For decades we have been urged to avoid forest fires by Smokey Bear but did you know fire can play a beneficial part in the health of a forest?

The Quabbin Visitor Center will hold an Understanding Forest Fire Ecology in Massachusetts online program on Sunday, March 26th from 2 – 3 pm EDT.

This presentation will explain how carefully controlled prescribed burns can restore habitat, support endangered flora and fauna, and reduce the risk of wildfire.
