About the event
Join the Wisconsin Prescribed Fire Council and the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association for a field trip on July 18! We’ll tour a private property undergoing a prairie and woodland restoration, and we’ll hear from the landowners about their use of prescribed fire in that process. This will be a great opportunity to learn about how to conduct prescribed burns on private lands, and how to work with other landowners to do so sustainably and cost-effectively.
The field tour will occur from 9:00am to 12:00pm on July 18 in Albany, WI, and will be followed by a community potluck. It will occur rain-or-shine and involves walking on moderately-steep terrain. Attendees should plan accordingly and expect to sign a waiver upon arrival.
