Igniting Collaboration: Expanding Capacity for Good Fire
Fire is a dynamic and essential component of almost all ecological communities. When used thoughtfully, prescribed fire promotes biodiversity, strengthens resilience, and restores landscapes. Yet despite its benefits, numerous challenges often prevent prescribed burns from happening.
In this presentation, you’ll learn about approaches and collaborative strategies that The Nature Conservancy and fellow conservation stakeholders are using to put more good fire on the ground. This discussion emphasizes the power of doing things “together” for larger conservation outcomes. We’ll also explore the ecological and historical significance of fire, particularly in the Central Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion, and why it remains a cornerstone of restoration efforts.
