Canyon Community Center Lecture:

On Saturday, March 31, 2012 at 7:00 Gary McClellan Bell, History Professor at Texas Tech University, will discuss the history of wildland fire in America, human responses to that natural phenomenon, with a particular focus on the twentieth century, and then an analysis of the hugely powerful and complex forces, including tremendous economic incentives, that almost guarantee a continued increase in wildland fire size and intensity, damage to natural and human property, and an increasing threat to human life.
