Lone Pine State Park Grassland Prescribed Burn Decision Notice
Mar 31, 2022 2:59 PM
FWP will implement a prescribed burn in cooperation with DNRC on 17 acres of native grassland at Lone Pine State Park in early April of 2022 or 2023. The prescribed fire will help sustain this fire-dependent community by removing the thatch build-up and fire-intolerant species encroaching into the native grassland, leaving a healthier plant community. This will improve and maintain a vibrant prairie ecosystem and associated flora and fauna.
