Den Latham lived in Hartsville from 1989 until 2012. He now lives in Clemson with his wife and 2 sons. His new book is Painting Landscapes with Fire: Longleaf Pines and Fire Ecology.
Fire can be a destructive, deadly element of nature, capable of obliterating forests, destroying homes, and taking lives. Painting the Landscape with Fire describes this phenomenon but also tells a different story, one that reveals the role of fire ecology in healthy, dynamic forests. Throughout, Latham beautifully tells the story of the resilience of these woodlands and of the resourcefulness of those who work to see them thrive. Fire is destructive in the case of accidents, arson, or poor policy, but with the right precautions and safety measures, it is the glowing life force that these forests need.
