TheWoWDBI ran into an issue where I was zoned to just "Felwood" (no subzone name) for most of the quest area and I was unable to use the quest item. If this happens to you, fly to Darkshore and use Zidormi to change Darkshore to before Battle For Azeroth. Then the zoning in Felwood will be correct and you can use the item anywhere in the quest area.

You just need to spam flares everywhere. Road, buildings, shredders.
These guys were hard to find for me, I had to target the front of the buildings and up the ramp a bit to find them. They attacked me as soon as they were visible, even for being a few levels below me.

What to do
Description
This operation's stayed pretty discreet so far, but the worgen over in Talonbranch Glade have it out for us. They've been trying everything they can to get us shut down. Some of the workers have told me they've seen glimpses of worgen lurking around the clearing. Take these oversized megaflares. They're bright enough to show anything that gets anywhere near them. Use the flares to look for prowling worgen, and make sure they don't leave here alive!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wisps of the Woods
I have toiled long here with the Denmother to spread the teachings of Cenarius and the ways of the wild. She has gained much of my trust, and in return, I have been allowed to introduce the spirits of the forest to her students. The company of wisps is a great honor, as well as a useful blessing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into the Clearing
Irontree Clearing must be razed. We can afford no mercy if we want to prevent the goblins from spreading their destruction through the entire forest. Alton Redding, my most trusted protector, has already led much of the pack around the enemy line to strike while they are distracted here.
