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 10/19, 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: Resource Management
Theme: NW Badger (people/plants/animals)
This session will focus on how prescribed burns impact the soil. We will discuss flash floods, erosion, and the adaptations of terrestrial plants and wildlife.
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.
