What happens to wildlife when a wildfire moves through the landscape?

Join Okanogan Land Trust and Matthew Danielson of Conservation Northwest for an exploration of how wildlife responds to wildfire and how burned landscapes evolve in the years that follow.

We’ll look at the ecological role of fire, the challenges wildlife face, and the surprising ways life returns to a changing landscape.

Part of OkaKnowledgy, Okanogan Land Trust’s community education series.

This Sounds Interesting!
