EMPIRE-SAUK: FIRE EFFECTS AT PLEASURE VALLEY CONSERVANCY TOUR
Fire Effects at Pleasure Valley Conservancy Tour
Wednesday, July 22 – 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Location: Pleasure Valley Conservancy, WI
Join us for a tour of Pleasure Valley Conservancy. This 213-acre site contains oak savanna and woodland that have been managed with fire for over 20 years. We will observe the effects of long-term prescribed fire and other management and have an opportunity to observe the many plant and wildlife species that depend on increasingly rare, fire-adapted oak habitats.
Our tour will take us on an approximately one-mile hike on established trails with a few steep portions.
This event is occurring in conjunction with the Northeast-Midwest Prescribed Fire Science and Management Workshop.
Registration is limited to 20 people (no charge). Please RSVP thorough the workshop registration page using THIS LINK. Registration closes at 5:00 PM on July 7. (Contact Rob after the registration closes if you are interested after the window closes.)
