Ecological Burn planned for Saturday September 27, 2014
The Nature Conservancy in conjunction with the Rivers to Ridges Partners is planning on burning 3 units totally 63 acres on Saturday September 27, 2014. These burn units are located south of the West 18th Ave. and west of Bertelsen Ave/ Bailey Hill Ave. The objectives of two of the units of the ecological burn are to enhance habitat for endangered Fender's blue butterfly and its host plant Kincaid's lupine, to top-kill shrubs and stamp sprouts, and reduce vegetative cover for voles. The last unit is undergoing restoration from an historic bent grass field to a native upland prairie.
