SUMMARY:Fire in the Forest
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Two hundred years ago\, the lifeblood of Furnace Town was the i
 ron\npulled from the depths of the Nassawango Creek. Laborers harvested bo
 g\niron from the creek\, but to transform that raw ore into iron\, they\nn
 eeded the intense\, controlled heat of the iron furnace. This process\nmad
 e the furnace the center of the community\, turning the natural\nresources
  of the Pocomoke into the tools and products of a growing\nnation. \n\nTo
 day\, we are once again using controlled fire as a vital tool for our\ncom
 munity—but this time\, the goal is conservation rather than\nindustry. W
 e are proud to serve as the host site for a unique\neducational demonstrat
 ion led by the MARYLAND DNR and TALL TIMBERS\n[https://talltimbers.org/?zl
 inkid=2585d794-b364-4fc3-af73-d66a212d1686].\nOn Saturday\, May 30\, these
  experts will be conducting a prescribed\nburn in the adjacent Pocomoke St
 ate Forest. Just as the village here\nonce carefully managed fire to power
  an industry\, today’s\nconservationists use it as a scientific tool to 
 protect wildlife\nhabitats and ensure the health of the very ecosystem tha
 t once\nsustained our historic village.  \n\nThis event offers a rare op
 portunity to watch modern fire ecology in\naction from the safety of our h
 istoric grounds. You’ll learn the\nscience behind prescribed fire and se
 e how it is used to sustain\nhabitat. \n
