Stay tuned to this posting to get the latest information. And now an excerpt from Greg Grant's "Fire, Flowers, and Forests"...

          "Long before fire suppression became standard practice, regular low intensity fires shaped East Texas landscapes. These natural burns kept forests open, encouraged wildflowers, reduced dangerous fuel buildup, and created ideal habitat for wildlife. Today, prescribed fire is carefully planned, science based, professionally managed, and it remains one of the most effective land management tools we have."

And you have an opportunity to join us for a day of nature-based hands-on activities aimed at families, as well as short, guided walks and special speaker presentations. There will be a variety of fire engines and equipment on-site and a live demonstration of prescribed fire. We also have door prizes!

There are also a variety of self-guided activities and demonstrations for you to explore, including but not limited to:

Touch-A-Dozer
Engine Hose Challenges
Native Seed Balls
Skins & Skulls
Make a Wildlife Track
Fire Tools of the Trade
Dress like a Fire Fighter
Photobooths
Reading Fire Weather
Fun with Foam
Fly Fishing, and more!
