The image is a sign on the side of a mountain that reads "In the spring of 2003, the mountain beyond the lake was ablaze. Plumes of smoke billowed skyward as fire fingered up the slopes. This fire was no accident. Park managers lit it because years of putting out fires had created aging lodgepole pine stands prone to insect outbreaks and large-scale wildfires. Fires used to burn here every fifty years or so. They recycled nutrients, maintained a mix of habitats and species, and kept insects and disease in check. To keep the montane zone healthy, we must restore fire." 

On the right side of the sign, there is an illustration of a woodpecker perched on a tree branch. The background shows a forested area with trees and a lake in the distance. The sign is white with black text and illustrations.
