Speaker: Kyle Martin, Kalamazoo Nature Center
Prescribed burns are a hot land management tool everybody’s talking about! Learn how land managers use fire to fight fire, restore native landscapes, and manage invasive species. This talk will also cover the history of fire, indigenous land management, the differences between prescribed fires and wildfires, and the special role fire plays in restoring healthy landscapes. Learn about native plants, wildlife, and ecosystems that depend on fire to thrive.
"Terra Talks" is a transformative lecture series and call to action for community engagement and environmental stewardship. Embrace the opportunity to transform your backyard and become a guardian of the environment. This educational series delves into the heart of land management and explores the delicate balance between human activity and ecological preservation.
