Presentation: Thursday October 23rd, 7 pm at Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum
Fieldtrip: Sunday October 26th – 1-4 pm at Gateway Trails (Caravan from museum leaves at 1:15pm)
Join the Mount Shasta Sisson Museum and Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center (MSBEC) for a presentation on California’s Fire Ecology from an explorer and artist’s lens. Pyroscapes is the creative exploration of the fire landscape in Californian ecosystems, created by local artist and scientist, Cody Markelz. The project is part science, part data visualization, part art, and part personal story.
Pyroscapes are dynamic across time, space, and governmental jurisdictions. If you are a resident in California, you live in an active pyroscape. Let’s talk about building a resilient pyro-culture to live alongside wildfire. In addition to a lecture, Cody will provide mini-illustrated zines discussing fire ecology principles. These mini-zines will be used as portable lecture notes for the field trip visiting an area that was recently burned. Cody will teach nature journaling observational skills in and around the burn area focusing on the fire history of that specific piece of ground. Registration is required to attend: https://mountshastaecology.org/upcoming-community-events-2/
