An anthology and future website dedicated to telling the stories of the Butte Fire and its aftermath and providing insights into the nature of the beauty and risks of living in a Mother Lode and Sierra environment–as well as the resilience of communities in coping with tragedy. The website, when completed, will aim to provide a central resource for regional fire concerns and information, as well as narratives and lessons learned from fire experiences. We will strive to make it a healing resource for many of our mountain and foothill communities.
