Description:
Join us for a compelling presentation by Franziska Adair on wildfires and their impact on a handful of trails in Oregon. Combining her love of the outdoors and photography, she will present before-and-after views of local trails, discuss recent wildfires, how they started, how large they became, and what they changed. Learn why fire plays an important role in healthy ecosystems—and when it becomes dangerously destructive.
