Today (March 26) - a Prairie Burn (rural Nature Preserve - Gardens)

This event is taking place -- morning of Saturday, 3/26/2011:

• Prairie burn — Saturday, 10 a.m. Each spring, half of Fernwood’s reconstructed tallgrass prairie is burned by local firefighters to encourage seed germination and new growth while suppressing unwanted non-native plants. This year’s burn is scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m., weather permitting. Visitors are welcome to watch. Call ahead for schedule changes.
