What started as a podcast produced by the Northern Research Station focusing on forest research within the Northeast and Midwest has now expanded to cover a wide range of topics from across the USDA Forest Service Research and Development branch. In each episode you'll hear stories, interviews, and special in-depth anthologies of the research that is studying, questioning, and solving some of today's most compelling issues.

Forestcast Season 4 (NEW!)

In this new season of Forestcast we will explore the knowns and unknowns of one of the most complex elements in nature - fire.  Each episode will follow a variety of voices as they "burn" into one another - their science, stories and projects burning together, backing away, flanking into new directions - like a fire. At times, voices will flow together and connect, and at others, interrupt and contradict. It is this contradictory nature that defines fire.  

Season 4 of Forestcast will convey the complexity of fire and fire research episode by episode, slowly building into a blaze of understanding the research working today to help reduce the negative impacts of fire while enhancing its beneficial effects for society and the environment.
