Discover the vital role of fire in nature! Join Ranger George for an informative walk along Nopales Ridge Trail to explore the recent controlled burn at Lake Brownwood State Park. This approximately 1.5-mile guided hike highlights how fire shapes and benefits the ecosystem, supports plant and animal life, and why controlled burns are essential for conservation and land management.
