Study of Controlled Fires on islands in Lake of the Woods seeks community member participants
A graduate research study is currently being done regarding prescribed burns (intentionally lit, controlled fires) that were conducted on islands in Lake of the Woods. The prescribed burns being studied were done on islands in the Lake of the Woods Conservations Reserve south of the Barrier Islands and they took place between 2012 and 2015. This study is looking for individuals who have experience with the islands on Lake of the Woods and some knowledge of the fires that were lit on them. Participation in the study will involve a short interview that should take no more than 30 minutes and which can be done over the phone or in person. Participants in the study can remain anonymous, if they so choose.
