That’s partly because climate change has made it harder for new trees to survive where the old trees would have thrived. Today on In The NoCo, we hear from a CSU researcher with a new strategy for how to regrow forests more quickly.

Researchers are studying which species are likely to survive — and where — as climate change makes it difficult or impossible for many forests to regrow.

This researcher says yes /podcast/inthenoco/2024-08-27/can-surviving-a-wildfire-actually-make-a-community-stronger-this-researcher-says-yes Wildfires on Colorado’s Front Range disrupt lives and damage property. But fires can also leave behind a stronger, more resilient community once the flames are out. Today on In The NoCo, we talk with a CU Boulder professor who studies how a natural disaster can forge new bonds among neighbors.
