The parks will be closed to the public during the burns. Smoke will be visible in the immediate area, and emergency vehicles and personnel will be stationed along Grays Road. Dates for the controlled burns are weather-dependent and subject to change.
Controlled burns are an important part of maintaining and rejuvenating meadow vegetation. By removing excessive thatch buildup, controlling invasive plant species and stimulating germination of native-season grasses, the burns help maintain a healthy ecosystem.
