What we do

Our collaboration brings a range of perspectives, experiences, knowledge, and expertise to advance understanding of fire as key part of the cultures and ecologies of the Great Lakes Region.

Fire History

Our team includes multiple skilled dendrochronologists - researchers who translate the stories of trees to more familiar languages through the study of tree rings.

Education

We are educators working at multiple institutions offering a range of degrees relevant to understanding and advancing fire stewardship efforts across the region.
