Campfire Talk-Fire in Our Forests: How Fire Shapes Alabama ‘s Flora and Fauna
Join us for a fun campfire talk in the great outdoors! Campfire Talks are a series of educational & entertaining programs located outside in DeSoto State Park. Campfire programs are held many Friday & Saturday evening (June –October) in our large campfire ring inside the improved campground. Talks are for all ages, & open to everyone!
Alabama’s forests are intimately tied to fire. Fire’s interactions with our plants and animals have shaped the states’ ecosystems for thousands of years. Restoring a fire regime in areas where fire has been removed from the landscape can be very difficult. Join guest Naturalist Jimmy Stiles to learn about the importance of prescribed fire to maintaining our astounding biodiversity.
Seating is limited, bring so your own comfortable camp chair if you wish.
