The Role of Fire in Their Persistence\n\n\n\nOnce common across much of the central and eastern United States\, open oak woodlands are disappearing as forests become denser and shadier. \n\n\n\nIn this Science Café\, Dr. Alexander examines the important relationship between oaks and fire\, how decades of fire exclusion have changed our forests\, and what can be done to restore these iconic ecosystems. Learn why oaks matter\, what is causing their decline\, and how fire may be part of the solution. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Heather Alexander is a professor of forest and fire ecology and the Dwain G. Luce Endowed Professor of Forestry at Auburn University. She teaches courses in forest ecology and fire management and studies how changing fire patterns affect forests. For more than 20 years\, her research has focused on the effects of fire on eastern U.S. forests\, and for over a decade\, she has studied wildfire impacts in Alaska and Siberia. She has published more than 90 scientific papers\, mentored over 30 graduate students\, and recently received the Distinguished Leader Award from the International Association of Fire Ecology. \n\n\n\nTickets for this Nature Zen Month Special Edition of Science Café are $30. Proceeds will benefit Overton Park Conservancy’s year round free and accessible environmental education programming. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration opens two weeks in advance!
