In this episode of Prairie Firelines, we step onto the fireline with Sam Gunn; an outdoor education specialist, four-time TREX participant, burn boss, and triathlete who is transforming how the next generation understands fire.
From burning alongside seasoned crews in Iowa to leading student groups in physically preparing fire guards, Sam shares how she successfully built a prescribed fire program from scratch and embedded it directly into the Saskatoon Public School Division. Working out of the Brightwater Science, Environmental and Indigenous Learning Centre, she offers a captivating look at how hands-on land stewardship and collaborations with Indigenous Elders help middle and high school students build a lifelong connection to the landscape.
