Let's build fire breaks!

Happy (early) Valentines Day! Do you have a Burning Desire to restore ecosystems in the Driftless? Do you want to show how much you LOVE the Earth? Come out to build a relationship with the land. On Friday, February 13th, we will be working on preparing prescribed fire breaks at Tunnelville Cliffs State Natural Area. Register today and help the Land Management Team clear sticks, branches, and logs away from the firebreaks to ensure a safe and effective fire in the spring!

All ages and skill levels are welcome – dress appropriately for the weather, bring a water bottle and sturdy footwear and clothing to protect from brush. Events may involve full body movement on uneven ground and sometimes steep slopes. Expert instruction, protective gear, tools, and snacks will be provided. Together, we can make a big difference in a short amount of time!
