Research-based Answers to Burning Questions about the Ecology of
Prescribed Fires: When, Where, Why?
A Janet Meakin Poor Research Symposium
9 a.m. . 4 p.m., Friday, October 26, 2012
Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, IL
Intentionally burning fire-prone habitats, such as forest, savannah, and
grassland, is an important tool for land managers to improve habitat,
control weeds, promote ecosystem health, and reduce risks of catastrophic
fires. In this symposium, experts in fire ecology will examine the history
of natural fires, current fire research, and future trends in
fire-maintained ecosystems as diverse as Wisconsin sand plains, Minnesota
grasslands, boreal and western forests, and Florida sand pine scrubs. We
will synthesize these diverse perspectives to gain insight into improving
local and regional prescribed burning practices.
