In 2024 a research team collected over 200 samples of old wood in the Eagle Harbor and Sand Bay wooded dunes. The oldest sample dates back to 1337, and all samples recorded multiple fires. Both human and natural interactions played key roles in the fire process. Join retired US Forest Fire Management Officer Jay Saunders as he presents what he has learned from the research and how it can impact the current and future management of the rare Great Lakes wooded dune ecosystems.
