What if the biggest threat to the landscape after a wildfire isn't the fire itself?

When the flames are gone, a new battle often begins. Burned areas can become prime targets for invasive plants and noxious weeds, creating a cycle that makes future wildfires more likely and recovery more difficult.

In Episode 2 of the Pull Together, Stop the Spread Podcast, host Colter Brown sits down with Dr. Jane Mangold, with MSU Extension Professor of Invasive and Noxious Weed Management at Montana State University, and Jaycie Arndt, IMAGINE Coordinator and Assistant Research Scientist at University of Wyoming, to discuss why burned landscapes are especially vulnerable to weed invasion, how wildfire and invasive species are reshaping landscapes and what landowners and communities can do to help break the cycle.
