Fire is a natural part of the Florida ecosystem. In order to prevent larger wildfires and to promote the health of the forest, prescribed fires are an essential tool for land managers. Join Park Naturalist and certified wildland firefighter Sean McGrail on a walk through Lemon Bay Park to discuss the role of prescribed fire, the requirements to perform them, and techniques used to ensure the safety of the surrounding areas. Please be ready for a 1.5-mile walk through potentially uneven terrain and bring any necessary sunscreen and water.
