New Permanent Immersive Experience

NOW OPEN

What to Expect

Through three rotating 7-minute films, visitors will explore the cyclical relationship between Wildfire, Climate, and Forests. Featuring captivating stories and backed by research, visitors will learn the importance of supporting forest management as a key lever in wildfire mitigation and climate change adaptation. Finally, visitors will leave with steps on how to take action for the sake of our forests and our society.

The Choices we make today…

The decisions we make now will shape the forests, wildfires, and climate of the future. Today, megafires are growing more intense, fueled by rising temperatures and stressed forests. But with smart stewardship, forests can be part of the solution—absorbing carbon, reducing fire risk, and protecting communities.

Here are five shifts in thinking—and the actions that go with them—that can help move us toward healthier forests and resilient communities:

1. Management is a form of care. Active management means taking informed actions—like thinning, prescribed burning, and replanting—to help forests and society adapt to present and future environmental conditions.
2. Fire belongs here. Not all fire is bad. Many forests have long depended on it. It’s the extreme, high-intensity fires that cause harm.
3. This is everyone’s job. Forest management isn’t just a government or science issue; it is a collective responsibility. Progress depends on strong partnerships between public agencies, private landowners, tribes, industry, and everyday people.
4. Climate careers are the future. Today’s forest workers are climate problem solvers. They learn how to use science, technology, and Indigenous knowledge to build a better future.
5. Resilience is intentional. What we think of as natural is often the result of human decisions. The goal isn’t to return to the past but to act intentionally, using knowledge and care to help shape forests that can survive, adapt, and thrive under new conditions
