SUMMARY:Fire-Adapted/Dependent Animals and Plants\,
DESCRIPTION:What happens to life when forests go up in smoke? Local resident Glen Minuth will help us look into how certain plants and animals in our western forests handle fire regimes to thrive in the ash-laden leftovers in what was left of the forest. Both plants and animals employ numerous survival strategies. We will gain an understanding of fire adaptations that reflect the traits plants and animals use to help them survive wildfire or to leverage the resources generated by wildfire.
