Back in 2016, we were lucky to have the forest fire in Little Cranberry Lake put out so quickly, and we’re grateful to the Department of Natural Resources and many other fire-fighting agencies for their speedy and effective work. Now, let’s go take a look and see how the forest is regrowing. We’ll learn more about the certain plant species that thrive in post-fire conditions, and we’ll also discuss the human impacts amplifying fire season in the West and the effects that drier and drier conditions may have here on Fidalgo Island.

You are welcome to bring your own guides, snacks, and hand sanitizer. Dress in preparation for the weather, and don’t forget that water bottle.
