Ever wondered about prescribed fire? What makes fire such an effective land management tool, what ecosystems respond positively to fire, and how can the process be safe? Join us for this free event and get the answers to all your burning questions!
The Learn & Burn will begin at 11:00am, and is an open-house style event. Drop by to join in the following festivities:
• Live prescribed fire demonstration & interpretation
• Touch & learn with fire tools & gear
• Booths from local conservation organizations
• Door prizes for attendees

• And more!
The prescribed fire demonstration will ignite at 11:30am, and will run for approximately 1 hour. The demonstration burn will be conducted by LCWM’s staff and volunteer Burn Crew, and will take place on a 1-acre plot of prairie.
Please RSVP online for this event. In case of unfavorable burn weather, the event will be moved to the following Saturday, April 19th, 2025. Any changes to the event date will be sent via email to anyone registered online, as well as posted on all event and social media pages.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CERTIFICATION TRAINING. The Learn & Burn is purely educational. If you are interested in participating in prescribed burns or conducting burns on your own property, learn more by visiting the Michigan Prescribed Fire Council’s website. If you are interested in joining LCWM’s volunteer Burn Crew, you can train with us on March 4 (see LCWM's website for more information).
