Torrie Withrow, a senior from Wayne City studying outdoor recreation, demonstrates to Maggie Bathgatt-Duram how to build a mound fire during one of Touch of Nature’s Eco Camps Tuesday. A mound fire is built on a tarp with a dirt base so it will not burn the ground or leave marks. It is a fire technique used for the “Leave No Trace” program. Withrow is a camp leader for Camp SIBOGI, Southern Illinois Boys and Girls, which took place June 30 to July 3. The camp is named after a past Touch of Nature program.
