1/2-day trip; easy to moderate off trail walking
We will spend the morning exploring the burn within the 2020 Bridger Foothills Fire perimeter. This is an opportunity to visit a recent burn and learn about post-fire ecology, including bird responses and relationships to forest fires and burned landscapes. Notably, Black-backed Woodpeckers and other woodpeckers are known to rapidly return to recent burns to feast on the insect life unique to this fascinating change in the ecosystem. Join us to find out what other pioneering birds and plant life can be found in such a recently burned forest.
Meet at Story Mill Community Park, 698 Bridger Dr. Bozeman at 6:45 AM 10-person limit. Please contact trip leader to register.
