Sequoia Parks Conservancy is excited to announce their upcoming virtual speaker event, Giant Conversations: Fire and Giant Sequoias in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This timely discussion will feature three experts with a wide range of knowledge about giant sequoias, wildfire, fire ecology, the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the recent catastrophic fires in this central region of California.
