Red Hills Fire Festival highlights the use of prescribed fire and its benefits to the ecosystem and coincides with Prescribed Fire Awareness week in Florida and Georgia.
The Red Hills Fire Festival - hosted by Tall Timbers - is a family-friendly, public event on February 3 aims to help increase awareness and understanding of prescribed fire as a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health, sequester carbon and reduce wildfire risk across the southern pine forest. Weather permitting, the event will include a live prescribed fire demonstration with color commentary from fire scientists to explain how teams safely conduct a burn, more than 30 exhibits will highlight wildlife and science activities and guided wagon tours through the fire-managed forest at Tall Timbers will be provided throughout the event. Tallahassee-based band, Two-Foot Level will be playing throughout the day and several food vendors will be serving lunch.
