Another Day of Learning

The conference comes to a close with a final finale of learning.  Today's topic, prescribed burning, seems to be the theme.  We need to do more, we are not doing enough, put fire on the ground!  These words are practically shouted from speakers coming from all parts of the world; most interesting, from Ireland, where there are very few days dry enough to even think about burning!  It is quite interesting to hear all the different perspectives.  Below is an image of a coffee break prior to the morning/afternoon sessions.  The school has beautiful internal yards which the following pictures illustrate.  There are at least a dozen wild cats in these gardens.

 

The day finishes with a nice standup meal of appetizers and wine.  We visit, tell stories, and celebrate a most successful event. Time to be a tourist!  A group of us are off to see Barcelona tomorrow.  Expect many pictures to come!!
