Description

Just over ten years ago, the Pagami Creek Fire burned about 93,000 acres in the Boundary Waters Wilderness east of Ely. Most of that area burned in just a few days during a wind-driven run of surprising speed and extent. The fire offers numerous lessons related to disturbance ecology of northern Minnesota fire-dependent forests, wildlife response, fire behavior, incident management, and more. Many of these lessons were applied during the 2021 Greenwood fire, not far south of the Pagami Creek fire. Over two days we’ll hear from forest, wildlife, and hydrology researchers, incident managers, agency representatives, and community members.

Day 1, April 13 from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.: Minnesota North College Vermilion Campus
Presentations at Minnesota North College Vermilion Campus addressing the story of the fire, how fire regimes have shaped regional forests, impacts of the Pagami Creek Fire on mammal and bird life, how fire intensity and effects varied across the burn area, and a comparison between the Pagami and Greenwood fires.

Day 2, April 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Vermilion and Greenwood Fire tour
How a changing climate affects fire risk and what we can do about it. Includes brief presentations at Minnesota North College Vermilion Campus followed by a tour of sites impacted by the Greenwood Fire.
