The Land Remembers is a reflective storytelling presentation that explores our ancestral connection to the Land and what it means to be a steward of the places we call home. Blending personal narrative, environmental history, and ecological insight, this moving and educational session invites us to listen to the lessons of the Land—its memory, its resilience, and its call for care.

This year’s program will also highlight the essential role of prescribed burning in maintaining healthy, biodiverse ecosystems. Fire, when used with intention and respect for traditional Land practices, helps restore native habitats, reduce invasive species, prevent larger, dangerous wildfires and preserve the balance that nature depends on.

Through stories rooted in Door County’s natural beauty and the science behind fire ecology, we’ll reflect on how Land holds memory—and how we can honor that memory through mindful stewardship.
