Master Naturalist CE Webinars | Fire Ecology for Managing Prairies and Woodlands | April 14

Fire Ecology for Managing Prairies and Woodlands
Much of Illinois is or was dominated by fire-adapted ecosystems from prairies to savannas to barrens and oak woodlands. Historically, fire played a key role in maintaining diversity, structure, and function in these systems. Today, prescribed fire is a tool that can be used to promote plant diversity, control invasive species, and restore structure. In this session we will discuss some of the basics of fire ecology in native systems and how it can be used for restoring native prairies and woodlands.

Presenter: Jon Henn, Assistant Professor, Grassland Ecology and Restoration, Illinois Extension
