Wilder than Wild is a one-hour documentary that reveals how fire suppression and climate change have exposed Western landscapes to large, high intensity wildfires. The film goes on to explore strategies that are being developed to help mitigate the impact of these fires.

The screening at UC Davis TERC is part of a larger effort to engage communities in conversations about the future of wildfire. A panel featuring North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, US Forest Service, Washoe County Emergency Management, Washoe County Sherriff’s Office, Washoe County Search & Rescue and NV Energy will follow the screening.
