Description: Fire, water, earth, and air are the four sacred elements of ancient philosophy. Fire both destroys and renews life and also plays an important role in the ecology of the Midwest —and our attitudes toward fire have changed greatly over time. Seventy-five years ago we tried to stop every landscape fire as soon as possible. Now we set prescribed fires to achieve our strategic management goals. This dramatic cultural shift in attitudes appeared in popular culture, land management, and science. Learn about fire, assist with reforestation efforts, plant trees and build protective cages. You can help make a difference! Fee includes a box lunch.
