The field trip will tour three unique sites in the Ely area (both public and private land) where prescribed fire has been planned and implemented.

Stop Two: Private property off the Echo Trail

Stop Three: US Forest Service Slim Lake Prescribed Fire Project Area 

Our forests are fire dependent and need periodic low intensity fire to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and promote a balanced ecosystem. Prescribed fire is an important part of forest management and a beneficial means of achieving cross-cultural stewardship objectives.

Learn from fire professionals and educators about the role fire plays in our forest on this morning field trip!
