Why is there smoke coming from the park? Why are there so many people in yellow and green around? Is the park burning on purpose or is there a wildfire? Is there a reason why parks prescribed burn? What's the difference between a prescribed burn and wildfire? Find out the answers to these questions on Saturday March 8th from 11am-1pm at the parks visitor center, where Ranger McKenney will be not only answering these questions but will have various types of tools and equipment that wildland firefighters use on fires!
This will be appropriate for all ages and registration is not required. For further information or questions please email mitchell.mckenney@ncparks.gov
