Fire Ecology: The Final Issue 

This special issue of ART PAPERS is the synthesis and culmination of a three-year project, initiated in response to fatal budget shortfalls, to extend the life of the organization for a period that would allow for a dignified end. The plan, inspired by Indigenous practices of ecological stewardship through intentional burning, took up the metaphor of Fire Ecology, the practice of maintaining ecosystem health by using fire to burn old growth, thereby fertilizing the soil and allowing new growth to thrive.
