‘Pepperwood: Rising from the Ashes’ delves into the story of Pepperwood’s experience with the devastating 2017 Tubbs Fire and 2019 Kincade Fire. The film artfully demonstrates how California’s local ecosystem rebounds and even flourishes after a wildfire. Staff members from Pepperwood, including scientists, researchers, and Indigenous educators explain the benefits of cultivating a natural fire regimen on the land to nourish the flora and fauna, and how this can help to keep the surrounding communities safer from future wildfire threats. Pepperwood is actively working to restore this practice, among other methods, to better steward the land for future generations.
About the Director:
Ian A Nelson is a wildlife and nature documentary filmmaker. Ian is a masterful visual storyteller with a unique talent for capturing the dynamics of the human-nature interface. His film, 'Pepperwood: Rising from the Ashes,' is an astounding testimony to the resilience of the natural world.

Chef Stephen Barber from Farmstead Long Meadow Ranch will be creating culinary Summer ‘bites’ to savor with the film using fresh organic ingredients grown locally at the LMR Culinary Farm. Long Meadow Ranch’s celebrated American farmhouse cuisine is rooted in the Hall family tradition of showcasing ingredients fresh from their farm, ranch, and vineyards.
