path for sustainable management and care of land, ecosystems, and natural resources. The second in a two-part series, a unique StoryMap created by Prescribed Fire Information Coordinator Erika Lutz, Fire Ecologist Brian Peterson, and others on the Fire Forward team offers compelling photography, videography, and interactive maps to demonstrate different adaptive stewardship techniques the team has carried out over the last five years to restore coastal prairies at Martin Griffin Preserve. Fire Forward, a program of Audubon Canyon Ranch, is building science-based prescribed burn capacity and supporting community development, training, and leadership for cooperative burning. The program is currently using prescribed burns to return fire to the land at Martin Griffin Preserve, a 1,000-acre preserve in West Marin. From conducting the preserve’s first prescribed burn in over 100 years to leveraging emerging fire technology like BurnBot, Inc., Audubon Canyon Ranch and its partners are experimenting with different stewardship techniques to restore coastal grasslands by returning good fire to the land. “The act of untangling will mean taking notes from the past, noticing what's happening in present, and envisioning the future. From there, we can actively adapt our stewardship to tend the future we want,” writes Lutz & Peterson.

We loved being able to come to Tahoe and being able to do some hazardous fuels reduction work! Thanks!!! Amy Berry
WILDFIRE & TECH - Today I got to see and report on a live demonstration of BurnBot, Inc.'s remote-controlled land mastication tool clearing out dry debris in an Incline Village neighborhood. The machine is just one of their tools designed to help reduce the risk of wildfire and it could potentially be coming to the Tahoe-Truckee region soon. This news report was shot, edited, and written by myself in a single work day: https://lnkd.in/g4uiMCZp If you're interested in investing in innovative ideas to protect Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Fund has implemented a philanthropic venture capital fund called the Smartest Forest Fund: https://lnkd.in/g3QK7vXM North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Amy Berry Simon Weibel Anukool Lakhina

Today we highlight the profound connection between the Hoopa Valley people and their ancestral land management practices in this mini doc and delve into the essential role of controlled burning and forest stewardship in preventing catastrophic wildfires and sustaining cultural traditions in Hoopa Valley. This transformative partnership between the Hoopa People, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and BurnBot, Inc. is one example of how technology and philanthropy unite with traditional wisdom to rejuvenate 60 acres of Hoopa Valley land through sustainable land management, allowing for the safe reintroduction of cultural burning practices and prescribed fire. We are absolutely honored to be a part of this project to assist with the reintroduction of cultural fire in such an important place! Thank you!
