Community Learning Program: Wildfires at Michaux State Forest

Buttonwood Nature Center welcomes guest speakers from the Bureau of Forestry’s Michaux State Forest as we talk about fire, covering everything from wildfires and their prevention to the benefits of prescribed fire and how it can be utilized to improve forest and ecosystem health.
