Wildfire: Friend or Foe?
Event Description
Throughout history, foresters have had an interesting relationship with wildfires as they learned more about their ecological impact. More than a destructive force, fires promote growth and revitalization. Ignite your curiosity and join us for this historical narrative of the old fire tower system and how nature recovers. Bring all your burning questions! Meet at Palo Verde Ramada.
