2026 Fields on Fire - Prescribed Fire in the Preserve
Friday, April 17, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Join the Preserve Team to learn about some of the ways fire has been used intentionally as a management technique for Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill's prairie restorations. Humans have used fire as a land use management tool for millennia, and it shaped many of the ecosystems in the eastern US prior to European settlement. This program will take place shortly after the implementation of prescribed fire in a few areas of the Preserve, and participants will get to see a before-and-after comparison of burned and non-burned prairie areas.
