#49. Wildlife & Fire in the Moquah Pine Barrens (FT-3) 6:45 am – 11:30 am The ecosystems of the sand plains of Northwest Wisconsin have been shaped over the millenia by frequent fires, which many species of plants and the animals depend upon to create the conditions they need to thrive. Certified Wildlife Biologist Scott Posner will lead a tour of sites being restored to the pine barrens ecosystem through prescribed burning and other treatments. Participants will learn about the relationship of fire and birds such as the black-backed woodpecker, clay-colored sparrow, and brown thrasher, as well as the very rare Chryxus Arctic butterfly and numerous other animals and plants. Weather permitting, this trip should yield a good mix of bird, insect, and mammal sightings!
