Join us! Pizza & salad dinner at 5:45PM, followed by a presentation at 6PM with guest speaker: Dr. Kurt Kipfmueller, Morse Alumni Distinguished Professor of Geography, Environment, and Society at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities: “Using the stories contained in tree-rings to better understand forest patterns to guide forest stewardship in Northern Michigan and the Great Lakes.”
This presentation will provide an overview of how tree-rings can help reconstruct past forest environments and will focus on ongoing work that examines the role of fire and Indigenous fire stewardship in shaping the forests of the Waganakising area of NW lower Michigan.
