Winter Enrichment Lectures Series 2022
Speaker: Lee Frelich, director, Center for Forest Ecology, University of Minnesota.
Boreal forests of northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters have experienced large-scale disturbances over the last 400 years, including many large high-intensity fires and the “Big Blowdown” of 1999. We will explore how the fire regime has changed over the last 400 years, how it varies across the landscape, how fire and wind influence forest succession, and the future of the Boundary Waters with a warmer climate. Register by March 6.
The Winter Enrichment Lecture Series runs Thursday mornings, 10–11:30 a.m., February 3 to April 7, 2022. Lectures are $10 each or $70 for 7 or more.
