Free
Join us at the Highlands Center for Natural History during the month of October for an educational miniseries featuring the Prescott National Forest.
Meeting on Thursday’s 10/26 at 9am at the Equipoise statue. Presentations from Prescott National Forest officials will be held between 9:30am-11:30am. We will wrap up the day with a Q & A session, plus coffee, tea and donuts.
Topic: Smoke and Wind
Theme: NE Raven (air/drought/climate)
In this final session of the miniseries, we will learn about how wind direction and intensity affects fires. We will also look at the impacts of smoke and how fires affect air quality.
Through this program participants will be able to understand the basics of fire ecology, apply this knowledge towards supporting and creating defensible spaces in our communities, connect with and build relationships with our local officials representing USFS and Prescott National Forest, and identify resources in our community for assistance and information.
