Explore a portion of the 50+ acres of the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area that experienced a brush fire in November 2024 to see first-hand how the herbaceous layer is recovering. How damaging are brush fires of this size and intensity? What are the short and long-term effects of fire on a woodland ecosystem? How might this fire resemble those set by the Nonotuck?

Important: You must be able to walk for 2 miles and over uneven ground. We will be walking on and off-trail.

In partnership with Broad Brook Coalition.
