The West Will Burn

Noted: That article led me to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose Forest and Wildlife Ecology Lab has been studying wildland-urban interface. One of the lab’s research papers defines that term: “The wildland–urban interface (WUI) is the area where houses meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland vegetation. The WUI is thus a focal area for human–environment conflicts, such as the destruction of homes by wildfires.”
