Michigan's First Prescribed Fire Festival Held October 25 in Ann Arbor, with Live Burn Demonstrations at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Michigan's first Prescribed Fire Festival was held on October 25 at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, co-hosted by the Michigan Prescribed Fire Council and the gardens, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for all ages.
The event featured hands-on activities and live demonstrations explaining how prescribed fire — deliberately set under controlled conditions to clear vegetation — maintains ecosystem health, protects biodiversity, and reduces the risk of uncontrolled wildfires. Organizers hope the state's first such festival will help more residents understand the science of controlled burns in woodland and prairie management.
