SUMMARY:After the Fire: Ecological Wonders in Burned Areas
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, April 15\nTime: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Montana Natural History Center\nCost: $10 MNHC members/$15 non-members \nPlease join MNHC and Jane Kapler Smith for a fascinating look into post-fire landscapes and the wonders you can find there. \nREGISTER HERE. \nEvery square foot of dry land in our region has probably burned in the past thousand years. This heritage of fire has shaped every ecosystem in our wildlands; it has given us much of the diversity in wild landscapes that delights us; and\, over many millennia\, it has shaped our native species themselves. \nSo why not get into a burned area this summer and look for some of the botanical treasures that show up only in the first decade or two after fire? This lecture/demonstration can help you get ready for your summer explorations. Jane will suggest some recent burns to visit\, describe how to recognize differences in fire severity within a burn\, and show how plants can survive a fire and even have their best\, most productive years in the decades that follow. \nLight refreshments provided. \nAbout the instructor: Jane Kapler Smith has an M.S. in Forest Ecology from Colorado State University and a B.A. in English and Theatre from Alverno College\, Milwaukee. She worked in fire control and management in Glacier National Park during the 1970s. In the 1980s\, she completed research on fire effects in quaking aspen stands in northern Colorado. From 1992-2015\, she worked at the Fire Science Laboratory in Missoula\, MT\, developing literature reviews on fire effects (https://www.feis-crs.org/feis/) and an educational curriculum on wildland fire (https://www.frames.gov/fireworks/home). She has been VERY happily retired for 10 years. \nFAQs: \nWhat’s the refund policy?\nThe course fee (minus a 25% administrative fee) is refundable if a cancellation is made up to 7 days before the event. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made after this deadline. See our full refund/cancellation policy here. \nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?\nNope! We will have a list of all the attendees. \nRegister here:
