A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dinyar Minocher has always been fascinated by both nature and fire--from the kind that burns marshmallows to the kind that helps ecosystems flourish! His adventures in fire began as a wildland firefighter in the beautiful forests of Alberta. Later, Dinyar joined Parks Canada, where he served as a firefighter and then as the Visitor Safety & Fire Operations Coordinator at Grasslands National Park. Today, Dinyar is a founding member and the Prescribed Fire Coordinator for the Canadian Prairies Prescribed Fire Exchange. This organization brings together communities, agencies, and land managers to safely use fire as a tool to protect and nurture the land.

With a master's degree in resource management and experience as a field biologist, Dinyar has embraced many exciting roles. When he's not on the fireline, Dinyar enjoys tinkering in his woodshop, exploring the great outdoors with his family, and taking long walks with his dog, Cooper.
