ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Jasmine Baerg and Nancy Moundalexis both worked as USFS Resource Advisors on the West Zone of the Wilderness during an active 2026 wildfire season. In this interview we learn more about the work that Resource Advisors do in the field to help train and assist firefighting crews, which sometimes includes teaching firefighters how to paddle canoes and locate campsites in the Wilderness. Working alongside firefighting crews, the role of a Resource Advisor is to help lessen the long-term impacts of wildfire-supression efforts in ecologically sensitive areas like the BWCAW.
