In the event that the burn needs to be rescheduled due to weather, it will take place early in the week of May 9.

Burning is an important aspect designed to remove weeds and other non-desirable species, stimulate growth of existing native plants and increase public awareness of management techniques and the benefits of prairie plantings.
