Learn About “Significant Relationships” at Chik-Wauk!
Don’t miss the last presentation in this year’s “Becoming A Boundary Waters Family” presentation. Each Thursday this summer a U.S. Forest Service ranger has given a talk on the Chik-Wauk porch at 3 p.m. The presentations have been both well received and well attended, so be sure to show up a little early if you’d like a seat.
This Thursday, August 26th, sisters Brandee Wenzel and Bre Schueller will present on “Significant Relationships.” Brandee is a wilderness ranger and plant specialist. Bre is a fuels technician. Together, they’ll illustrate how the landscape around you is, in a sense, the offspring of Forest and Fire. They will discuss the effects of fire and fire suppression on the forest over the past 100 years and explain how some plant species use disturbances such as fire to their advantage. You’ll also learn about current fire management strategies in the wilderness that you may see in operation this year.
If you haven’t made it to a presentation yet, this one is definitely not to be missed. See you there!
