Once and Future Wildfires
Jed Meunier, Wisconsin DNR Fire Ecologist
In 2017, Jed spoke to us about what he and his crew discovered from ancient tree stump fire scars at Toni Ankenbrandt’s Pine Bluff BRPA easement property. With this lecture, we’ll learn about how his updated historical fire research has influenced DNR Forestry’s recently released Strategic Priorities. Increasing prescribed burning across all ownerships in Wisconsin is one of their main goals.
