Why We Burn

Sugar Creek Administration Center • 17540 W. Laraway Road JolietIL  60433 Organized by Forest Preserve District of Will County

About this event

Description

Ever driven by forest preserve land and wondered why it’s smoking? It’s not a wildfire; it’s a prescribed burn. Fire has shaped our ecosystems throughout history and is an important tool necessary for the health of natural spaces. Join our ecology coordinator for a presentation on why, when and how the Forest Preserve District of Will County uses fire as a tool for conserving and restoring the habitats entrusted to us. Bring your questions and come ready to learn about the power and impact of fire in nature.


If you have any questions, please call us at 815-727-8700.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
