The Hiking Club welcomes Dr. Molly Hunter as the featured speaker at its monthly meeting and program on February 19, 2025.
Her presentation, titled “The Changing Role of Fire in Arizona Ecosystems”, is intended to help hikers understand the ecology and impacts of fire in ecosystems throughout Arizona and what land managers can do to mitigate the impacts of fire to ecosystem and communities.
Dr. Hunter is the primary science advisor for the Joint Fire Science Program, a partnership among U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior, that funds scientific studies to inform wildland fire management.
