At JavaVino’s January Science Café presentation, The Science of Fire, you’ll learn why controlled burning is essential to restoring the health and diversity of the upper Midwest. Discover how burns are planned and carried out, how fire shapes habitat for countless species, and why timing and frequency are key to successful conservation.

Presenter Levi Plath is the Land Manager for Mississippi Valley Conservancy. With degrees in Ecology and Field Biology, Levi has spent the last ten years at the Conservancy working with landowners and municipalities to create land management plans, including developing prescribed burn plans and acting as a burn boss on countless properties.
