Prescribed Night Burn

Friday, October 18, 2024

Have you ever wondered why conservation agencies burn their prairies? Fall is one of the times of year where conservation managers conduct prescribed burns on prairies and grasslands to promote native plant growth and to combat unwanted species. 

Come and learn about prescribed fire, with the added excitement of watching the burn at night. Wear weather appropriate clothing and bring your questions. Meet at the Prairie Creek Pavilion. If weather conditions are not conducive or unsafe for burning, then the burn will be cancelled.

Registration is required at least 48 hours in advance. For more information or to register, call (563) 652-3783 or email conservation@jacksoncounty.iowa.gov.
