We have completed prescribed fires on Todd’s pastures in 2025 and 2026 and will be able to demonstrate the long term and short term effects of fire on this amazing native grassland overlooking the scenic James River Valley. We will also have some field identification of the grasses and forbs on this native prairie. As plans are finalized, brochures and other advertising will be forthcoming. Please mark your calendars for this informative and relevant event.
