The featured presenter of the night was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.org\/ourinitiatives\/regions\/northamerica\/unitedstates\/maryland_dc\/experts\/deborah-landau-bio.xml\">Deborah Landau<\/a> an ecologist for the Maryland\/DC Chapter of TNC. She spoke to us about local conservation and restoration work including her specialty prescribed burns in nature preserves.\u00a0Deborah talked about how some plant species need fire for their life cycles. She told a story about finding a rare orchid (which bloomed soon after a prescribed burn) that hadn\u2019t been seen in years. Turns out the flower needed fire in order to thrive!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the night was spent hanging out, listening to live music, and of course sharing our upcoming trip plans.
