Join SLA’s Corbin Faidley on a 2.0 mile hike up Old Bridal Path on Sunday, May 18th from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. exploring Fire ecology! During the hike you will learn about various fire adaptations plants and animals have developed to help thrive in these conditions and gain a general understanding of fire behavior.
Fire is an essential element in our forests and is a crucial part of how our forest cycle nutrients like phosphorus, calcium, and other minerals. If you are curious how fire promotes biodiversity and how pine trees can protect themselves in a fire, join our program to learn more.
