Lassen Volcanic National Park

Host Dave Schlom and producer Matt Fidler were the first two journalists allowed into Lassen Volcanic National Park after the Dixie Fire, the largest single fire in California history, burned through a large swath of the park in August 2021.

Right before the park reopened to the public, the host of NSPR’s science show Blue Dot, Dave Schlom, visited the park to find out how things have changed. He joined NSPR’s Senior News Editor, Adia White, and spoke about what people can expect when they visit.
