Danielle's presentation will highlight a core chapter of her dissertation research that investigates the influence of prescribed fire on plant and bee communities and their interactions. Plant and pollinator surveys for this project were conducted in vulnerable grassland habitats across Southeast Michigan including sites at the E.L. Johnson Nature Center. This research aims to better understand how prescribed fire management impacts native bee communities to inform management plans and ensure their alignment with pollinator conservation goals.
