Let's build firebreaks!

Join the Land Management team at Boscobel Bluffs State Natural Area were we will work on preparing firebreaks for our upcoming prescribed burns at the site. This nature preserve hosts habitats and ecosystems that thrive alongside low-intensity fire, which refreshes and renews the landscape. Bundle up and bring along a friend as we get down to business clearing brush, sticks, logs, and leaves away from the firebreak!

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!

Terrain difficulty: ROLLING TERRAIN

Work difficulty: MODERATE DIFFICULTY
