Dave Borneman was the Natural Area Preservation Manager for the City of Ann Arbor for 28 years, retiring in February, 2022. He now has more time to devote to his private business doing controlled ecological burns throughout the Midwest. Dave is a former board member of the Stewardship Network, the Natural Areas Association, and the Midwest Invasive Plant Network, but still serves on the Steering Committee of the Michigan Prescribed Fire Council. Outside of burn season, he splits his time between Ann Arbor and a newly acquired lake cabin in northeast Michigan.
