Come learn how fire helps Heartwood Preserve’s woods remain healthy and vibrant. The longleaf pine ecosystem depends on the regular occurrence of fire. Heartwood Preserve is planning a prescribed burn within the next few months.

Learn about the importance of Prescribed Fire from Laura Starkey, Heartwood’s Executive Director, Land Manager & “Burn Boss” on Saturday, May 11, 2019, at 4100 Starkey Blvd. in Trinity, Florida.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP by calling (727) 376-5111 by May 4.

Wear closed-toe shoes (NO SANDALS) and dress for the weather. Be sure to bring your own water bottle, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

Following Heartwood Preserve’s next burn, there will be a special tour of the burn areas, so you can see for yourself the amazing and transformative effects of nature’s most incredible of tools: fire.
